(Even as We have sent unto you a Messenger) remember Me as I have sent a Messenger (from among you) from your own lineage, (who reciteth unto you Our revelations) i.e. the Qur'an: its commands and prohibitions (and causeth you to grow) cleanses you of sin through divine Oneness, the poor-due, and alms, (and teacheth you the Scripture) the Qur'an (and wisdom) the lawful and the prohibited, (and teacheth you) of legal rulings, legal punishments and stories of bygone nations (that which ye knew not) before the revelation of the Qur'an and the advent of Muhammad (pbuh).
