This article reports the findings of a research that aimed basically at examining the loss in denotative meaning in the translation of the Holy Quran, and how these losses can be reduced. It also identified the causes of the identified losses. Five ayahs were purposefully selected to address the research questions. The research results showed that loss in denotative meaning occurred due to many factors such as lack of equivalence and the translation strategies employed. This research also suggests solutions for the identified problems.
