A
*He said: ‘Oh my dear son, do not relate your dream to your brothers, lest they should devise a plan against you. Surely shaytaan is an open enemy for mankind’.

Q
وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ ءَالِ يَعْقُوبَ كَمَآ أَتَمَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَبَوَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ ﴿٦﴾
A
And it will be in this way, that your Lord will choose you and teach you the correct interpretation of the events and He will perfect His bounty upon you and upon the family of Ya’qoob (a.s) as He has perfected it earlier on your forefathers, Ibrahim (a.s) and Ishaaq (a.s). Surely your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

A
(Remember it happened) when they said: ‘Yusuf (a.s) and his brother are dearer to our father than we are, while we are a whole group. Indeed our father is in a clear error’.

اقْتُلُوا يُوسُفَ أَوِ اطْرَحُوهُ أَرْضًا يَخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ أَبِيكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا مِن بَعْدِهِ قَوْمًا صَالِحِينَ ﴿٩﴾
A
(Let us) kill Yusuf (a.s) or throw him at some place on The Earth and thus your father’s full attention will be devoted for you alone, and after doing that, you may become a righteous people.
10
Q
قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ لَا تَقْتُلُوا يُوسُفَ وَأَلْقُوهُ فِي غَيَابَتِ الْجُبِّ يَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ السَّيَّارَةِ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ ﴿١٠﴾
A
One of them said: ‘Do not kill Yusuf (a.s), rather cast him into the bottom of the pit so that some wayfarers may pick him up, if you are going to do something anyway’.

Q
قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْمَنَّا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَنَاصِحُونَ ﴿١١﴾
A
They said: ‘Oh our father, why do you not trust us about Yusuf (a.s) whilst we are his well wishers indeed?
12
Q
أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا يَرْتَعْ وَيَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ﴿١٢﴾
A
Send him with us tomorrow that he may eat and play and of course we will remain as guards for him.
13
Q
قَالَ إِنِّي لَيَحْزُنُنِي أَن تَذْهَبُوا بِهِ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَأَنتُمْ عَنْهُ غَافِلُونَ ﴿١٣﴾
A
He said: ‘It makes me sad that you should take him with you, and I fear that some wolf may eat him up when you are heedless of him’.
14
Q
قَالُوا لَئِنْ أَكَلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّا إِذًا لَّخَاسِرُونَ ﴿١٤﴾
A
They said: ‘If a wolf eats him up while we are a whole group, we are then losers indeed’.
15
Q
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا بِهِ وَأَجْمَعُوا أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِي غَيَابَتِ الْجُبِّ ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿١٥﴾
A
So when they went away with him and were determined to put him in the bottom of a pit (they did accordingly) and We revealed to him (Yusuf (a.s)): ‘You will (one day) remind them of this matter of theirs and they will not recognise (you)’.
16
Q
وَجَاءُوا أَبَاهُمْ عِشَاءً يَبْكُونَ ﴿١٦﴾

Q
قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَاعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ الذِّئْبُ ۖ وَمَا أَنتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَادِقِينَ ﴿١٧﴾
A
They said: ‘Oh our father, indeed we went racing (with eachother) and we left Yusuf (a.s) with our belongings, so the wolf ate him up. And you will never believe, howsoever truthful we may be’.
18
Q
وَجَاءُوا عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ ۚ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا ۖ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ ۖ وَاللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ ﴿١٨﴾
A
And they came with fake blood on his shirt. He (Ya’qoob (a.s)) said: ‘Rather your inner desires have tempted you to do something. So patience is best. And it is Allah (s.w.t) whose help is sought against what you describe’.
19
Q
وَجَاءَتْ سَيَّارَةٌ فَأَرْسَلُوا وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَىٰ دَلْوَهُ ۖ قَالَ يَا بُشْرَىٰ هَٰذَا غُلَامٌ ۚ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَاعَةً ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿١٩﴾
A
And some wayfarers came (near the pit in which Yusuf (a.s) was thrown) so they sent their water drawer (to bring water for them). So he let down his bucket. He said: ‘What a good news, here is a boy!’ And they kept him hidden as a merchandise while Allah (s.w.t) was aware of what they were doing.
20
Q
وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍ بَخْسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَكَانُوا فِيهِ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِينَ ﴿٢٠﴾
A
And they sold him for a small price, for a few silver coins. And they had not much interest in him.
