Surah Yusuf (يوسف)

Joseph · Meccan · 111 ayahs · Juz 12, 13

• 12:1

  الٓر ۚ تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ

  Alif Laam Raa (Only Allaah knows the correct meaning of these letters). These are the verses of the clear Book (the Qur'aan).

• 12:2

  إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

  Undoubtedly We have revealed it (the Qur'aan) as an Arabic (versatile, clear, grand) Qur'aan so that you (O people of Makkah to whom the Qur'aan was first recited) may understand.

• 12:3

  نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ هَـٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ وَإِن كُنتَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلْغَـٰفِلِينَ

  We narrate to you a most beautiful story in this Qur'aan that We reveal to you. Before this you were of the unwary (those who did not know about this story).

• 12:4

  إِذْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِى سَـٰجِدِينَ

  When (as a child) Yusuf said to his father (Ya'qoob عليه الصلاة والسلام), "O my (beloved) father! Indeed I have seen (in a dream) eleven stars, the sun and the moon all bowing before me." (The stars symbolised his eleven brothers, the sun his father and the moon his mother. This meant that a time would come when Yusuf عليه الصلاة والسلام would be exalted to a high position and all his family members would have to bow down before him.)

• 12:5

  قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ لَا تَقْصُصْ رُءْيَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ إِخْوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُوا۟ لَكَ كَيْدًا ۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ

  His father said, "O my (beloved) son! Do not relate this dream to your brothers, otherwise they will plot against you. Undoubtedly Shaytaan is an open enemy to man (do not tell them because Shaytaan may make them jealous of you when they learn the interpretation of your dream and he may tempt them to harm you)."

• 12:6

  وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ ءَالِ يَعْقُوبَ كَمَآ أَتَمَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَبَوَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

  "In this manner (as He has shown you this wonderful dream) has your Rabb chosen you, taught you the interpretation of dreams and (gracefully) completed His bounty on you (by making you a Nabi) and on the family of Yaqoob عليه الصلاة والسلام just as He had completed it upon your two forefathers Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام and Ishaaq عليه الصلاة والسلام. Indeed your Rabb is All Knowing (about the talents and capacities of all), The Wise."

• 12:7

  ۞ لَّقَدْ كَانَ فِى يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتِهِۦٓ ءَايَـٰتٌ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ

  In the story of Yusuf عليه الصلاة والسلام and his brothers are certainly many Aayaat (lessons) for those who have questions (those who desire to learn).
