اَلَّذ۪ينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ الرَّسُولَ النَّبِيَّ الْاُمِّيَّ الَّذ۪ي يَجِدُونَهُ مَكْتُوبًا عِنْدَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرٰيةِ وَالْاِنْج۪يلِۘ يَاْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهٰيهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَٓائِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ اِصْرَهُمْ وَالْاَغْلَالَ الَّت۪ي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْۜ فَالَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا بِه۪ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذ۪ٓي اُنْزِلَ مَعَهُٓۙ اُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ۟ ١٥٧

English Translation
157They are those who follow the messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel they have. He (the messenger) tells them what is good and beautiful and what is evil and ugly; he conveys to them the commands of Allah, who makes lawful for them what is clean and beneficial and forbids them what is foul and harmful; he removes the rulings and obligations that constrained them and weighed heavily on them, and they see that what had been forbidden to them has been lifted. Those who believe and trust in him, honor him, help him, and follow the light/the Quran sent down to him—they are the ones who will attain salvation.
