* Note 002:152. The Holy Qor-aan repeats its message for all occasions.   Verse 002:128 and 002:202 in 1st person format are prayers by q person for others in a group.   Verse 002:152 in 2nd person format is God Almighty’s address to the whole of the Mankind.   Verse 002:129 and 002:130 in 3rd person format are prayers for future generations, and 062:003 is a forecast about future believers who will enter Islam.   It uses many formats in different words covering various scenarios to reiterate its core message that remains constant and applies to all aspects of human life.  It urges seeking forgiveness and exhorts granting it, and the action يُزَكِّيۡ spells out interim stages in that process.   This action is often labeled Salvation

The verse 002:152 enumerates many functions which the Messengers perform.
1. They declare, explain, elaborate, inform, make aware, narrate, read, rehearse; repeat, share and communicate extensively regarding the revelations, messages and signs they brought.
2. They sanctify anyone who comes to them by cleansing, washing and getting rid of their sins. They help people grow by removing their spiritual impurities, shortcomings and weaknesses. They provide an environment conducive for others to multiply spiritually.
3. They coach, educate, instruct, tell, teach, train and tutor in the completed Book or Code (005:004) in which prior Scriptures had merged, and what others did not know before.
