(12) Surat Yusuf سُورَة يُوسُف

  [ Print Version ] [ Surah Introduction ]  

أَلِف-لَام-رَا تِلكَ آيَاتُ الكِتَابِ المُبِينِ

Alif-Lam-Ra. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings]. These are the Verses of the Clear Book (the Qur'an that makes clear the legal and illegal things, legal laws, a guidance and a blessing).

'Alif-Lam-Ra Tilka 'Āyatu Al-Kitabi Al-Mubini

إِنَّا أَنزَلنَاه ُُ قُرآناً عَرَبِيّا ً لَعَلَّكُم تَعقِلُونَ

Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an in order that you may understand.

'Inna 'Anzalnahu Qur'anaan `Arabiyaan La`allakum Ta`qilūna

نَحنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيكَ أَحسَنَ القَصَصِ بِمَا أَوحَينَا إِلَيكَ هَذَا القُرآنَ وَإِنكُنتَ مِنقَبْلِه ِِ لَمِنَ الغَافِلِينَ

We relate unto you (Muhammad SAW) the best of stories through Our Revelations unto you, of this Qur'an. And before this (i.e. before the coming of Divine Inspiration to you), you were among those who knew nothing about it (the Qur'an).

Naĥnu Naquşşu `Alayka 'Aĥsana Al-Qaşaşi Bima 'Awĥayna 'Ilayka Hadha Al-Qur'ana Wa 'In Kunta Min Qablihi Lamina Al-Ghafilina

إِذ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيه ِِ يَاأَبَتِ إِنِّي رَأَيتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوكَبا ً وَالشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ رَأَيتُهُم لِي سَاجِدِينَ

(Remember) when Yusuf (Joseph) said to his father: "O my father! Verily, I saw (in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves to me."

'Idh Qala Yūsufu Li'abihi Ya 'Abati 'Inni Ra'aytu 'Aĥada `Ashara Kawkabaan Wa Ash-Shamsa Wa Al-Qamara Ra'aytuhum Li Sajidina

قَالَ يَابُنَيَّ لاَ تَقْصُص رُؤيَاكَ عَلَى إِخوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُوا لَكَ كَيدا ً إِنَّ الشَّيطَانَ لِلإِنسَانِ عَدُوّ ٌ مُبِين ٌ

He (the father) said: "O my son! Relate not your vision to your brothers, lest they arrange a plot against you. Verily! Shaitan (Satan) is to man an open enemy!

Qala Ya Bunayya La Taqşuş Ru'uya Ka `Alá 'Ikhwatika Fayakidū Laka Kaydaan 'Inna Ash-Shayţana Lil'insani `Adūwun Mubinun

وَكَذَلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِنتَأْوِيلِ الأَحَادِيثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعمَتَه ُُ عَلَيكَ وَعَلَى آلِ يَعقُوبَ كَمَا أَتَمَّهَا عَلَى أَبَوَيكَ مِنقَبْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسحَاقَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيم ٌ

"Thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of dreams (and other things) and perfect His Favour on you and on the offspring of Ya'qub (Jacob), as He perfected it on your fathers, Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ishaque (Isaac) aforetime! Verily, your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise."

لَقَدكَانَ فِي يُوسُفَ وَإِخوَتِهِ آيَات ٌ لِلسَّائِلِينَ

Verily, in Yusuf (Joseph) and his brethren, there were Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) for those who ask.

إِذ قَالُوا لَيُوسُفُ وَأَخُوهُ~ُ أَحَبُّ إِلَى أَبِينَا مِنَّا وَنَحنُ عُصبَة ٌ إِنَّ أَبَانَا لَفِي ضَلاَل ٍ مُبِين ٍ

When they said: "Truly, Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother (Benjamin) are loved more by our father than we, but we are 'Usbah (a strong group). Really, our father is in a plain error.

'Idh Qalū Layūsufu Wa 'Akhūhu 'Aĥabbu 'Ilá 'Abina Minna Wa Naĥnu `Uşbatun 'Inna 'Abana Lafi Đalalin Mubinin

"Kill Yusuf (Joseph) or cast him out to some (other) land, so that the favour of your father may be given to you alone, and after that you will be righteous folk (by intending repentance before committing the sin)."

