What is the name of the book revealed to Moses (peace be upon him)? Is it "Al-Suhuf" or "Al-Furqan"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Book revealed to Moses is the Torah, which are the scriptures mentioned in the verse. Some scholars hold that the scriptures are distinct from the Torah, and that they were ten scriptures revealed to Moses before the Torah. The scriptures of Abraham and Moses are the books revealed to them. As for the Furqan (Criterion) in His saying, the Exalted: "And [mention] when We gave Moses the Scripture and the Criterion," what is meant by it is the distinction between truth and falsehood, and not the scriptures.
