Alif-Lām-Rā Tilka 'Āyātu Al-Kitābi Al-Mubīni

Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book

اِنَّا٘ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ قُرۡءٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ

Innā 'Anzalnāhu Qur'ānāan `Arabīyāan La`allakum Ta`qilūna

Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand

نَحۡنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ اَحۡسَنَ الۡقَصَصِ بِمَا٘ اَوۡحَيۡنَا٘ اِلَيۡكَ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَࣗۖ وَاِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهٖ لَمِنَ الۡغٰفِلِيۡنَ

We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur'an although you were, before it, among the unaware

اِذۡ قَالَ يُوۡسُفُ لِاَبِيۡهِ يٰ٘اَبَتِ اِنِّيۡ رَاَيۡتُ اَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوۡكَبًا وَّالشَّمۡسَ وَالۡقَمَرَ رَاَيۡتُهُمۡ لِيۡ سٰجِدِيۡنَ

Idh Qāla Yūsufu Li'abīhi Yā 'Abati 'Innī Ra'aytu 'Aĥada `Ashara Kawkabāan Wa Ash-Shamsa Wa Al-Qamara Ra'aytuhum Lī Sājidīna

[Of these stories mention] when Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me

قَالَ يٰبُنَيَّ لَا تَقۡصُصۡ رُءۡيَاكَ عَلٰ٘ي اِخۡوَتِكَ فَيَكِيۡدُوۡا لَكَ كَيۡدًاؕ اِنَّ الشَّيۡطٰنَ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِيۡنٌ

Qāla Yā Bunayya Lā Taqşuş Ru'uyā Ka `Alá 'Ikhwatika Fayakīdū Laka Kaydāan 'Inna Ash-Shayţāna Lil'insāni `Adūwun Mubīnun

He said, "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers or they will contrive against you a plan. Indeed Satan, to man, is a manifest enemy

وَكَذٰلِكَ يَجۡتَبِيۡكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِنۡ تَاۡوِيۡلِ الۡاَحَادِيۡثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعۡمَتَهٗ عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلٰ٘ي اٰلِ يَعۡقُوۡبَ كَمَا٘ اَتَمَّهَا عَلٰ٘ي اَبَوَيۡكَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَاِسۡحٰقَؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيۡمٌ حَكِيۡمٌࣖ‏

And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favor upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise

Certainly were there in Joseph and his brothers signs for those who ask

When they said, "Joseph and his brother are more beloved to our father than we, while we are a clan. Indeed, our father is in clear error

Kill Joseph or cast him out to [another] land; the countenance of your father will [then] be only for you, and you will be after that a righteous people

قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ لَا تَقۡتُلُوۡا يُوۡسُفَ وَاَلۡقُوۡهُ فِيۡ غَيٰبَتِ الۡجُبِّ يَلۡتَقِطۡهُ بَعۡضُ السَّيَّارَةِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ فٰعِلِيۡنَ

Qāla Qā'ilun Minhum Lā Taqtulū Yūsufa Wa 'Alqūhu Fī Ghayābati Al-Jubbi Yaltaqiţhu Ba`đu As-Sayyārati 'In Kuntum Fā`ilīna

Said a speaker among them, "Do not kill Joseph but throw him into the bottom of the well; some travelers will pick him up - if you would do [something]

قَالُوۡا يٰ٘اَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَاۡمَنَّا عَلٰي يُوۡسُفَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَنٰصِحُوۡنَ

Qālū Yā 'Abānā Mā Laka Lā Ta'mannā `Alá Yūsufa Wa 'Innā Lahu Lanāşiĥūna

They said, "O our father, why do you not entrust us with Joseph while indeed, we are to him sincere counselors

Arsilhu Ma`anā Ghadāan Yarta` Wa Yal`ab Wa 'Innā Lahu Laĥāfižūna

Send him with us tomorrow that he may eat well and play. And indeed, we will be his guardians

Qāla 'Innī Layaĥzununī 'An Tadh/habū Bihi Wa 'Akhāfu 'An Ya'kulahu Adh-Dhi'bu Wa 'Antum `Anhu Ghāfilūna

[Jacob] said, "Indeed, it saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that a wolf would eat him while you are of him unaware

قَالُوۡا لَئِنۡ اَكَلَهُ الذِّئۡبُ وَنَحۡنُ عُصۡبَةٌ اِنَّا٘ اِذًا لَّخٰسِرُوۡنَ

Qālū La'in 'Akalahu Adh-Dhi'bu Wa Naĥnu `Uşbatun 'Innā 'Idhāan Lakhāsirūna

They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] clan, indeed, we would then be losers

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوۡا بِهٖ وَاَجۡمَعُوۡ٘ا اَنۡ يَّجۡعَلُوۡهُ فِيۡ غَيٰبَتِ الۡجُبِّۚ وَاَوۡحَيۡنَا٘ اِلَيۡهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُمۡ بِاَمۡرِهِمۡ هٰذَا وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ

So when they took him [out] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well... But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them [someday] about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]

وَجَآءُوۡ٘ اَبَاهُمۡ عِشَآءً يَّبۡكُوۡنَؕ‏

They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful

وَجَآءُوۡ عَلٰي قَمِيۡصِهٖ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍؕ قَالَ بَلۡ سَوَّلَتۡ لَكُمۡ اَنۡفُسُكُمۡ اَمۡرًاؕ فَصَبۡرٌ جَمِيۡلٌؕ وَاللّٰهُ الۡمُسۡتَعَانُ عَلٰي مَا تَصِفُوۡنَ

