Torah Defined

(Heb., "teaching, instruction"). In general, torah refers to study of the whole gamut of Jewish tradition or to some aspect thereof. In its special sense, "the Torah" refers to the "five books of Moses" in the Hebrew scriptures (see Pentateuch). In the Quran, "Torah" is the main term by which Jewish scripture is identified.

This definition is in context to Judaism. See more contextual defintions for Torah.
