Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Baqarah 2:151

Word by word

كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُمْ رَسُولًا مِّنكُمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَـٰتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيكُمْ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُم مَّا لَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْلَمُونَ

Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves reciting to you Our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book and wisdom and teaching you that which you did not know.

كما أنعمنا عليكم باستقبال الكعبة أرسلنا فيكم رسولا منكم يتلو عليكم الآيات المبينة للحق من الباطل، ويطهركم من دنس الشرك وسوء الأخلاق، ويعلمكم الكتاب والسنة وأحكام الشريعة، ويعلمكم من أخبار الأنبياء، وقصص الأمم السابقة ما كنتم تجهلونه.
