just as Wehave sent among you a Messenger of your own to recite Our revelations to you, purify you and teach you the Scripture, wisdom, and [other] things you did not know.
كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا فِيكُمْ رَسُولًا مِنْكُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيكُمْ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمْ مَا لَمْ تَكُونُوا تَعْلَمُونَ
kamā arsalnā fīkum rasūlan minkum yatlū ʿalaykum āyātinā wayuzakkīkum wayuʿallimukumu l-kitāba wal-ḥik'mata wayuʿallimukum mā lam takūnū taʿlamūna
