Ayah: 164

لَقَدۡ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ إِذۡ بَعَثَ فِيهِمۡ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ

164. Allāh has certainly conferred a great Favor upon the believers when He raised among them a messenger 'Muhammad' from among themselves, reciting to them His verses, purifying them, and teaching them the Book (Qur’an) and Wisdom. Though before this they were certainly in manifest error58.

58. Know that our first obligation is knowing that there is no true deity except Allāh. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. He is the singlemost without any second. He is the Creator of the heavens and earth and whatever is in them and between them and He is the Subtle, the Aware, and has power over all things. Then the second most important thing is to belief in the Prophet Muhammad and acknowledgment that Allāh sent him to all of humanity as a bearer of glad tidings, a warner, a caller (of people) to God by His permission and an illuminating torch of light.
