Abstract

This study is devoted to the difficulties of translating key Sufi terms — zikr, fana and ishq — while preserving their connotative and spiritual connotations. Analyzing various approaches to the translation of these concepts, the author emphasizes the need for a deep understanding of the cultural and religious context in order to adequately convey the Sufi experience in translations.
