This study was library research which used qualitative study. The data were collected through documentation, including the theory of translation shift by J.C. Catford. The study used data analysis which adopted the stages from John W. Creswell (2007) (preparing and organizing, coding and reducing, and interpreting and representing). The method of analysis which was used in this study was descriptive percentage analysis. This study focused on the syntactic analysis of translation shift on Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s translation of su>rah al-Wa>qi’ah which has 96 verses. The result of this study showed that equivalence held the highest number with total numbers 40. Then, the most frequently found shift types occured in Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s translation of su>rah al-Wa>qi’ah (Arabic into English) were Unit Shift and Structure Shift with the percentage of both is 44% (31) and 24% (17) from the total number of shift is 70. The other three shift types did not show any significant level of number of shift. Class Shift held 16% (11). Then Level Shift held 13% (9). And the lowest number of shift was Intra-System Shift which only held 2% (2). This result suggested that the more equivalence occurred, the more valid a translated text. The use of shift had always been considered an inseparable element of a good and readable piece of translation. It more focused on syntactic pattern, so it was good to be implemented in grammar lesson. Beside, the students could know the grammar lesson, they also know the structure of the Holy Qur’an verse. vi TRANSLITERASI ARAB-LATIN Penulisan transliterasi huruf-huruf Arab Latin dalam penelitian ini berpedoman pada SKB Menteri Agama dan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan RI Nomor: 158/1987 dan Nomor: 0543b/U/1987.
