Quran with English Translation Part ii

$ Pharaoh orders the most skilful sorcerers of Egypt to compete against Moses 10:79-82

10:79 (Then) Pharaoh said, ‘Bring every skilled sorcerer.’

# وَقَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ائْتُونِي بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ 79

10:80 When the sorcerers came, Moses said to them, ‘Cast down what you will cast.’

# فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَى أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ 80

10:81 And when they had cast, Moses said, ‘What you have brought is sorcery. Surely, Allah will render it as nothing. Allah does not put right the work of the corrupt.’

# فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْا قَالَ مُوسَى مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ السِّحْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ المُفْسِدِينَ 81

10:82 Allah verifies the truth by His Words, even though the sinners hate it.

# وَيُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ المُجْرِمُونَ 82

10:83 So none believed Moses except a few of his nation because they feared that Pharaoh and their Council would persecute them. Pharaoh was mighty in the land, and one of the evildoers.

# فَمَا آمَنَ لِمُوسَى إِلاَّ ذُرِّيَّةٌ مِّن قَوْمِهِ عَلَى خَوْفٍ مِّن فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِمْ أَن يَفْتِنَهُمْ وَإِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَعَالٍ فِي الأَرْضِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنَ المُسْرِفِينَ 83

 

$ Moses tells his nation to put their trust in Allah 10:84-87

10:84 Moses said, ‘O my nation, if you believe in Allah, put your trust in Him, if you have surrendered (Muslims).’

# وَقَالَ مُوسَى يَا قَوْمِ إِن كُنتُمْ آمَنتُم بِاللَّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُوا إِن كُنتُم مُّسْلِمِينَ 84

10:85 They said, ‘We have put our trust in Allah. Our Lord, do not let us be a temptation to the harm-doing nation.

# فَقَالُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا رَبَّنَا لاَ تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ 85

10:86 Save us, through Your Mercy, from the unbelieving nation.’

# وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ القَوْمِ الكَافِرِينَ 86

10:87 We revealed to Moses and his brother, ‘Take certain houses for your people in Egypt. Make your houses a direction (for pray); establish the prayer; and give glad tidings to the believers.’

# وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى وَأَخِيهِ أَن تَبَوَّءَا لِقَوْمِكُمَا بِمِصْرَ بُيُوتاً وَاجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ قِبْلَةً وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَبَشِّرِ المُؤْمِنِينَ 87

 

|@ Moses supplicates against Pharaoh 10:88-89

10:88 ‘Our Lord,’ supplicated Moses. ‘You have given Pharaoh and his Council adornments and possessions in this life. Our Lord, let them go astray from Your Path. Our Lord, destroy their possessions and harden their hearts so that they shall not believe until they see the painful punishment.’

# وَقَالَ مُوسَى رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ آتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلأَهُ زِينَةً وَأَمْوَالاً فِي الحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا رَبَّنَا لِيُضِلُّوا عَن سَبِيلِكَ رَبَّنَا اطْمِسْ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاشْدُدْ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَلاَ يُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى يَرَوُا العَذَابَ الأَلِيمَ 88

10:89 He (Allah) said, ‘Your supplication is answered; so go straight and do not follow the way of those who do not know.’

# قَالَ قَدْ أُجِيبَت دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَاسْتَقِيمَا وَلاَ تَتَّبِعَانِّ سَبِيلَ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ 89

 

|@ Don’t wait for the last minute to say you believe 10:90-93

10:90 We brought the Children of Israel through the sea, and Pharaoh and his legions pursued them arrogantly and frantically. But as he was drowning he cried out, ‘(Now) I believe that there is no god except He in whom the Children of Israel believe. I am of those that surrender (Muslims).’

# وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ البَحْرَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ وَجُنُودُهُ بَغْياً وَعَدْواً حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الغَرَقُ قَالَ آمَنتُ أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الَّذِي آمَنَتْ بِهِ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَأَنَا مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ 90

10:91 (Allah said), ‘Now (you believe)! But before this you rebelled and were of the corrupt.

# آلآنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ المُفْسِدِينَ 91

10:92 We shall deliver you (Ramsis II) with your body this day, so that you may be a sign to those after you. Indeed many people pay no heed to Our signs!

# فَالْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ آيَةً وَإِنَّ كَثِيراً مِّنَ النَّاسِ عَنْ آيَاتِنَا لَغَافِلُونَ 92

10:93 (Thereafter) We settled the Children of Israel in a blessed land and provided them with good things. They did not differ until knowledge was given them. Indeed, your Lord will decide between them on the Day of Resurrection.

# وَلَقَدْ بَوَّأْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُبَوَّأَ صِدْقٍ وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ فَمَا اخْتَلَفُوا حَتَّى جَاءَهُمُ العِلْمُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِي بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ 93

 

|@ Losers in the Everlasting Life 10:94-97

10:94 If you are in doubt of what We have sent down to you, ask those who recite the Book before you. The truth has come to you from your Lord, therefore do not be of the doubters.

# فَإِن كُنتَ فِي شَكٍّ مِّمَّا أَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ فَاسْئَلِ الَّذِينَ يَقْرَءُونَ الكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَقَدْ جَاءَكَ الحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ المُمْتَرِينَ 94

10:95 Do not be among those who belie the verses of Allah, for then you would be among the losers.

# وَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الخَاسِرِينَ 95

10:96 Those against whom the Word of your Lord will be realized will not believe,

# إِنَّ الَّذِينَ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ 96

10:97 even though every sign comes to them, until they see the painful punishment.

# وَلَوْ جَاءَتْهُمْ كُلُّ آيَةٍ حَتَّى يَرَوُا العَذَابَ الأَلِيمَ 97

 

|@ Prophet Jonah 10:98-100

10:98 Why, was there never a village that believed and its belief benefited them? Except Jonah’s nation, when they believed, We spared them from a degrading punishment in this life and We gave them enjoyment for awhile.

# فَلَوْلاَ كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ آمَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَا إِيمَانُهَا إِلاَّ قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّا آمَنُوا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ الخِزْيِ فِي الحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَاهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ 98

10:99 Had your Lord willed, whosoever is in the earth, all would have believed. Would you then constrain people until they believe?

# وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لآمَنَ مَن فِي الأَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعاً أَفَأَنْتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ 99

10:100 No soul can believe except by the permission of Allah. Upon those who do not understand lays His punishment.

# وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَن تُؤْمِنَ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَيَجْعَلُ الرِّجْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ 100

 

|@ The unbelievers are blind and deaf to the signs and warnings of Allah 10:101-102

10:101 Say, ‘See what is in the heavens and the earth!’ But neither signs nor warnings help the unbelievers.

# قُلِ انظُرُوا مَاذَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَا تُغْنِي الآيَاتُ وَالنُّذُرُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ لاَّ يُؤْمِنُونَ 101

10:102 Do they watch and wait for anything except for days similar to those who passed away before them?’ Say, ‘Wait; I shall be with you among those who are waiting.’

# فَهَلْ يَنتَظِرُونَ إِلاَّ مِثْلَ أَيَّامِ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قُلْ فَانتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُم مِّنَ المُنتَظِرِينَ 102

 

|@ The obligation of Allah to His Messengers and believers 10:103

10:103 Then we shall save Our Messengers and the believers. It is Our obligated duty, We shall save those who believe.

# ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كَذَلِكَ حَقاًّ عَلَيْنَا نُنْجِ المُؤْمِنِينَ 103

 

|@ Worship Allah alone 10:104-106

10:104 Say, ‘O people! If you are in doubt concerning my religion, I worship none of those you worship, other than Allah but I worship Allah, who will cause you to die, for I am commanded to be among the believers,

# قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِن كُنتُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّن دِينِي فَلاَ أَعْبُدُ الَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنْ أَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفَّاكُمْ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ المُؤْمِنِينَ 104

10:105 and, set your face towards the religion, being of pure faith, and do not be among the idolaters.

# وَأَنْ أَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفاً وَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ 105

10:106 Do not pray to, other than Allah, anything that can neither help nor harm you, for if you do, you will become a harm doer.

# وَلاَ تَدْعُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ يَنفَعُكَ وَلاَ يَضُرُّكَ فَإِن فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذاً مِّنَ الظَّالِمِينَ 106

 

|@ None can help you except Allah 10:107

10:107 If Allah touches you with an affliction none can remove it except He; and if He wills any good for you, none can repel His Bounty. He causes it to fall upon whosoever of His worshippers that He will. He is the Forgiving, the Most Merciful.’

# وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلاَ كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلاَ رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِ يُصِيبُ بِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَهُوَ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ 107

 

|@ The guided and the astray 10:108-109

10:108 Say, ‘O people! The truth has come to you from your Lord. Whosoever is guided, is guided only for himself, and whosoever goes astray, he is astray for himself. I am not a guardian over you. ‘

# قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَكُمُ الحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ فَمَنِ اهْتَدَى فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍ 108

 

$ Allah is the Best of judges 10:109

10:109 Follow what is revealed to you, and be patient till Allah shall judge, and He is the Best of judges.

# وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ وَاصْبِرْ حَتَّى يَحْكُمَ اللَّهُ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الحَاكِمِينَ 109

 

|@HUD 11 The Prophet Hood – Hood

1:1 In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful

# بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ 1

 

$ Allah confirms the Koran is His Book 11:1

11:1 AlifLaamRa. (This is) a Book whose verses are clear, and then distinguished, from Him the Wise, the Aware.

# الـر كِتَابٌ أُحْكِمَتْ آيَاتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ 1

 

|@ The command to worship Allah alone 11:2-4

11:2 Worship none except Allah. I (Prophet Muhammad) am for you, a warner sent from Him and a bearer of glad tidings.

# أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُوا إِلاَّ اللَّهَ إِنَّنِي لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ 2

 

$ All will return to Allah 11:3-4

11:3 And ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will give you enjoyment till a stated term and will give of His Bounty to those of grace. But if you turn away, I fear for you the punishment of a Mighty Day.

# وَأَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُم مَّتَاعاً حَسَناً إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِي فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهُ وَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيرٍ 3

11:4 To Allah you shall all return. He has power over all things.

# إِلَى اللَّهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ 4

 

|@ Allah knows the secrets of everyone 11:5

11:5 See, they (the unbelievers) cover their chests to conceal from Him. But when they wrap themselves in their clothes He knows what they hide and what they reveal. Indeed, He knows every thought within the chest.

# أَلاَ إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوا مِنْهُ أَلاَ حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ 5

 

|@ The provision of Allah 11:6

11:6 There is not a crawling (creature) on the earth whose provision is not by Allah. He knows its resting place and its repository. All is in a Clear Book.

# وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلاَّ عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ 6

 

|@ The claims, insolence and ingratitude of the unbelievers 11:7-12

11:7 It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days and His Throne was upon the waters that He might try you, (and see) which of you excel in works. If you say, ‘After death you shall be raised up,’ the unbelievers will say, ‘This is nothing but clear sorcery.’

# وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى المَاءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلاً وَلَئِن قُلْتَ إِنَّكُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِ المَوْتِ لَيَقُولَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ 7

11:8 And if We delay the punishment till an appointed time, they will ask, ‘What has detained it?’ Indeed, the Day will come to them, it will not be turned away from them, and that they mocked at will encompass them.

# وَلَئِنْ أَخَّرْنَا عَنْهُمُ العَذَابَ إِلَى أُمَّةٍ مَّعْدُودَةٍ لَّيَقُولُنَّ مَا يَحْبِسُهُ أَلاَ يَوْمَ يَأْتِيهِمْ لَيْسَ مَصْرُوفاً عَنْهُمْ وَحَاقَ بِهِم مَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ 8

11:9 If We let a human taste Our Mercy and then withhold it from him, he becomes desperate and ungrateful.

# وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَا الإِنسَانَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَاهَا مِنْهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَئُوسٌ كَفُورٌ 9

11:10 And if after adversity had come upon him, We let him taste prosperity, he says, ‘Evil has left me!’ see, he is jubilant and boastful,

# وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَاهُ نَعْمَاءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّاءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّئَاتُ عَنِّي إِنَّهُ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُورٌ 10

11:11 except those who are patient and do good deeds, for them awaits forgiveness and a mighty wage.

# إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُوْلَئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ 11

11:12 Perhaps you are leaving part of what has been sent down to you, and your chest is straitened by it, because they say, ‘Why has no treasure been sent down to him, or an angel come with him?’ You (Prophet Muhammad) are only a warner, and Allah is a Guardian over everything.

# فَلَعَلَّكَ تَارِكٌ بَعْضَ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ وَضَائِقٌ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ أَن يَقُولُوا لَوْلا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ جَاءَ مَعَهُ مَلَكٌ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ نَذِيرٌ وَاللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ 12

 

|@ The challenge of Allah to those who claim Prophet Muhammad wrote the Koran 11:13-14

11:13 Or do they say, ‘He has forged it?’ Say (to them), ‘Then produce ten forged chapters like it. Call, if you are able, upon other than Allah, if what you say is true.’

# أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ فَأْتُوا بِعَشْرِ سُوَرٍ مِّثْلِهِ مُفْتَرَيَاتٍ وَادْعُوا مَنِ اسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ 13

11:14 But if they do not answer you, know that it has been sent down with the knowledge of Allah, and that there is no god except He. So, have you surrendered (become Muslims)?

# فَإِن لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكُمْ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا أُنزِلَ بِعِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَأَن لاَّ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ 14

 

|@ The good deeds of the unbelievers are repaid in this life 11:15-16

11:15 We shall pay those who desire the present life and its adornments in full for the work they have done therein, they shall not be defrauded;

# مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ الحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتَهَا نُوَفِّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فِيهَا وَهُمْ فِيهَا لاَ يُبْخَسُونَ 15

11:16 those are they who in the Everlasting Life will have only the Fire. There, their deeds will have failed and their works will be void.

# أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ النَّارُ وَحَبِطَ مَا صَنَعُوا فِيهَا وَبَاطِلٌ مَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ 16

 

|@ Most people disbelieve 11:17

11:17 Then what of he who stands upon a clear proof from his Lord, recited by a witness from Him and before him is the Book of Moses for a guide and a mercy? Those believe in it. But as for those partisans who disbelieve in it, their promised land shall be the Fire. Therefore do not doubt it. It is the truth from your Lord, yet most people do not believe.

# أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِ وَيَتْلُوهُ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْهُ وَمِن قَبْلِهِ كِتَابُ مُوسَى إِمَاماً وَرَحْمَةً أُوْلَئِكَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الأَحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُ فَلاَ تَكُ فِي مِرْيَةٍ مِّنْهُ إِنَّهُ الحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ 17

 

|@ The greatest losers in the Everlasting Life 11:18-22

11:18 And who is greater in evil than he who forges a lie against Allah? Those, they shall be brought before their Lord, and witnesses will say, ‘Those are they who lied against their Lord.’ Indeed, the curse of Allah shall fall upon the evildoers,

# وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً أُوْلَئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ وَيَقُولُ الأَشْهَادُ هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى رَبِّهِمْ أَلاَ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الظَّالِمِينَ 18

11:19 who bar others from the Path of Allah and seek to make it crooked, they disbelieve in the Everlasting Life.

# الَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجاً وَهُم بِالآخِرَةِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ 19

11:20 They are unable to frustrate Him (Allah) on the earth; there is none to protect them, except Allah. Those, their punishment shall be doubled; they could neither hear nor see.

# أُوْلَئِكَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا مُعْجِزِينَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ يُضَاعَفُ لَهُمُ العَذَابُ مَا كَانُوا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ السَّمْعَ وَمَا كَانُوا يُبْصِرُونَ 20

11:21 Those are they that have lost their souls, and that which they forged has left them;

# أُوْلَئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ 21

11:22 without doubt they will be the greatest losers in the Everlasting Life.

# لاَ جَرَمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ هُمُ الأَخْسَرُونَ 22

 

|@ The people of Paradise 11:23-24

11:23 Whereas those who believe and do good deeds and humble themselves before their Lord, they are the companions of Paradise, and there they shall live forever.

# إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَأَخْبَتُوا إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ أُوْلَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الجَنَّةِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ 23

11:24 The likeness of the two parties is as one who is blind and deaf, and one that sees and hears, are they equally alike, will you not remember?

# مَثَلُ الفَرِيقَيْنِ كَالأَعْمَى وَالأَصَمِّ وَالْبَصِيرِ وَالسَّمِيعِ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلاً أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ 24

 

|@ The story of Prophet Noah 11:25-36

11:25 We sent Noah to his nation. (He said,) ‘I am a warner for you, and a bearer of glad tidings.

# وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحاً إِلَى قَوْمِهِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ 25

11:26 Worship none except Allah. I fear for you the punishment of a painful Day.’

# أَن لاَّ تَعْبُدُوا إِلاَّ اللَّهَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ 26

11:27 The unbelieving Council of his nation said, ‘We do not see you other than a human like ourselves. We see your followers are none but the lowliest amongst us, and their opinion is not to be considered. We do not see you superior to us, rather, we consider you liars.’

# فَقَالَ المَلأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ مَا نَرَاكَ إِلاَّ بَشَراً مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَاكَ اتَّبَعَكَ إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ الرَّأْيِ وَمَا نَرَى لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَاذِبِينَ 27

 

$ Noah debates his nation 11:28-36

11:28 He said, ‘What do you think my nation! If I have a clear proof from my Lord and He has given me mercy from Him, though it is hidden from you, can we compel you to accept it when you hate it?

# قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّي وَآتَانِي رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِهِ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنْتُمْ لَهَا كَارِهُونَ 28

11:29 My nation, for this I do not ask you for your wealth for my wage is only with Allah. Nor will I drive away the believers, for they will surely meet their Lord. But, I can see that you are ignorant.

# وَيَا قَوْمِ لاَ أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالاً إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلاَّ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَمَا أَنَا بِطَارِدِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّهُم مُّلاقُوا رَبِّهِمْ وَلَكِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ قَوْماً تَجْهَلُونَ 29

11:30 Were I to drive you away my nation, who would help me from Allah? Will you not remember?