Aqtulū Yūsufa 'Awi Aţraĥūhu 'Arđaan Yakhlu Lakum Wajhu 'Abikum Wa Takūnū Min Ba`dihi Qawmaan Şaliĥina

قَالَ قَائِل ٌ مِنهُم لاَ تَقْتُلُوا يُوسُفَ وَأَلقُوه ُُ فِي غَيَابَتِ الجُبِّ يَلتَقِطْهُ بَعضُ السَّيَّارَةِ إِنكُنتُم فَاعِلِينَ

One from among them said: "Kill not Yusuf (Joseph), but if you must do something, throw him down to the bottom of a well, he will be picked up by some caravan of travellers."

Qala Qa'ilun Minhum La Taqtulū Yūsufa Wa 'Alqūhu Fi Ghayabati Al-Jubbi Yaltaqiţhu Ba`đu As-Sayyarati 'In Kuntum Fa`ilina

قَالُوا يَاأَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لاَ تَأْمَنَّا عَلَى يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَه ُُ لَنَاصِحُونَ

They said: "O our father! Why do you not trust us with Yusuf (Joseph), - when we are indeed his well-wishers?"

Qalū Ya 'Abana Ma Laka La Ta'manna `Alá Yūsufa Wa 'Inna Lahu Lanaşiĥūna

أَرسِلهُ مَعَنَا غَدا ً يَرتَع وَيَلعَبوَإِنَّا لَه ُُ لَحَافِظُونَ

"Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play, and verily, we will take care of him."

'Arsilhu Ma`ana Ghadaan Yarta` Wa Yal`ab Wa 'Inna Lahu Laĥafižūna

قَالَ إِنِّي لَيَحزُنُنِي أَنتَذهَبُوا بِه ِِ وَأَخَافُ أَنيَأْكُلَهُ الذِّئبُ وَأَنْتُم عَنهُ غَافِلُونَ

He [Ya'qub (Jacob)] said: "Truly, it saddens me that you should take him away. I fear lest a wolf should devour him, while you are careless of him."

Qala 'Inni Layaĥzununi 'An Tadh/habū Bihi Wa 'Akhafu 'An Ya'kulahu Adh-Dhi'bu Wa 'Antum `Anhu Ghafilūna

قَالُوا لَئِن أَكَلَهُ الذِّئبُ وَنَحنُ عُصبَة ٌ إِنَّا إِذا ً لَخَاسِرُونَ

They said: "If a wolf devours him, while we are 'Usbah (a strong group) (to guard him), then surely, we are the losers."

Qalū La'in 'Akalahu Adh-Dhi'bu Wa Naĥnu `Uşbatun 'Inna 'Idhaan Lakhasirūna

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا بِه ِِ وَأَجْمَعُوا أَنيَجْعَلُوه ُُ فِي غَيَابَتِ الجُبِّ وَأَوحَينَا إِلَيهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُمبِأَمرِهِم هَذَا وَهُم لاَ يَشعُرُونَ

So, when they took him away, they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well, and We inspired in him:"Indeed, you shall (one day) inform them of this their affair, when they know (you) not."

And they came to their father in the early part of the night weeping.

Wa Ja'ū 'Abahum `Isha'an Yabkūna

قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَستَبِقُ وَتَرَكنَا يُوسُفَ عِنْدَ مَتَاعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ الذِّئبُ وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُؤمِن ٍ لَنَا وَلَو كُنَّا صَادِقِينَ

They said:"O our father! We went racing with one another, and left Yusuf (Joseph) by our belongings and a wolf devoured him; but you will never believe us even when we speak the truth."

And they brought his shirt stained with false blood. He said: "Nay, but your ownselves have made up a tale. So (for me) patience is most fitting. And it is Allah (Alone) Whose help can be sought against that which you assert."