21
Q
وَقَالَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ عَسَىٰ أَن يَنفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٢١﴾
A
And the one who bought him from Egypt said to his wife: ‘Make his stay graceful. Perhaps he may be useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. And thus We established Yusuf (a.s) in the land, so that We should teach him the interpretation of the events. And Allah (s.w.t) is Powerful in (enforcing) His command, however most of the people do not know.
22
Q
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ آتَيْنَاهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٢٢﴾
A
And when he reached the prime of his age, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. And this is how We reward those who are good in their deeds.
23
Q
وَرَاوَدَتْهُ الَّتِي هُوَ فِي بَيْتِهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِ وَغَلَّقَتِ الْأَبْوَابَ وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ ۚ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ رَبِّي أَحْسَنَ مَثْوَايَ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾
A
And she, in whose house he was, seduced him towards herself and closed the doors and said: ‘Come on’. He said: ‘I seek refuge with Allah (s.w.t). Surely he (your husband) is my master. He has given me a good abode. Indeed the wrongdoers do not prosper’.
24
Q
وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِ ۖ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَا أَن رَّأَىٰ بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوءَ وَالْفَحْشَاءَ ۚ إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿٢٤﴾
A
And she certainly desired him and he might have desired her, had he not seen the proof from his Lord. Thus We did, to turn evil and lust away from him. Indeed he was one of Our chosen servants.
25
وَاسْتَبَقَا الْبَابَ وَقَدَّتْ قَمِيصَهُ مِن دُبُرٍ وَأَلْفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَى الْبَابِ ۚ قَالَتْ مَا جَزَاءُ مَنْ أَرَادَ بِأَهْلِكَ سُوءًا إِلَّا أَن يُسْجَنَ أَوْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿٢٥﴾
They raced towards the door and she ripped his shirt from behind and they found her master by the door. She said: 'What could be the punishment of him who intended evil with your wife, except that he be imprisoned or (given) a painful punishment?'
26
قَالَ هِيَ رَاوَدَتْنِي عَن نَّفْسِي ۚ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا إِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُ قُدَّ مِن قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ ﴿٢٦﴾
He (Yusuf (a.s)) said: 'It was her who tried to seduce me'. And a witness from her family observed that if his shirt is ripped from the front side, then she is truthful and he is a liar'.
27
وَإِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿٢٧﴾
*And if his shirt was ripped from behind, then she is telling a lie and he is truthful.
28
فَلَمَّا رَأَىٰ قَمِيصَهُ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مِن كَيْدِكُنَّ ۖ إِنَّ كَيْدَكُنَّ عَظِيمٌ ﴿٢٨﴾
So when he (her husband) saw his shirt ripped from behind, he said: 'This is certainly your trickery, Oh women. Great is the trickery of you women indeed'.
29
يُوسُفُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَٰذَا ۚ وَاسْتَغْفِرِي لِذَنبِكِ ۖ إِنَّكِ كُنتِ مِنَ الْخَاطِئِينَ ﴿٢٩﴾
Oh Yusuf (a.s) ignore this matter and you (Oh woman) seek forgiveness for your sin, for you were guilty in fact.
30
۞ وَقَالَ نِسْوَةٌ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ امْرَأَتُ الْعَزِيزِ تُرَاوِدُ فَتَاهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِ ۖ قَدْ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّا ۖ إِنَّا لَنَرَاهَا فِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٣٠﴾
And women in the city said: 'The wife of the minister is seducing her youthful slave. His love has entered the depth of her heart. Surely we see her in an open error'.
31
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَأً وَآتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّينًا وَقَالَتِ اخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُ أَكْبَرْنَهُ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلَّهِ مَا هَٰذَا بَشَرًا إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ ﴿٣١﴾
So when she heard of their taunting comments, she extended an invitation to them and arranged for them a comfortable place to sit and dine and gave everyone a knife and said (to Yusuf (a.s)): 'Come out to them'. So when they saw him, they found him great and they (were so stunned) that they cut their hands. And they said: Oh God! He is not a human being. He is nothing but a noble angel'.
