Certainly did Allāh confer [great] favor upon the believers when He sent among them a Messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom,1 although they had been before in manifest error.
Footnotes
1 The Prophet's sunnah.
Truly God was gracious to the believers when He sent to them a messenger from among their own, that is to say, an Arab like them, not an angel or a non-Arab, so that they can understand what he says and feel honoured thereby, to recite to them His verses, Al-Qur'an, and to purify them, to cleanse them of sins, and to teach them the Book, Al-Qur'an, wisdom, the Sunna, though (in, is softened [in place of inna], that is, innahum, 'though they.') before, that is, before he was sent, they were in clear error.
