translation of quraan

Question

assalamu alaikum....
my question is why is there difference among translators of the quran. do quranic words have different meanings for different scholars. can we know the exact meaning of the quranic words as taught by prophet muhammad s.a.w himself.
thank you.

Due to the depth, beauty, eloquence of the Arabic language one has many meanings and implications of single words, phrases and sentences. That is why we need to study so much and need experts to study and  who understand the various sciences relating to the Quraan itself.