32
قَالَتْ فَذَٰلِكُنَّ الَّذِي لُمْتُنَّنِي فِيهِ ۖ وَلَقَدْ رَاوَدتُّهُ عَن نَّفْسِهِ فَاسْتَعْصَمَ ۖ وَلَئِن لَّمْ يَفْعَلْ مَا آمُرُهُ لَيُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُونًا مِّنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ ﴿٣٢﴾
She said: 'This is the one about whom you reproached me. Yes, I seduced him but he abstained. And should he not follow my command, he shall be imprisoned and will be disgraced'.
33
قَالَ رَبِّ السِّجْنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا يَدْعُونَنِي إِلَيْهِ ۖ وَإِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُنَّ أَصْبُ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَكُن مِّنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ ﴿٣٣﴾
He (Yusuf (a.s)) said: 'My Lord, the prison is dearer to me than what these women invite me to do. If You do not turn their plan away from me, I shall get inclined towards them, and shall be from among the ignorant'.
34
فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ كَيْدَهُنَّ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿٣٤﴾
So his Lord accepted his prayer, and averted him from their trickery. Surely He is The All-Hearing, The All-Knowing.
35
ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُم مِّن بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوُا الْآيَاتِ لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ ﴿٣٥﴾
Later on, even after seeing the clear signs (of his innocence), they deemed it proper to imprison him for some time.
36
وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجْنَ فَتَيَانِ ۖ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنِّي أَرَانِي أَعْصِرُ خَمْرًا ۖ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنِّي أَرَانِي أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي خُبْزًا تَأْكُلُ الطَّيْرُ مِنْهُ ۖ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِ ۖ إِنَّا نَرَاكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٣٦﴾
And two men entered the prison with him. One of them said: 'I have seen myself (in a dream) pressing wine'. And the other said: 'I saw myself carrying bread on my head of which the birds were eating. Let us know its interpretation. We see you as a man of good deeds'.
37
قَالَ لَا يَأْتِيكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقَانِهِ إِلَّا نَبَّأْتُكُمَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمَا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِي رَبِّي ۚ إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَهُم بِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ ﴿٣٧﴾
He said: 'No food provided for you shall come to you but I can give you its interpretation before it comes to you. This is the knowledge my Lord has given me. I have abandoned the way of a people who do not believe in Allah (s.w.t) and who are deniers of The Hereafter'.
38
وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ آبَائِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۚ مَا كَانَ لَنَا أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِاللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٣٨﴾
*And I have followed the way of my fathers, Ibrahim (a.s), Ishaaq (a.s) and Ya'qoob (a.s). And it is not (appropriate) that we associate any partners with Allah (s.w.t). All this is a part of the favour Allah (s.w.t) has bestowed upon us and upon the people, however most of the people are not grateful.
39
يَا صَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ أَأَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ ﴿٣٩﴾
Oh my 2 fellow companions, are different gods better or Allah (s.w.t), The One, The All-Dominant?
40
مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ ۚ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤٠﴾
Whatever you worship, other than Him are nothing but names you have coined, you and your fathers. Allah (s.w.t) has sent down no authority for them. Sovereignty belongs to none but Allah (s.w.t). He has ordained that you should not worship anyone but Him. This is the (only) right path, but most of the people do not know.
41
يَا صَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ أَمَّا أَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسْقِي رَبَّهُ خَمْرًا ۖ وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَيُصْلَبُ فَتَأْكُلُ الطَّيْرُ مِن رَّأْسِهِ ۚ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ ﴿٤١﴾
*Oh my 2 fellow companions, one of you will serve wine to his master, while the other will be crucified and birds will eat from his head. Destined is the matter you are asking about.'.
42
وَقَالَ لِلَّذِي ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا اذْكُرْنِي عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِ فَلَبِثَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ ﴿٤٢﴾
And he (Yusuf (a.s)) said to the one whom he believed likely to be released out of the two: 'Tell your master about me'. Then shaytan made him forget to tell his master. So he (Yusuf (a.s)) remained in the prison for several years.
43
وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ إِنِّي أَرَىٰ سَبْعَ بَقَرَاتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعَ سُنبُلَاتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَاتٍ ۖ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلَأُ أَفْتُونِي فِي رُؤْيَايَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّؤْيَا تَعْبُرُونَ ﴿٤٣﴾
And (one day) the king said (to his courtiers): 'I have seen (in a dream) 7 fat cows being eaten by 7 lean ones. And 7 ears of grain which are green and (7) others which are dry. Oh people, tell me about my dream, if you can interpret dreams'.
