﴿ وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ مُوسَىٰٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخْلَصًۭا وَكَانَ رَسُولًۭا نَّبِيًّۭا ﴾
“AND CALL to mind, through this divine writ, Moses. Behold, he was a chosen one, and was an apostle [of God], a prophet.”
(And make mention in the Scripture of Moses) the event of Moses. (Lo! he was chosen) he was protected from disbelief, idolatry and indecency; it is also said that this means according to a different variant: he was chosen for worship and for the proclamation of Allah's divine Oneness, (and he was a messenger (of Allah)) to the Children of Israel, (a prophet) informing on behalf of Allah, Exalted is He.