# وَيَا قَوْمِ مَن يَنصُرُنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ إِن طَرَدتُّهُمْ أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ 30

11:31 I do not say to you that I possess the treasuries of Allah, and I do not know the unseen. I do not say I am an angel, nor do I say to those whom you despise, Allah will not give them any good. Allah knows best what is in their hearts. Indeed, if this were so then I would be amongst the harm doers.’

# وَلاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِي خَزَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ الغَيْبَ وَلاَ أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ وَلاَ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِي أَعْيُنُكُمْ لَن يُؤْتِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْراً اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ إِنِّي إِذاً لَّمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ 31

11:32 They said, ‘O Noah, you have disputed, and disputed too much, with us. Bring (down) upon us that which you promised us, if what you say is true!’

# قَالُوا يَا نُوحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ 32

11:33 He replied, ‘Allah will bring it (down) upon you if He will; you will never frustrate Him.

# قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُم بِهِ اللَّهُ إِن شَاءَ وَمَا أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ 33

11:34 Nor will my sincere counsel benefit you if I sincerely desire to counsel you if Allah desires to lead you astray. He is your Lord, and to Him you shall return.’

# وَلاَ يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِي إِنْ أَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ 34

11:35 Or do they say, ‘He has fabricated it (himself)!’ Say, ‘If I had fabricated it, then the sin rests upon me. I reject the sins you do.’

# أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُ فَعَلَيَّ إِجْرَامِي وَأَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُونَ 35

11:36 And it was revealed to Noah, ‘None of your nation will believe except whosoever has already believed. Do not distress yourself with what they may do.

# وَأُوحِيَ إِلَى نُوحٍ أَنَّهُ لَن يُؤْمِنَ مِن قَوْمِكَ إِلاَّ مَن قَدْ آمَنَ فَلاَ تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ 36

11:38 Whenever an assembly of his nation passed by him as he was building the Ark, they mocked him. Whereupon he said, ‘If you mock us, we shall indeed mock you, just as you mock.

# وَيَصْنَعُ الفُلْكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ مَلأٌ مِّن قَوْمِهِ سَخِرُوا مِنْهُ قَالَ إِن تـَسْخَرُوا مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُونَ 38

11:39 You shall know to whom a degrading punishment will come, and upon whom an everlasting punishment will fall.’

# فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِيمٌ 39

11:40 And when Our command came and the oven gushed (forth with water), We said (to Noah), ‘Take on board (the Ark) a pair from every species and your family, except he of whom the word has already been spoken, and those who believe. And none except a few believed with him.

# حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلاَّ مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ القَوْلُ وَمَنْ آمَنَ وَمَا آمَنَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ 40

11:41 He (Noah) said, ‘Embark. In the Name of Allah will be its course and berthing. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving, the Most Merciful.’

# وَقَالَ ارْكَبُوا فِيهَا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَجْرَاهَا وَمُرْسَاهَا إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 41

11:42 And so it (the Ark) ran with them amidst the mountainous waves, and Noah cried out to his son, who was standing apart, ‘Embark with us, my son, do not be with the unbelievers!’

# وَهِيَ تَجْرِي بِهِمْ فِي مَوْجٍ كَالْجِبَالِ وَنَادَى نُوحٌ ابْنَهُ وَكَانَ فِي مَعْزِلٍ يَا بُنَيَّ ارْكَب مَّعَنَا وَلاَ تَكُن مَّعَ الكَافِرِينَ 42

11:43 But he replied, ‘I shall seek refuge on a mountain, which will protect me from the water.’ He (Noah) said, ‘Today, there is no defender from the command of Allah, except those to whom He has mercy.’ And the waves came between them, and he was drowned.

# قَالَ سَآوِي إِلَى جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِي مِنَ المَاءِ قَالَ لاَ عَاصِمَ اليَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ مَن رَّحِمَ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا المَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ المُغْرَقِينَ 43

11:44 And it was said, ‘Earth, swallow up your waters. Heaven, cease!’ The water subsided and the matter was accomplished. And the Ark came to rest upon (the mountain of) Al Judi, and it was said, ‘Be gone, evildoing nation!’

# وَقِيلَ يَا أَرْضُ ابْلَعِي مَاءَكِ وَيَا سَمَاءُ أَقْلِعِي وَغِيضَ المَاءُ وَقُضِيَ الأَمْرُ وَاسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الجُودِيِّ وَقِيلَ بُعْداً لِّلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ 44

11:46 He said, ‘Noah, he is not of your family. It is not a good deed. Do not ask Me about things of which you have no knowledge. I reproach you lest you become among the ignorant.’

# قَالَ يَا نُوحُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ فَلاَ تَسْأَلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ إِنِّي أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ الجَاهِلِينَ 46

11:47 He said, ‘My Lord, I seek refuge with You from asking You of that which I have no knowledge. If You do not forgive me and have mercy on me, I shall be among the losers.’

# قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ وَإِلاَّ تَغْفِرْ لِي وَتَرْحَمْنِي أَكُن مِّنَ الخَاسِرِينَ 47

11:80 He said, ‘Would that I were powerful over you, or might take refuge in a strong pillar!’

# قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ 80

 

|@ The angels tell Lot they are Messengers sent from Allah and that His punishment is about to fall upon his nation for their depravity 11:81-83

11:81 They (the angels) said, ‘Lot, we are the Messengers of your Lord, they shall not touch you. Depart with your family in the watch of the night and let none of you turn round, except your wife. She shall be struck by that which strikes them. Their appointed time is the morning. Is it not that the morning is near?’

# قَالُوا يَا لُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ وَلاَ يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَكَ إِنَّهُ مُصِيبُهَا مَا أَصَابَهُمْ إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُ أَلَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ 81

 

$ The punishment of the nation of Lot 11:82-83

11:82 And when Our command came, We turned it upside down, and rained on it, stone after stone of baked clay,

# فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا جَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ مَّنضُودٍ 82

11:83 marked with your Lord, and never far from the evildoers.

# مُسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ وَمَا هِيَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ بِبَعِيدٍ 83

 

|@ Prophet Shu’aib and the nation of Midian 11:84

11:84 And to Midian, (We sent) their brother Shu’aib. He said, ‘My nation, worship Allah; you have no god except He. Do not reduce the measure nor the scale. I see you are prosperous, and fear the punishment of an encompassing day for you.

# وَإِلَى مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْباً قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَهٍ غَيْرُهُ وَلاَ تَنقُصُوا المِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيزَانَ إِنِّي أَرَاكُم بِخَيْرٍ وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ مُّحِيطٍ 84

 

|@ Shu’aib tells his nation to trade fairly and not to corrupt 11:85-86

11:85 My nation, be just in filling the measure and the scale. Do not reduce people’s goods and do not corrupt the land with mischief.

# وَيَا قَوْمِ أَوْفُوا المِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَلاَ تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلاَ تَعْثَوْا فِي الأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ 85

11:86 What remains with Allah is better for you, if you are believers. I am not your guardian.’

# بَقِيَّةُ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ 86

 

|@ Shu’aib’s nation disbelieve, preferring baseless traditions to the message and warnings sent them via His prophet 11:87-88

11:87 ‘Shu’aib, ‘ they replied, ‘does your prayer command you that we should abandon that which our fathers worshipped or do as we please with our goods? You are clement and right-minded!’

# قَالُوا يَا شُعَيْبُ أَصَلاتُكَ تَأْمُرُكَ أَن نَّتْرُكَ مَا يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُنَا أَوْ أَن نَّفْعَلَ فِي أَمْوَالِنَا مَا نَشَاءُ إِنَّكَ لأَنْتَ الحَلِيمُ الرَّشِيدُ 87

11:88 He said, ‘Think, my nation! If I have a clear sign from my Lord and He has provided me with good provision, I do not desire to go behind you, taking for myself that which I forbid you. I seek but to reform as much as I can, my help comes only from Allah. In Him I have put my trust and to Him I turn in penitence.

# قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّي وَرَزَقَنِي مِنْهُ رِزْقاً حَسَناً وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَى مَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ إِنْ أُرِيدُ إِلاَّ الإِصْلاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ وَمَا تَوْفِيقِي إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ 88

 

|@ Shu’aib warns his nation and reminds them of the demise of their ancestors 11:89-93

11:89 And my nation, do not let your breaking with me bring upon you something similar to that which struck the nation of Noah, Hood, and Salih and it is not long since the people of Lot (were punished).

# وَيَا قَوْمِ لاَ يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شِقَاقِي أَن يُصِيبَكُم مِّثْلُ مَا أَصَابَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ هُودٍ أَوْ قَوْمَ صَالِحٍ وَمَا قَوْمُ لُوطٍ مِّنكُم بِبَعِيدٍ 89

11:90 Ask the forgiveness of your Lord and turn to Him in repentance. Indeed, my Lord is the Most Merciful, Loving.’

# وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ إِنَّ رَبِّي رَحِيمٌ وَدُودٌ 90

11:91 They said, ‘Shu’aib, we do not understand much of what you say to us. Indeed, we see you weak among us. If it was not for your tribe we would have stoned you because you are not strong against us. ‘

# قَالُوا يَا شُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيراً مِّمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفاً وَلَوْلا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَاكَ وَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيزٍ 91

11:92 He said, ‘My nation, is my tribe stronger against you than Allah? You have taken Him to be thrown behind you, my Lord encompasses all that you do.

# قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَرَهْطِي أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَاتَّخَذْتُمُوهُ وَرَاءَكُمْ ظِهْرِياً إِنَّ رَبِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ 92

11:93 My nation, do according to your position; as I am doing; and certainly you will know to whom the degrading punishment will come and who is a liar. Be vigilant; I shall be vigilant with you.’

# وَيَا قَوْمِ اعْمَلُوا عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنِّي عَامِلٌ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن يَأْتِيهِ عَذَابٌ يُخْزِيهِ وَمَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ وَارْتَقِبُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ رَقِيبٌ 93

 

|@ Shu’aib and the believers find mercy with Allah as the unbelievers are punished 11:94-95

11:94 And when Our command came We saved Shu’aib through Our Mercy, together with those who believed. (Then) the evildoers were seized by a Shout, and when morning came they were crouched in their dwellings, dead,

# وَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا نَجَّيْنَا شُعَيْباً وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِّنَّا وَأَخَذَتِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا الصَّيْحَةُ فَأَصْبَحُوا فِي دِيَارِهِمْ جَاثِمِينَ 94

11:95 as if they had never have lived there. Begone, the nation of Midian, just as Thamood are gone.

# كَأَن لَّمْ يَغْنَوْا فِيهَا أَلاَ بُعْداً لِّمَدْيَنَ كَمَا بَعِدَتْ ثَمُودُ 95

 

|@ Pharaoh will lead his nation into Hell for their disbelief 11:96-99

11:96 We sent Moses with Our signs and with clear authority

# وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَى بِآيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ 96

11:97 to Pharaoh and his Council. But they followed the command of Pharaoh, and Pharaoh’s command was not right-minded.

# إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاتَّبَعُوا أَمْرَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَا أَمْرُ فِرْعَوْنَ بِرَشِيدٍ 97

11:98 He shall go before his nation on the Day of Resurrection and lead them into the Fire. Evil is the watering-place to be led down to!

# يَقْدُمُ قَوْمَهُ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ فَأَوْرَدَهُمُ النَّارَ وَبِئْسَ الوِرْدُ المَوْرُودُ 98

11:99 A curse was sent to follow them in this world and then upon them on the Day of Resurrection. Evil is the offering to be offered.

# وَأُتْبِعُوا فِي هَذِهِ لَعْنَةً وَيَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ المَرْفُودُ 99

11:100 That, which We have related to you, is the news of the villages; some of them still stand, whereas others are stubble.

# ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنبَاءِ القُرَى نَقُصُّهُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا قَائِمٌ وَحَصِيدٌ 100

 

|@ The unbelievers wrong themselves 11:101-102

11:101 We did not wrong them (the unbelievers), rather, they wronged themselves. Their gods that they called upon, other than Allah, did not help them when your Lord’s command came they did not increase them except in their destruction.

# وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَكِن ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فَمَا أَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ آلِهَتُهُمُ الَتِي يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ لَّمَّا جَاءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ وَمَا زَادُوَهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍ 101

11:102 Such is the seizing of your Lord, when He seizes the evildoing villages. His seizing is painful, stern.

# وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ القُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ 102

 

|@ There is either happiness or wretchedness on the Day of Judgement 11:103-108

11:103 Indeed, for he who fears the punishment of the Everlasting Life that is a sign. That is a Day on which everyone shall be assembled. That shall be a witnessed Day.

# إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لِّمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الآخِرَةِ ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّجْمُوعٌ لَّهُ النَّاسُ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَّشْهُودٌ 103

11:104 We shall not postpone it except until a counted term.

# وَمَا نُؤَخِّرُهُ إِلاَّ لأَجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ 104

11:105 When that Day arrives no soul shall speak except by His permission. Some shall be wretched, and others happy.

# يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لاَ تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيٌّ وَسَعِيدٌ 105

11:106 The wretched shall be (cast) in the Fire where they will moan and sigh,

# فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ شَقُوا فَفِي النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَشَهِيقٌ 106

11:107 and there they shall live forever, as long as the heavens and the earth endure, and as your Lord wills. Indeed, your Lord accomplishes whatsoever He will.

# خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ إِلاَّ مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ 107

11:108 As for the happy, they shall live in Paradise forever, so as long as the heavens and the earth endure, and as your Lord wills an unbroken gift.

# وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ سُعِدُوا فَفِي الجَنَّةِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ إِلاَّ مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَ عَطَاءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍ 108

 

|@ The futility of following baseless traditions rather than the message and warning sent by Allah via His prophets 11:109

11:109 Therefore do not be doubtful as to what these (the unbelievers) worship. They worship only that which their fathers worshiped before them. We shall indeed pay them in full their undiminished measure.

# فَلاَ تَكُ فِي مِرْيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هَؤُلاءِ مَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلاَّ كَمَا يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُهُم مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوَهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنقُوصٍ 109

 

|@ The Jews doubt the Book given to Moses 11:110-111

11:110 We gave Moses the Book, but they differed regarding it, but for a word that preceded from your Lord, it had been decided between them; and they are in disquieting doubt of it.

# وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الكِتَابَ فَاخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ وَلَوْلا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَفِي شَكٍّ مِّنْهُ مُرِيبٍ 110

11:111 Indeed, your Lord will pay each one of them in full for their deeds. He is aware of the things they do.

# وَإِنَّ كُلاًّ لَّمَّا لَيُوَفِّيَنَّهُمْ رَبُّكَ أَعْمَالَهُمْ إِنَّهُ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ 111

 

|@ Be straightforward and do not be insolent 11:112

11:112 So you and whosoever repents with you go straight as you have been commanded and do not be insolent, indeed, He sees what you do.

# فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلاَ تَطْغَوْا إِنَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ 112

 

$ Seek only the guidance of believing authorities 11:113

11:113 And do not incline to the wrongdoers lest you are touched by the Fire, for then you shall not be helped. You have no guardians other than Allah.

# وَلاَ تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ ثُمَّ لاَ تُنصَرُونَ 113

 

|@ The importance of prayer and patience 11:114-115

11:114 And establish your prayer at the two edges of the day and in part of the night. Good deeds will repel evil deeds. That is a remembrance for those who remember.

# وَأَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفاً مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ 114

11:115 Therefore have patience; Allah will not let the wage of the good doers go to waste.

# وَاصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ المُحْسِنِينَ 115

 

|@ Forbidding corruption 11:116

11:116 If (only) there had been except for a few among them whom We saved among the generations that have gone before you, some that remained forbidding corruption in the land, but the wrongdoers pursued the ease they had been given to delight in and became sinners.

# فَلَوْلاَ كَانَ مِنَ القُرُونِ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ أُوْلُوا بَقِيَّةٍ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الفَسَادِ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً مِّمَّنْ أَنجَيْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَاتَّبَعَ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مَا أُتْرِفُوا فِيهِ وَكَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ 116

 

|@ Allah never destroys unjustly 11:117-119

11:117 Your Lord would never destroy the villages unjustly, whilst their people were reforming.

# وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ لِيُهْلِكَ القُرَى بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا مُصْلِحُونَ 117

11:118 Had your Lord willed, He would have made mankind a single nation. But they continue in their differences

# وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَلاَ يَزَالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ 118

11:119 except those on whom your Lord shows mercy. For this end He has created them. The Word of your Lord shall be perfectly completed, ‘I shall fill Gehenna (Hell) with jinn and people, all together.’

# إِلاَّ مَن رَّحِمَ رَبُّكَ وَلِذَلِكَ خَلَقَهُمْ وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ لأَمْلأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ 119

 

|@ Stories of the prophets and messengers strengthen and remind the believing heart 11:120

11:120 And all We relate to you of the tidings of the Messengers is that whereby We strengthen your heart and through these the truth has come to you, and an admonition and a reminder to the believers.

# وَكُلاًّ نَّقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنبَاءِ الرُّسُلِ مَا نُثَبِّتُ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ وَجَاءَكَ فِي هَذِهِ الحَقُّ وَمَوْعِظَةٌ وَذِكْرَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ 120

11:121 Say to those who disbelieve, ‘Do according to your station; we are doing according to our station.

# وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ اعْمَلُوا عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ إِنَّا عَامِلُونَ 121

11:122 Wait; we too are waiting.’

|@ Worship Allah and put your trust in Him 11:123

11:123 To Allah belongs the unseen in the heavens and in the earth; to Him the matter, in its entirety, shall be returned. Worship Him, and put your trust in Him. Your Lord is not inattentive of the things you do.

# وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَإِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ الأَمْرُ كُلُّهُ فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِ وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ 123

12:1 AlifLaamRa. Those are the verses of the Clear Book.

# الـر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الكِتَابِ المُبِينِ 1

12:2 We have sent it down, an Arabic Koran, in order that you understand.

# إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآناً عَرَبِياًّ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ 2

12:3 In the sending down of this Koran, We will narrate to you (Prophet Muhammad) the best of narratives, of which you were previously unaware.

# نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ القَصَصِ بِمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ هَذَا القُرْآنَ وَإِن كُنتَ مِن قَبْلِهِ لَمِنَ الغَافِلِينَ 3

 

|@ Prophet Joseph’s vision 12:4-6

12:4 When Joseph said to his father, ‘Father, I saw eleven planets, and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating themselves before me.’

# إِذْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لأَبِيهِ يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَباً وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِي سَاجِدِينَ 4

12:5 He said, ‘O my son, say nothing of this vision to your brothers lest they should cunningly plot against you indeed, satan is the clear enemy of the human,

# قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ لاَ تَقْصُصْ رُؤيَاكَ عَلَى إِخْوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُوا لَكَ كَيْداً إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لِلإِنسَانِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ 5

12:6 so your Lord will choose you and teach you the interpretation of visions, and perfect His Favor upon you and upon the House of Jacob, as He perfected it on your fathers Abraham and Isaac before you. Your Lord is Knowing, Wise.

# وَكَذَلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الأَحَادِيثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى آلِ يَعْقُوبَ كَمَا أَتَمَّهَا عَلَى أَبَوَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ 6

12:7 Indeed, in Joseph and his brothers there were signs for those who inquire.

# لَقَدْ كَانَ فِي يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ آيَاتٌ لِّلسَّائِلِينَ 7

12:8 They said, ‘Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than ourselves, even though we are many. Truly, our father is obviously wrong.

# إِذْ قَالُوا لَيُوسُفُ وَأَخُوهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَى أَبِينَا مِنَّا وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّ أَبَانَا لَفِي ضَلالٍ مُّبِينٍ 8

12:9 (Let us) kill Joseph, or cast him away in some (far off) land, so that your father’s face will be left for you, and afterwards you will be a righteous nation.’

# اقْتُلُوا يُوسُفَ أَوِ اطْرَحُوهُ أَرْضاً يَخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ أَبِيكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ قَوْماً صَالِحِينَ 9

12:10 One of them said, ‘No, do not kill Joseph, if you do anything, cast him into a dark pit, a traveler will pick him up.’

# قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ لاَ تَقْتُلُوا يُوسُفَ وَأَلْقُوهُ فِي غَيَابَةِ الجُبِّ يَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ السَّيَّارَةِ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ 10

# قَالَ إِنِّي لَيَحْزُنُنِي أَن تَذْهَبُوا بِهِ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَأَنْتُمْ عَنْهُ غَافِلُونَ 13

12:15 When they went with him, they agreed to put him in the bottom of a well. We revealed to him, ‘You shall tell them of what they did when they are not aware (it is you).’

# فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا بِهِ وَأَجْمَعُوا أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِي غَيَابَةِ الجُبِّ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَذَا وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ 15

 

|@ Jacob disbelieves the lie of his sons 12:16-18

12:16 At nightfall, they returned weeping to their father.

# وَجَاءُوا أَبَاهُمْ عِشَاءً يَبْكُونَ 16

12:17 They said, ‘We went racing and left Joseph with our things. The wolf devoured him, but you will not believe us, though we speak the truth.’

# قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَاعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَادِقِينَ 17

12:18 And they brought his shirt (stained) with blood, a lie. He said, ‘No, your souls have tempted you to do something. But come sweet patience! The help of Allah is always there to seek against that which you describe.’

# وَجَاءُوا عَلَى قَمِيصِهِ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْراً فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللَّهُ المُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ 18

 

|@ Joseph is discovered in the well and sold 12:19-20

12:19 Thereafter travelers came, and sent their waterman. And when he had let down his pail, (he cried,) ‘Rejoice, a boy!’ Then they concealed him among their merchandise, but Allah knew what they did.

# وَجَاءَتْ سَيَّارَةٌ فَأَرْسَلُوا وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَى دَلْوَهُ قَالَ يَا بُشْرَى هَذَا غُلامٌ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَاعَةً وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ 19

12:20 Then, they sold him (Joseph) for a trifling price, a number of dirhams, because they considered him to be of little value.

# وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍ بَخْسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَكَانُوا فِيهِ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِينَ 20

 

|@ Joseph’s new home in Egypt 12:21

12:21 The Egyptian that bought him said to his wife, ‘Make his stay honorable. He may benefit us, or take him for our son.’ As such We established Joseph in the land, so that We might teach him the interpretation of visions. Allah prevails in His affairs, though most people do not know.

# وَقَالَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لامْرَأَتِهِ أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ عَسَى أَن يَنفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَداً وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الأَحَادِيثِ وَاللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَى أَمْرِهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ 21

 

|@ Allah gives Joseph judgment and knowledge 12:22

12:22 And when he (Joseph) reached maturity, We bestowed on him judgment and knowledge. As such We recompense those who do good.

# وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ آتَيْنَاهُ حُكْماً وَعِلْماً وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي المُحْسِنِينَ 22

 

|@ Joseph refuses to be seduced by the governor’s wife 12:23-37

12:23 And she, in whose house he (Joseph) was, sought to seduce him and closed the doors saying, ‘Come!’ ‘In Allah is my refuge!’ he replied. ‘My Lord has made my dwelling a good one. Harm doers never prosper.’

# وَرَاوَدَتْهُ الَتِي هُوَ فِي بَيْتِهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِ وَغَلَّقَتِ الأَبْوَابَ وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ رَبِّي أَحْسَنَ مَثْوَايَ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ 23

12:24 She desired him, had he not been shown the proof of his Lord he would have taken her. But We turned him away from evil and abomination, for he was one of Our sincere worshipers.

# وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلا أَن رَّأَى بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهِ كَذَلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوءَ وَالْفَحْشَاءَ إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا المُخْلَصِينَ 24

12:25 They raced to the door and she tore his shirt from behind. And by the door, they met her husband whereupon she said, ‘What is the recompense of one whose intent is evil against your people other than being imprisoned, or sternly punished!’

