الذين يتبعون الرسول النبي الامي الذي يجدونه مكتوبا عندهم في التوراة والانجيل يامرهم بالمعروف وينهاهم عن المنكر ويحل لهم الطيبات ويحرم عليهم الخبائث ويضع عنهم اصرهم والاغلال التي كانت عليهم فالذين امنوا به وعزروه ونصروه واتبعوا النور الذي انزل معه اولئك هم المفلحون

"Those who follow the Apostle, The unlettered Prophet, Whom they find mentioned In their own (Scriptures),— In the Law and the Gospel;— For he commands them What is just and forbids them What is evil; he allows Them as lawful what is good (And pure) and prohibits them From what is bad (and impure); He releases them From their heavy burdens And from the yokes That are upon them. So it is those who believe In him, honour him, Help him, and follow the Light Which is sent down with him,— It is they who will prosper."
