Tafsir

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

Ali 'Imran 3:164

Word by word

لَقَدْ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ بَعَثَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ

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, although they had been before in manifest error.

لقد أنعم الله على المؤمنين من العرب; إذ بعث فيهم رسولا من أنفسهم، يتلو عليهم آيات القرآن، ويطهرهم من الشرك والأخلاق الفاسدة، ويعلمهم القرآن والسنة، وإن كانوا من قبل هذا الرسول لفي غيٍّ وجهل ظاهر.
