42:52

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَوْحَیْنَٓا اِلَیْكَ رُوحًا مِنْ اَمْرِنَاؕ مَا كُنْتَ تَدْرٖی مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلَا الْاٖیمَانُ وَلٰكِنْ جَعَلْنَاهُ نُورًا نَهْدٖی بِهٖ مَنْ نَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَاؕ وَاِنَّكَ لَتَهْدٖٓی اِلٰى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقٖیمٍۙ

Wakathalika awhayna ilayka roohan min amrina ma kunta tadree ma alkitabu wala aleemanu walakin jaAAalnahu nooran nahdee bihi man nashao min AAibadina wainnaka latahdee ila siratin mustaqeemin

Translations

And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration of Our command. You did not know what is the Book or [what is] faith, but We have made it a light by which We guide whom We will of Our servants. And indeed, [O Muhammad], you guide to a straight path

Saheeh International

And thus have We inspired in thee (Muhammad) a Spirit of Our command. Thou knewest not what the Scripture was, nor what the Faith. But We have made it a light whereby We guide whom We will of Our bondmen. And lo! thou verily dost guide unto a right path
