Examining the opinions of contemporary modern thinkers in the field of Quranic issues is a subject worthy of attention. Mohammad Shahrour is a new thinker who has presented a different meaning of the Quranic word furqan. According to this theory, Furqan means the ten commandments of the Torah, therefore, the purpose of proving this point of view is cited for several reasons such as: the connection of the verses based on the repetition of the word Furqan and the semantic connection of some verses and the ten commandments. The present research has analyzed and criticized the word Furqan from the root, lexical, literary, Qur'anic and interpretative point of view with analytical-critical method and further proved that the foundations of Shahrour's theory in three lexical issues (lack of root connection and The word Furqan and the Ten Commandments have some semantic, literary (mistakes in distinguishing v and inflection and creating redundant repetition) and interpretation (contradictions in the quantity and quality of the cited verses and the Ten Commandments), so the Quranic word Furqan cannot convey the meaning intended by Shahrour.
