Explanatory translation
5It is He who granted the human being the means and abilities to think, investigate, and learn, and who, by sending him prophets and scriptures, also teaches him what he did not know: the reasons for his creation, which he needs to know, and how he should live accordingly. From now on, He will reveal His word to you and equip you with the knowledge of divine revelation.
