Abstract
The Holy Qur'an had been sent down as an active intervention and a speechto the existing problems and happenings in the society sent. Since the pro-gress steps, details and audiences of the subjects told in the Qur'an are knownto the people of that era, names of the audience of the verses were not usuallystated clearly. Alternatively, audiences are mentioned by expressions such as"he, them, humans, majority of humans, believers ?mumin?, disbelievers ?kaf-ir? and people of the book ?ahl al-Kitab?". Those expressions are not inter-preted in the way to reflect the meaning in the target language, but just trans-lated directly in most of renditions.In those renditions, since the audience whether being believer ?mumin?,mushrik, Jewish or Christian is not expressed in paranthesis or in a differentway,the reader of the rendtion who do not know the conditions of the era may have problems in understanding who is targeted by the message. Thereader has the similar problem in which degree he is questioned by theseverses and has difficulties in identifying the right message made to him by theverses. We think that such kind of a problem is seen in understanding theterm "Aksar-un Nas" which is seen in twenty verses in total and having com-peletely judgmental content. In this article, audience of the related expressionand how to be understood are described based on tafsir literature.
Özet
Kur'an-ı Kerim nazil olduğu toplumda var olan sorunlara, yaşanan olaylara bir müdahale ve hitap olarak indirilmiştir. Kur'an'da anlatılan olayların geli-şim aşamaları, ayrıntıları ve muhatapları nüzul vasatında yaşayanlarca bilin-diği için, ayetlerin muhataplarının isimleri genel olarak açıkça zikredilmemiş-tir. Bunun yerine muhataplar "o, onlar, insanlar, insanların çoğu, mü'minler, kâfirler ve ehl-i kitap" gibi lafızlarla anlatılmıştır. Bu lafızlar, meallerin ço-ğunda anlamın hedef dile aktarılması şeklinde değil, sadece metnin tercüme edilmesi şeklinde çevrilmektedir