44
قَالُوا أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلَامٍ ۖ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ الْأَحْلَامِ بِعَالِمِينَ ﴿٤٤﴾
They said: '(It seems to be) a mishmash of dreams and we do not know the interpretation of dreams'.
45
وَقَالَ الَّذِي نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَادَّكَرَ بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ أَنَا أُنَبِّئُكُم بِتَأْوِيلِهِ فَأَرْسِلُونِ ﴿٤٥﴾
And the one who was released (from the prison) out of the two recalled after a long time: 'I shall tell you its interpretation. Just send me (to Yusuf (a.s))'.
46
يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُ أَفْتِنَا فِي سَبْعِ بَقَرَاتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعِ سُنبُلَاتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَاتٍ لَّعَلِّي أَرْجِعُ إِلَى النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤٦﴾
Yusuf (a.s), oh the truthful one, tell us about 7 fat cows eaten by 7 lean ones and 7 ears of grain which are green and (7) others which are dry, so that I may go back to the people and they may know (the interpretation of the dream).
47
قَالَ تَزْرَعُونَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ دَأَبًا فَمَا حَصَدتُّمْ فَذَرُوهُ فِي سُنبُلِهِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿٤٧﴾
He (Yusuf (a.s.)) said: 'You will grow crops for 7 years consecutively. So what you have harvested, leave it in its ear, except a little which you will eat'.
48
ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ ﴿٤٨﴾
The 7 hard years shall come after that, which shall eat up what you have stored for them, except a little which you preserve.
49
ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَفِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ ﴿٤٩﴾
Then there shall come after that, a year in which the people will have rains and in which they will extract juices.
50
وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ الرَّسُولُ قَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَاسْأَلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ اللَّاتِي قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌ ﴿٥٠﴾
And (when the person went back and told the king about the interpretation of the dream) the king said: 'Bring him to me'. So, when the messenger came to Yusuf (a.s), he said: 'Go back to your master and ask him what is the case of the women who cut their hands? Surely my Lord knows well their plan'.
51
قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ إِذْ رَاوَدتُّنَّ يُوسُفَ عَن نَّفْسِهِ ۚ قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِن سُوءٍ ۚ قَالَتِ امْرَأَتُ الْعَزِيزِ الْآنَ حَصْحَصَ الْحَقُّ أَنَا رَاوَدتُّهُ عَن نَّفْسِهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿٥١﴾
He (the king) said: 'What was your case, (oh women), when you seduced Yusuf (a.s)?'. They said: 'Oh God, we know of no evil in him'. The wife of the minister said: 'Now the truth has come to light. I did seduce him and he is surely truthful'.
52
ذَٰلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَخُنْهُ بِالْغَيْبِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي كَيْدَ الْخَائِنِينَ ﴿٥٢﴾
That was because he (the governer) may know that I did not betray him in his absence and that Allah (s.w.t) does not guide the plan of the betrayers.
53
۞ وَمَا أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِي ۚ إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّي ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٥٣﴾
And I do not absolve my innerself of blame. Surely man's innerself often incites to evil unless my Lord shows mercy. Certainly my Lord is Most Forgiving, Very Merciful.
54
وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِي ۖ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌ ﴿٥٤﴾
The king said: 'Bring him to me and I shall employ him purely for myself'. So when he (the king) employed him, he said (to Yusuf (a.s)): 'Today you are with us, well-placed, fully trusted'.
55
قَالَ اجْعَلْنِي عَلَىٰ خَزَائِنِ الْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنِّي حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿٥٥﴾
He (Yusuf (a.s)) said: 'Appoint me to (supervise) the treasures of the land. I am indeed a knowledgeable keeper'.
56
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ ۚ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَاءُ ۖ وَلَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٥٦﴾
And thus We gave Yusuf (a.s) (power) in the land. He could settle in it wherever he wished. We extend Our mercy to whomsoever We will, and We do not let the reward of the righteous people go to waste.
57
وَلَأَجْرُ الْآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ ﴿٥٧﴾
And the reward of The Hereafter is surely better for those who believe and constantly observe taqwa.
58
وَجَاءَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ ﴿٥٨﴾
*And the brothers of Yusuf (a.s) came and they appeared before him and he recognised them while they did not recognise him.
