وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ سُنَنَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ(And to show you the ways of those before you,) meaning their righteous ways and how to adhere to the commandments that He likes and is pleased with.وَيَتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْ(and accept your repentance) from sin and error,وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ(and Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise.) in His commands, decrees, actions and statements.