And there came a caravan of travellers; they sent their water-drawer, and he let down his bucket (into the well). He said: "What good news! Here is a boy." So they hid him as merchandise (a slave). And Allah was the All-Knower of what they did.

And they sold him for a low price, - for a few Dirhams (i.e. for a few silver coins). And they were of those who regarded him insignificant.

And he (the man) from Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay comfortable, may be he will profit us or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Yusuf (Joseph) in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not.

وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ آتَينَاه ُُ حُكما ً وَعِلما ً وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي المُحسِنِينَ

And when he [Yusuf (Joseph)] attained his full manhood, We gave him wisdom and knowledge (the Prophethood), thus We reward the Muhsinun (doers of good - see V.2:112).

And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him (to do an evil act), she closed the doors and said: "Come on, O you." He said: "I seek refuge in Allah (or Allah forbid)! Truly, he (your husband) is my master! He made my stay agreeable! (So I will never betray him). Verily, the Zalimun (wrong and evil-doers) will never be successful."

And indeed she did desire him and he would have inclined to her desire, had he not seen the evidence of his Lord. Thus it was, that We might turn away from him evil and illegal sexual intercourse. Surely, he was one of Our chosen, guided slaves.

So they raced with one another to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back. They both found her lord (i.e. her husband) at the door. She said: "What is the recompense (punishment) for him who intended an evil design against your wife, except that he be put in prison or a painful torment?"

He [Yusuf (Joseph)] said: "It was she that sought to seduce me," - and a witness of her household bore witness (saying): "If it be that his shirt is torn from the front, then her tale is true and he is a liar!

So when he (her husband) saw his [(Yusuf's (Joseph)] shirt torn at the back; (her husband) said: "Surely, it is a plot of you women! Certainly mighty is your plot!

"O Yusuf (Joseph)! Turn away from this! (O woman!) Ask forgiveness for your sin. Verily, you were of the sinful."

And women in the city said: "The wife of Al-'Aziz is seeking to seduce her (slave) young man, indeed she loves him violently; verily we see her in plain error."

So when she heard of their accusation, she sent for them and prepared a banquet for them; she gave each one of them a knife (to cut the foodstuff with), and she said [(to Yusuf (Joseph)]: "Come out before them." Then, when they saw him, they exalted him (at his beauty) and (in their astonishment) cut their hands. They said: "How perfect is Allah (or Allah forbid)! No man is this! This is none other than a noble angel!"

She said: "This is he (the young man) about whom you did blame me (for his love), and I did seek to seduce him, but he refused. And now if he refuses to obey my order, he shall certainly be cast into prison, and will be one of those who are disgraced."

He said:"O my Lord! Prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. Unless You turn away their plot from me, I will feel inclined towards them and be one (of those who commit sin and deserve blame or those who do deeds) of the ignorants."

So his Lord answered his invocation and turned away from him their plot. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.

Then it appeared to them, after they had seen the proofs (of his innocence) to imprison him for a time.

And there entered with him two young men in the prison. One of them said: "Verily, I saw myself (in a dream) pressing wine." The other said: "Verily, I saw myself (in a dream) carrying bread on my head and birds were eating thereof." (They said): "Inform us of the interpretation of this. Verily, we think you are one of the Muhsinun (doers of good - see V.2:112)."

He said: "No food will come to you (in wakefulness or in dream) as your provision, but I will inform (in wakefulness) its interpretation before it (the food) comes. This is of that which my Lord has taught me. Verily, I have abandoned the religion of a people that believe not in Allah and are disbelievers in the Hereafter (i.e. the Kan'aniun of Egypt who were polytheists and used to worship sun and other false deities).

"And I have followed the religion of my fathers, - Ibrahim (Abraham), Ishaque (Isaac) and Ya'qub (Jacob), and never could we attribute any partners whatsoever to Allah. This is from the Grace of Allah to us and to mankind, but most men thank not (i.e. they neither believe in Allah, nor worship Him).

"You do not worship besides Him but only names which you have named (forged), you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command (or the judgement) is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him (i.e. His Monotheism), that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not.