And they brought upon his shirt false blood. [Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. And Allah is the one sought for help against that which you describe

وَجَآءَتۡ سَيَّارَةٌ فَاَرۡسَلُوۡا وَارِدَهُمۡ فَاَدۡلٰي دَلۡوَهٗؕ قَالَ يٰبُشۡرٰي هٰذَا غُلٰمٌؕ وَاَسَرُّوۡهُ بِضَاعَةًؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌۭ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ

And there came a company of travelers; then they sent their water drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said, "Good news! Here is a boy." And they concealed him, [taking him] as merchandise; and Allah was knowing of what they did

وَشَرَوۡهُ بِثَمَنٍۭ بَخۡسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعۡدُوۡدَةٍۚ وَكَانُوۡا فِيۡهِ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِيۡنَࣖ‏

And they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning him, of those content with little

And the one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know

وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗ٘ اٰتَيۡنٰهُ حُكۡمًا وَّعِلۡمًاؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ

Wa Lammā Balagha 'Ashuddahu 'Ātaynāhu Ĥukmāan Wa `Ilmāan Wa Kadhalika Najzī Al-Muĥsinīna

And when Joseph reached maturity, We gave him judgment and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good

وَرَاوَدَتۡهُ الَّتِيۡ هُوَ فِيۡ بَيۡتِهَا عَنۡ نَّفۡسِهٖ وَغَلَّقَتِ الۡاَبۡوَابَ وَقَالَتۡ هَيۡتَ لَكَؕ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ اِنَّهٗ رَبِّيۡ٘ اَحۡسَنَ مَثۡوَايَؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُفۡلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ

And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. She closed the doors and said, "Come, you." He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah. Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed

وَلَقَدۡ هَمَّتۡ بِهٖ وَهَمَّ بِهَاۚ لَوۡلَا٘ اَنۡ رَّاٰ بُرۡهَانَ رَبِّهٖؕ كَذٰلِكَ لِنَصۡرِفَ عَنۡهُ السُّوۡٓءَ وَالۡفَحۡشَآءَؕ اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ

And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord. And thus [it was] that We should avert from him evil and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our chosen servants

وَاسۡتَبَقَا الۡبَابَ وَقَدَّتۡ قَمِيۡصَهٗ مِنۡ دُبُرٍ وَّاَلۡفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَا الۡبَابِؕ قَالَتۡ مَا جَزَآءُ مَنۡ اَرَادَ بِاَهۡلِكَ سُوۡٓءًا اِلَّا٘ اَنۡ يُّسۡجَنَ اَوۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ

And they both raced to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back, and they found her husband at the door. She said, "What is the recompense of one who intended evil for your wife but that he be imprisoned or a painful punishment

قَالَ هِيَ رَاوَدَتۡنِيۡ عَنۡ نَّفۡسِيۡ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنۡ اَهۡلِهَاۚ اِنۡ كَانَ قَمِيۡصُهٗ قُدَّ مِنۡ قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتۡ وَهُوَ مِنَ الۡكٰذِبِيۡنَ

[Joseph] said, "It was she who sought to seduce me." And a witness from her family testified. "If his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars

So when her husband saw his shirt torn from the back, he said, "Indeed, it is of the women's plan. Indeed, your plan is great

So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and prepared for them a banquet and gave each one of them a knife and said [to Joseph], "Come out before them." And when they saw him, they greatly admired him and cut their hands and said, "Perfect is Allah! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel

She said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me. And I certainly sought to seduce him, but he firmly refused; and if he will not do what I order him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be of those debased

He said, "My Lord, prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. And if You do not avert from me their plan, I might incline toward them and [thus] be of the ignorant

فَاسۡتَجَابَ لَهٗ رَبُّهٗ فَصَرَفَ عَنۡهُ كَيۡدَهُنَّؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ

He said, "You will not receive food that is provided to you except that I will inform you of its interpretation before it comes to you. That is from what my Lord has taught me. Indeed, I have left the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah, and they, in the Hereafter, are disbelievers

You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know

O two companions of prison, as for one of you, he will give drink to his master of wine; but as for the other, he will be crucified, and the birds will eat from his head. The matter has been decreed about which you both inquire

وَقَالَ لِلَّذِيۡ ظَنَّ اَنَّهٗ نَاجٍ مِّنۡهُمَا اذۡكُرۡنِيۡ عِنۡدَ رَبِّكَؗ فَاَنۡسٰىهُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ ذِكۡرَ رَبِّهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِي السِّجۡنِ بِضۡعَ سِنِيۡنَࣖ‏

And [subsequently] the king said, "Indeed, I have seen [in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry. O eminent ones, explain to me my vision, if you should interpret visions

They said, "[It is but] a mixture of false dreams, and we are not learned in the interpretation of dreams

[He said], "Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us about seven fat cows eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry - that I may return to the people; perhaps they will know [about you]

And the king said, "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him, [Joseph] said, "Return to your master and ask him what is the case of the women who cut their hands. Indeed, my Lord is Knowing of their plan

Said [the king to the women], "What was your condition when you sought to seduce Joseph?" They said, "Perfect is Allah! We know about him no evil." The wife of al-'Azeez said, "Now the truth has become evident. It was I who sought to seduce him, and indeed, he is of the truthful

And I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful
