وَإِذْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَالْفُرْقَانَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ

"Then We gave Musa the Book and the Criterion (of right and wrong) so that you find the right path." (2:53)

Torah is the book which was given to Sayyidna Musa (Moses - عليه السلام). In the language of the Holy Qur'an, al-Furqan is a term signifying something which separates truth from falsehood or distinguishes the one from the other. In the present verse, it refers either to (a) the injunctions of the Shari'ah which are to be found in the Torah, for the Shari'ah solves all the differences that may arise with regard to the doctrines or the practice of good deeds; or to (b) miracles which decide between a true or a false claim in a palpable manner; or even to (c) the Torah itself which has the twin qualities of being a Book of Allah and of being an instrument for separating truth from falsehood. (Ma'ariful Qur'an)
