“I will raise them up a prophet from among thy brethern like unto thee and will put my words in his mouth and shall speak unto them all that I command him.” This is an answer or a prophecy that compares with the prayer of Abraham—that God raised up a messenger from among them and taught him the wisdom and the book, because his people would not have knowledge of the book and were only guessing at its meaning.

They only guess at its meaning.”
― Elijah Muhammad, Message To The Blackman In America

“If the infinite had not desired man to be wise, he would not have bestowed upon him the faculty of knowing.”
