عِندَهُمۡ
فِي
ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةِ
وَٱلۡإِنجِيلِ
يَأۡمُرُهُم
بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ
وَيَنۡهَىٰهُمۡ
عَنِ
ٱلۡمُنكَرِ
وَيُحِلُّ
لَهُمُ
ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ
وَيُحَرِّمُ
عَلَيۡهِمُ
ٱلۡخَبَٰٓئِثَ
وَيَضَعُ
عَنۡهُمۡ
إِصۡرَهُمۡ
وَٱلۡأَغۡلَٰلَ
ٱلَّتِي
كَانَتۡ
عَلَيۡهِمۡۚ
فَٱلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ
بِهِۦ
وَعَزَّرُوهُ
وَنَصَرُوهُ
وَٱتَّبَعُواْ
ٱلنُّورَ
ٱلَّذِيٓ
أُنزِلَ
مَعَهُۥٓ
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ
هُمُ
ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ

Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write (i.e. Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) whom they find written with them in the Taurât (Torah) (Deut, xviii 15) and the Injeel (Gospel) (John xiv, 16)1, - he commands them for Al-Ma‘rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained); and forbids them from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds, and all that Islâm has forbidden); he allows them as lawful At-Tayyibât (i.e. all good and lawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods), and prohibits them as unlawful Al-Khabâ’ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons and foods), he releases them from their heavy burdens (of Allâh’s Covenant with the children of Israel), and from the fetters (bindings) that were upon them. So those who believe in him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), honour him, help him, and follow the light (the Qur’ân) which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful2.
