Fruqaan or criterion

Furqaan (Criterion)

This new section develops upon the purification of the soul and the development of taqwa (piety), based on the verse (ayat) in the Holy Quraan that states,

"O you who believe! Have Taqwa of Allah (SWT). He will give you a Furqaan (criterion to judge between right and wrong)." [Soorah al-Anfaal (8): 29]

[29] O you who believe! Have Taqwa, He will grant you Furqaan ((a criterion to judge between right and wrong), or (Makhraj, i.e. a way for you to get out from every difficulty)) and will expiate for you your sins, and forgive you; and Allah is the Owner of the Great Bounty.

Also

"O you who believe! Have Taqwa (fear) of Allah (SWT) and believe in His Messenger; and He will provide you with a light by which you will walk." [Soorah al-Hadeed (57): 28]

[28] O you who believe! Have Taqwa, and believe in His Messenger (Muhammad (peace be upon him)) He will give you a double portion of His Mercy, and He will give you a light by which you shall walk (straight), and He will forgive you. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

It is with aid of other Islamic sites, the Quraan, hadith and this inner furqaan that this section will develop. I request readers to point out the errors in this section that I may be corrected and develop my understanding of Islam.