59
وَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِأَخٍ لَّكُم مِّنْ أَبِيكُمْ ۚ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي أُوفِي الْكَيْلَ وَأَنَا خَيْرُ الْمُنزِلِينَ ﴿٥٩﴾
When he equipped them with their provisions, he said: 'Bring to me your other brother from your father's side. Do you not see that I give full measure and I extend the best hospitality?
60
فَإِن لَّمْ تَأْتُونِي بِهِ فَلَا كَيْلَ لَكُمْ عِندِي وَلَا تَقْرَبُونِ ﴿٦٠﴾
(Still) if you do not bring him to me, then you deserve no (further) measure from me, nor shall you approach me anymore.
61
قَالُوا سَنُرَاوِدُ عَنْهُ أَبَاهُ وَإِنَّا لَفَاعِلُونَ ﴿٦١﴾
They said: 'We shall persuade our father regarding him and we will certainly do it'.
62
وَقَالَ لِفِتْيَانِهِ اجْعَلُوا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ فِي رِحَالِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَهَا إِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾
And he (Yusuf (a.s)) said to his boys: 'Put their goods in their camel packs. Perhaps they will recognise it when they go back to their family. Perhaps they will come again'.
63
فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا إِلَىٰ أَبِيهِمْ قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا الْكَيْلُ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا أَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ﴿٦٣﴾
So when they returned to their father, they said: 'Father the (required) measure (of grain) has been withheld from us, therefore, send our brother with us, so that we may receive our full measure. And of course we are his guardians'.
64
قَالَ هَلْ آمَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَمَا أَمِنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰ أَخِيهِ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ فَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَافِظًا ۖ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ﴿٦٤﴾
And he (Ya'qoob (a.s)) said: 'Shall I trust you about him as I trusted you earlier about his brother? So Allah (s.w.t) is The Best Guardian And He is The Most Merciful of the merciful'.
65
وَلَمَّا فَتَحُوا مَتَاعَهُمْ وَجَدُوا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِي ۖ هَٰذِهِ بِضَاعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ إِلَيْنَا ۖ وَنَمِيرُ أَهْلَنَا وَنَحْفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنَزْدَادُ كَيْلَ بَعِيرٍ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ كَيْلٌ يَسِيرٌ ﴿٦٥﴾
When they opened their baggage, they found their goods given back to them. They said: 'Our father, what else should we want? Here is our goods given back to us, and we shall bring food to our family, protect our brother and add the measure of a camel more. That is an easy measure'.
66
قَالَ لَنْ أُرْسِلَهُ مَعَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ تُؤْتُونِ مَوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ لَتَأْتُنَّنِي بِهِ إِلَّا أَن يُحَاطَ بِكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا آتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ ﴿٦٦﴾
He (Ya'qoob (a.s)) said: 'I shall never send him with you until you give me a pledge in the name of Allah (s.w.t) that you will definitely bring him back to me unless you are overpowered (by circumstances)'. So when they gave him the pledge, he said: 'Allah (s.w.t) is watchful over what we say'.
67
وَقَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ لَا تَدْخُلُوا مِن بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ وَادْخُلُوا مِنْ أَبْوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍ ۖ وَمَا أُغْنِي عَنكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۖ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَعَلَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ﴿٦٧﴾
*And he said: 'Oh my sons do not enter (the city) all of you from the same gate, rather enter from different gates. And I cannot help you in any way against (the will of) Allah (s.w.t). Sovereignty belongs to none but Allah (s.w.t). In Him I place my trust, and all those who trust should trust in Him alone'.
68
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغْنِي عَنْهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ إِلَّا حَاجَةً فِي نَفْسِ يَعْقُوبَ قَضَاهَا ۚ وَإِنَّهُ لَذُو عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٦٨﴾
And when they entered (the city) in the manner their father had advised them. He could not help them in any way against (the will of) Allah (s.w.t). But it was just an urge in the heart of Ya'qoob (a.s) which he satisfied. He was a man of knowledge because We taught him, but most of the people do not know.
69
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ آوَىٰ إِلَيْهِ أَخَاهُ ۖ قَالَ إِنِّي أَنَا أَخُوكَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٦٩﴾
And when they came to Yusuf (a.s), he lodged his brother (Binyamin (a.s)) with himself. He said: 'Look, I am your brother! So do not grieve for what they have been doing'.
70
فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ السِّقَايَةَ فِي رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا الْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَارِقُونَ ﴿٧٠﴾
Later when he equipped them with their provisions, he placed the bowl in the camel-pack of his brother. Then an announcer shouted: 'Oh people of the caravan, you are thieves'.
