What is the word for Torah in Arabic?

Answer 1

The word "Torah" in Hebrew or among Jews means a few of different things. Each of those meanings corresponds to a different translation into Arabic.

1) Torah as in the Pentateuch is typically translated as Tawrat Musa (توراة موسى) which literally means the "Torah of Moses" to distinguish it from the Old Testament which is also commonly called Tawra (توراة). (The official term for Old Testament which is Ahd Al-Qadim (عهد قديم) is an official term and not used often by non-professionals.)

2) Torah as in the Customs and Traditions of Jews (i.e. He follows his Torah) is typically translated as Taqlid al-Yehud (تقليد اليهود) which literally means "the Tradition of the Jews".

3) Torah as in the Oral Torah and the Canon of Jewish Law is typically translated as Ash-Shari'a Lil-Yehud (الشريعة لليهود) or "Religious Law for the Jews".
