   It is He who has sent among the unlettered [Arabs] a Messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom [i.e., the sunnah] - although they were before in clear error -

3. 62:3

   And [to] others of them who have not yet joined them. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

   That is the bounty of Allāh, which He gives to whom He wills, and Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.

5. 62:5

   The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allāh. And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