71
قَالُوا وَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَيْهِم مَّاذَا تَفْقِدُونَ ﴿٧١﴾
Turning towards them, they said: 'What are you missing?'.
72
قَالُوا نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ الْمَلِكِ وَلِمَن جَاءَ بِهِ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍ وَأَنَا بِهِ زَعِيمٌ ﴿٧٢﴾
They said: 'We are missing the measuring bowl of the king, and whoever brings it back shall deserve a camel load and I stand surety for it'.
73
قَالُوا تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا كُنَّا سَارِقِينَ ﴿٧٣﴾
They said: 'We swear by Allah (s.w.t), you know that we did not come to make mischief in the land, nor have we ever been thieves'.
74
قَالُوا فَمَا جَزَاؤُهُ إِن كُنتُمْ كَاذِبِينَ ﴿٧٤﴾
*They said: 'What is the punishment if you are liars?'
75
قَالُوا جَزَاؤُهُ مَن وُجِدَ فِي رَحْلِهِ فَهُوَ جَزَاؤُهُ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿٧٥﴾
They said: 'Its punishment. The one in whose saddlebag it is found shall himself be the punishment. This is how we punish the wrongdoers'.
76
فَبَدَأَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَاءِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِن وِعَاءِ أَخِيهِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كِدْنَا لِيُوسُفَ ۖ مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِي دِينِ الْمَلِكِ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَّن نَّشَاءُ ۗ وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِي عِلْمٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿٧٦﴾
So he started with their bags before (searching) the bag of his brother, then recovered it from the bag of his brother. This is how We planned for Yusuf (a.s). He had no right to take his brother according to the law of the king, unless Allah (s.w.t) willed. So We elevate in ranks whomsoever We will. Above every man of knowledge, there is someone more knowledgeable.
77
۞ قَالُوا إِن يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخٌ لَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ أَنتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا ۖ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ ﴿٧٧﴾
They said: 'If he commits theft (there is nothing suprising because) his other brother had committed theft earlier'. Yusuf (a.s) kept it (his reaction) to himself and did not reveal it to them. He said (in his heart): 'You are even worse in position. Allah (s.w.t) knows best of what you allege'.
78
قَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الْعَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُ أَبًا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا فَخُذْ أَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهُ ۖ إِنَّا نَرَاكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٧٨﴾
They said: 'Oh minister, he has a father, a very old man. So take one of us in his place. We see you as a generous man'.
79
قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَن نَّأْخُذَ إِلَّا مَن وَجَدْنَا مَتَاعَنَا عِندَهُ إِنَّا إِذًا لَّظَالِمُونَ ﴿٧٩﴾
He said: 'We seek Allah (s.w.t)'s refuge from keeping anyone other than him with whom we have found our thing. Otherwise, we shall be unjust',
80
فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْأَسُوا مِنْهُ خَلَصُوا نَجِيًّا ۖ قَالَ كَبِيرُهُمْ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُم مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمْ فِي يُوسُفَ ۖ فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ الْأَرْضَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْذَنَ لِي أَبِي أَوْ يَحْكُمَ اللَّهُ لِي ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ ﴿٨٠﴾
So when they lost hope in him, they went aside for consultation. The oldest of them said: 'Do you not know that our father has taken pledge from you in the name of Allah (s.w.t), while you have defaulted earlier in the case of Yusuf (a.s). So I shall never leave this land unless my father permits me or Allah (s.w.t) decides about me. He is the best of all judges'.
81
ارْجِعُوا إِلَىٰ أَبِيكُمْ فَقُولُوا يَا أَبَانَا إِنَّ ابْنَكَ سَرَقَ وَمَا شَهِدْنَا إِلَّا بِمَا عَلِمْنَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِلْغَيْبِ حَافِظِينَ ﴿٨١﴾
Go back to your father and say: 'Our father, your son has committed theft and we do not testify except what we know. And we could not guard against the unseen'.
82
وَاسْأَلِ الْقَرْيَةَ الَّتِي كُنَّا فِيهَا وَالْعِيرَ الَّتِي أَقْبَلْنَا فِيهَا ۖ وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ ﴿٨٢﴾
Ask (the people of) the town in which we have been and the caravan with which we have come and undoubtedly we are truthful.
