| “Our Lord, raise from among them a Messenger who will recite to them Your verses | رَبَّنَا وَابْعَثْ فِيْهِمْ رَسُوْلًا مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَاتِكَ | |
| and teach them the book and wisdom and purify them | وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الكِتَابَ وَالحِكْمَةَ وَيُزَكِّيْهِمْ | |
| 2-129 | Truly You, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise | إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ العَزِيْزُ الحَكِيْمُ |
| As We have sent to you a Messenger from among you | كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيْكُمْ رَسُوْلًا مِّنْكُمْ | |
| reciting to you our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book and the Wisdom | يَتْلُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَاتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيْكُمْ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمْ الكِتَابَ وَالحِكْمَةَ | |
| 2-151 | and teaching you that which you did not know | وَيُعَلِّمُكُمْ مَّا لَمْ تَكُوْنُوْا تَعْلَمُوْنَ |
| certainly Allah (SWT) bestowed a favor upon the believers when He raised among them | لَقَدْ مَنَّ اللهُ عَلَى المُؤْمِنِيْنَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيْهِمِ | |
| a messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses and purifying them | رَسُوْلًا مِّنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيْهِمْ | |
| 3-164 | and he teaches them the book and the wisdom although they were from before certainly in clear error | وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الكِتَابَ وَالحِكْمَةَ وَإِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِيْنٍ |
