Quran 2:53 — Al-Baqara, verse 53
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Remember when We gave Moses the Scripture, and the means to distinguish [right and wrong], so that you might be guided.
وَإِذْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَالْفُرْقَانَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
wa-idh ātaynā mūsā l-kitāba wal-fur'qāna laʿallakum tahtadūna
