The Holy Quran 3:164 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

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

Translation

Allaah has certainly favoured the Mu'mineen by sending in their midst a Rasool (Rasulullaah) from among them who recites to them His verses (of the Qur'aan), purifies them (from corrupt beliefs, Shirk, disobedience) and teaches them the Book (the valid meaning of the Qur'aan) and wisdom (the Sunnah). There is no doubt that these people were in open error before this (misguided before the coming of Rasulullaah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The sending of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is a favour from Allah: that is, [Allah] sent as Messenger a man of their own kind and people, with whom it is easy to sit and converse, whose language is easy to understand and from whom it is easy to draw every kind of light and blessing.
