Tablets of Moses (a): Difference between revisions

The [[Torah]] is explicit that there were two Tablets: "the two Tablets of the Ten Commandments"<ref>Exodus 20:1-17 / Deuteronomy 5:4-21</ref>. The Qur'an talks about "alwah"<ref>"Alwah" is a plural noun in Arabic and the plural form in this language equals at least three.</ref> ("tablets" in the plural from, rather than the dual form) without referring to the number. Thus, there are different views among exegetes of the Qur'an with respect to the number of the tablets. Some of them believe that in Arabic, plural form is used instead of the dual form (muthanna), so the tablets were two.