83
قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا ۖ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ ۖ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَأْتِيَنِي بِهِمْ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿٨٣﴾
He (Ya'qoob (a.s)) said: 'Rather your inner desires have seduced you to something. So patience is best. Hopefully, Allah (s.w.t) may bring them all together. Surely He is The All-Knowing, The All-Wise'.
84
وَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا أَسَفَىٰ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَابْيَضَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ ﴿٨٤﴾
He turned away from them and said: 'How sad I am about Yusuf (a.s)'. And his eyes turned white with sorrow and he was suppressing (his anger and grief).
85
قَالُوا تَاللَّهِ تَفْتَأُ تَذْكُرُ يُوسُفَ حَتَّىٰ تَكُونَ حَرَضًا أَوْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الْهَالِكِينَ ﴿٨٥﴾
They said: 'By Allah (s.w.t) you will not stop remembering Yusuf (a.s) until you collapse or perish'.
86
قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٨٦﴾
He said: 'I do not complain of my anguish and sorrow to anyone but Allah (s.w.t) and I know from Allah (s.w.t) what you do not know',
87
يَا بَنِيَّ اذْهَبُوا فَتَحَسَّسُوا مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ ﴿٨٧﴾
Oh my sons, go and search for Yusuf (a.s) and his brother and do not lose hope in the mercy of Allah (s.w.t). In fact, only the infidels lose hope in Allah (s.w.t)'s mercy.
88
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الْعَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهْلَنَا الضُّرُّ وَجِئْنَا بِبِضَاعَةٍ مُّزْجَاةٍ فَأَوْفِ لَنَا الْكَيْلَ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْنَا ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْزِي الْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ ﴿٨٨﴾
And when they came to him (Yusuf (a.s)) they said: 'Minister, we and our family are struck by distress and we have brought some of our goods of very little worth. So give us full measure (of grain) and be charitable to us. Surely Allah (s.w.t) rewards the charitable'.
89
قَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا فَعَلْتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذْ أَنتُمْ جَاهِلُونَ ﴿٨٩﴾
He said: 'Do you know what you did to Yusuf (a.s) and his brother when you were ignorant?'.
90
قَالُوا أَإِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ يُوسُفُ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا يُوسُفُ وَهَٰذَا أَخِي ۖ قَدْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا ۖ إِنَّهُ مَن يَتَّقِ وَيَصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿٩٠﴾
The said: 'Is it that you are in fact Yusuf (a.s)?'. He said: 'I am Yusuf (a.s) and this is my brother. Allah (s.w.t) has been very kind to us. Surely whoever fears Allah (s.w.t) and observes patience, Allah (s.w.t) does not let the reward of such people go to waste'.
91
قَالُوا تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ آثَرَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِن كُنَّا لَخَاطِئِينَ ﴿٩١﴾
They said: 'We swear by Allah (s.w.t), indeed Allah (s.w.t) has given preference to you over us and we were guilty in fact'.
92
قَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ ۖ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ﴿٩٢﴾
He said: 'No reproach upon you today. May Allah (s.w.t) forgive you and He is The Most Merciful of all the merciful'.
93
اذْهَبُوا بِقَمِيصِي هَٰذَا فَأَلْقُوهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِ أَبِي يَأْتِ بَصِيرًا وَأْتُونِي بِأَهْلِكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿٩٣﴾
Go with this shirt of mine and put it over the face of my father and he will turn into a sighted man. And bring to me all your family.
94
وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ الْعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ ۖ لَوْلَا أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ ﴿٩٤﴾
And when the caravan set out (for Egypt), their father (Ya'qoob (a.s)) said (in Kinaan): 'I sense the fragrance of Yusuf (a.s) if you do not take me to be confused'.
95
قَالُوا تَاللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَفِي ضَلَالِكَ الْقَدِيمِ ﴿٩٥﴾
They said: 'By Allah (s.w.t) you are (still) in your old error'.
96
فَلَمَّا أَن جَاءَ الْبَشِيرُ أَلْقَاهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ فَارْتَدَّ بَصِيرًا ۖ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٩٦﴾
So when the man came with good news, he put it (the shirt) on his face and he turned into a sighted man. He (Ya'qoob (a.s)) said: 'Did I not tell you that I know from Allah (s.w.t) what you do not know?'
