Al-A'raf 7:157 الذين يتبعون الرسول النبي الامي الذي يجدونه مكتوبا عندهم في التوراة والانجيل يامرهم بالمعروف وينهاهم عن المنكر ويحل لهم الطيبات ويحرم عليهم الخبايث ويضع عنهم اصرهم والاغلال التي كانت عليهم فالذين امنوا به وعزروه ونصروه واتبعوا النور الذي انزل معه اولايك هم المفلحون ١٥٧

ٱلَّذِينَ
يَتَّبِعُونَ
ٱلرَّسُولَ
ٱلنَّبِيَّ
ٱلۡأُمِّيَّ
ٱلَّذِي
يَجِدُونَهُۥ
مَكۡتُوبًا
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.
