This paper is intended to investigate the phenomenon of euphemism in the Glorious Qur'an and its rendering into English ,i.e., the translations of its meaning. A general theoretical framework of euphemism in English and Arabic with a particular view in the Glorious Qur'an is first introduced . A sample of Qur'anic texts with their English rendering has been analyzed . The results show that the percentage of presenting the euphemism form in the target text (TT) is (77.5%), while that of revealing its intended meaning , with some degree of decency, is (20%). The results also show that the percentage of presenting the euphemistic form followed by an explanation of the intended meaning is only (2.5%). The paper ends up with a number of conclusions and recommendations based on the findings of the study .