97
قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا اسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا خَاطِئِينَ ﴿٩٧﴾
They said: 'Oh our father, pray to Allah (s.w.t) to forgive our sins. Surely we have been guilty'.
98
قَالَ سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّي ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿٩٨﴾
He said: 'I shall pray to my Lord to forgive you. Surely He is The Most Forgiving, The Very Merciful'.
99
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ آوَىٰ إِلَيْهِ أَبَوَيْهِ وَقَالَ ادْخُلُوا مِصْرَ إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ آمِنِينَ ﴿٩٩﴾
Later when they came to Yusuf (a.s), he placed his parents near himself and said: 'Enter Egypt, if Allah (s.w.t) wills, in peace'.
100
وَرَفَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَخَرُّوا لَهُ سُجَّدًا ۖ وَقَالَ يَا أَبَتِ هَٰذَا تَأْوِيلُ رُؤْيَايَ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّي حَقًّا ۖ وَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ بِي إِذْ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنَ السِّجْنِ وَجَاءَ بِكُم مِّنَ الْبَدْوِ مِن بَعْدِ أَن نَّزَغَ الشَّيْطَانُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ إِخْوَتِي ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي لَطِيفٌ لِّمَا يَشَاءُ ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿١٠٠﴾
*And he raised his parents up on the throne and they all fell before him in prostration. He said: 'My father, here is the fulfillment of my early dream'. My Lord has made it come true. He favoured me when he released me from the prison and brought you from the countryside after shaytan caused a rift between me and my brothers. Surely my Lord does what He wills in a subtle way. Surely He is The All-Knowing, The All-Wise'.
101
۞ رَبِّ قَدْ آتَيْتَنِي مِنَ الْمُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِي مِن تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ ۚ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَنتَ وَلِيِّي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۖ تَوَفَّنِي مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ ﴿١٠١﴾
My Lord, You have given me power to rule and the knowledge of interpreting events. Oh Creator of The Heavens and The Earth, You are my Guardian in this world and The Hereafter. Make me die as a muslim and make me join the righteous'.
102
ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَ ﴿١٠٢﴾
*This is a part of the reports of the unseen We reveal to you (Oh prophet (s.a.w)). You were not with them when they determined their object, and when they were planning devices.
103
وَمَا أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٠٣﴾
Most of the people are not going to believe despite your strong desire for it.
104
وَمَا تَسْأَلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿١٠٤﴾
And you do not demand from them any reward against it. It is nothing but a reminder for all the (people of the) worlds.
105
وَكَأَيِّن مِّنْ آيَةٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضُونَ ﴿١٠٥﴾
How many a sign there is in The Heavens and The Earth which they pass by and they are heedless to them.
106
وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ ﴿١٠٦﴾
And most of them do not believe in Allah (s.w.t) without associating partners with Him in His divinity.
107
أَفَأَمِنُوا أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ غَاشِيَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ أَوْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿١٠٧﴾
Do they feel themselves secure from the visit of Allah (s.w.t)'s encircling punishment or from the sudden arrival of The Hour while they are not conscious of it?
108
قُلْ هَٰذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ ۚ عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي ۖ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿١٠٨﴾
Say: 'This is my way. I call (people) to Allah (s.w.t) with full perception, both I and my followers. Pure is Allah (s.w.t). And I am not among those who associate partners with Him'.
109
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَىٰ ۗ أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۗ وَلَدَارُ الْآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿١٠٩﴾
And We did not send before you (messengers) other than men from the people of the towns whom We inspired with revelation. Have they not travelled in the land where they could have seen how was the fate of those before them? And surely the abode of The Hereafter is much better for those who fear Allah (s.w.t). Would you then still not understand?
110
حَتَّىٰ إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا جَاءَهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّيَ مَن نَّشَاءُ ۖ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَأْسُنَا عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿١١٠﴾
(Punishment was often delayed) until when the messengers were in despair and thought that they were wrong in their estimation, Our help came to them, the saved were those whom We willed. And Our punishment is not averted from the guilty.
111
لَقَدْ كَانَ فِي قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِّأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ ۗ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثًا يُفْتَرَىٰ وَلَٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿١١١﴾
Surely in the narratives of these, there is a lesson for the people of understanding. It is not an invented story, rather, a confirmation of what has been before it. And an elaboration of everything and guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