# وَاسْتَبَقَا البَابَ وَقَدَّتْ قَمِيصَهُ مِن دُبُرٍ وَأَلْفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَا البَابِ قَالَتْ مَا جَزَاءُ مَنْ أَرَادَ بِأَهْلِكَ سُوءاً إِلاَّ أَن يُسْجَنَ أَوْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ 25

12:26 He (Joseph) said, ‘It was she who sought to seduce me,’ and a witness (an infant) of her people bore witness, saying, ‘If his shirt is torn from the front, she is speaking the truth and he is one of the liars,

# قَالَ هِيَ رَاوَدَتْنِي عَن نَّفْسِي وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا إِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُ قُدَّ مِن قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ الكَاذِبِينَ 26

12:27 but, if his shirt is torn from behind, she lied, and he is of the truthful.’

# وَإِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ 27

 

|@ The governor believes that Joseph is innocent 12:28-29

12:28 And when he saw his (Joseph) shirt torn at the back, he said, ‘This is one of your (women’s) guiles. Your guile, (O woman), is great indeed!

# فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَمِيصَهُ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مِن كَيْدِكُنَّ إِنَّ كَيْدَكُنَّ عَظِيمٌ 28

12:29 Joseph, turn away from this. And you, ask forgiveness for your sin. You are indeed one of the sinners.’

# يُوسُفُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَذَا وَاسْتَغْفِرِي لِذَنْبِكِ إِنَّكِ كُنتِ مِنَ الخَاطِئِينَ 29

 

|@ Joseph and the banquet 12:30-34

12:30 Certain women in the city said, ‘The Governor’s wife has sought to seduce her servant. He has made her heart stricken with love for him. Clearly, we perceive her to be in error.’

# وَقَالَ نِسْوَةٌ فِي المَدِينَةِ امْرَأَةُ العَزِيزِ تُرَاوِدُ فَتَاهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِ قَدْ شَغَفَهَا حُباًّ إِنَّا لَنَرَاهَا فِي ضَلالٍ مُّبِينٍ 30

12:31 When she heard of their sly whispers, she sent for them and prepared a banquet. To each she gave a knife, (then called Joseph saying,) ‘Come and attend to them.’ When they saw him, they were so taken with him that they cut their hands, and said, ‘Allah save us! This is no mortal, he is no other but a noble angel!’

# فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَأً وَآتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّيناً وَقَالَتِ اخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُ أَكْبَرْنَهُ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلَّهِ مَا هَذَا بَشَراً إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ 31

12:32 Whereupon she said, ‘Now you see, this is he on whose account you blamed me. Yes, I sought to seduce him, but he was unyielding. If he declines to do what I command, he shall be imprisoned and be one of the humiliated.’

# قَالَتْ فَذَلِكُنَّ الَّذِي لُمْتُنَّنِي فِيهِ وَلَقَدْ رَاوَدتُّهُ عَن نَّفْسِهِ فَاسْتَعْصَمَ وَلَئِن لَّمْ يَفْعَلْ مَا آمُرُهُ لَيُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُوناً مِّنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ 32

 

|@ The supplication of Joseph 12:33-34

12:33 He (Joseph) supplicated, ‘Lord, prison is dearer to me than that to which they invite me. Yet if You do not shield me from their guile I shall yield to them and be one of the ignorant.’

# قَالَ رَبِّ السِّجْنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا يَدْعُونَنِي إِلَيْهِ وَإِلاَّ تَصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُنَّ أَصْبُ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَكُن مِّنَ الجَاهِلِينَ 33

12:34 His Lord answered him and He turned their guile away from him. Indeed, He is the Hearer, the Knower.

# فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ كَيْدَهُنَّ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ العَلِيمُ 34

 

|@ The imprisonment of Joseph and his interpretation of the visions of his fellow prisoners 12:35-42

12:35 Then it seemed good to them, even after they had seen the signs, that they should imprison him for some time.

# ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُم مِّنْ بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوُا الآيَاتِ لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُ حَتَّى حِينٍ 35

 

12:36 Two young men went to prison with him (Joseph). One of them said, ‘I saw (in a vision) that I was pressing grapes.’ And the other said, ‘I saw (in a vision) that I was carrying bread upon my head, and that birds ate of it. Tell us its interpretation, for we can see you are among the good.’

# وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجْنَ فَتَيَانِ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنِّي أَرَانِي أَعْصِرُ خَمْراً وَقَالَ الآخَرُ إِنِّي أَرَانِي أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رأْسِي خُبْزاً تَأْكُلُ الطَّيْرُ مِنْهُ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِ إِنَّا نَرَاكَ مِنَ المُحْسِنِينَ 36

 

$ Joseph rejects those who do not believe in Allah and the Everlasting Life 12:37-40

12:37 He said, ‘Before any food comes to feed either of you, I will give you its interpretation. That which I will tell you has been taught to me by Allah. I reject the belief of a nation who do not believe in Allah and disbelieve in the Everlasting Life.

# قَالَ لاَ يَأْتِيكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقَانِهِ إِلاَّ نَبَّأْتُكُمَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمَا ذَلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِي رَبِّي إِنِّي تَرَكـْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لاَّ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَهُم بِالآخِرَةِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ 37

12:38 I follow the creed of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is not for us to associate anything with Allah. Such is the favor of Allah to us, and to mankind. Yet most people do not give thanks.

# وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ آبَائِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ مَا كَانَ لَنَا أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِاللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ذَلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَشْكُرُونَ 38

12:39 My fellow prisoners, say which is better, many gods at variance, or Allah the One, the Conqueror?

# يَا صَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ أَأَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ اللَّهُ الوَاحِدُ القَهَّارُ 39

12:40 That which you worship, other than Him, are nothing but names which you and your fathers have named and for which Allah has sent down no authority. Judgement rests with Allah alone. He has commanded you to worship none except Him. That is the right religion, yet most people do not know.

# مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلاَّ أَسْمَاءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ إِنِ الحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ أَمَرَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُوا إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ القَيِّمُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ 40

12:41 My fellow prisoners, one of you will pour wine for his lord whereas the other will be crucified, and birds will peck at his head. The matter you inquired about has been decided.

# يَا صَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ أَمَّا أَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسْقِي رَبَّهُ خَمْراً وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَيُصْلَبُ فَتَأْكُلُ الطَّيْرُ مِن رَّأْسِهِ قُضِيَ الأَمْرُ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ 41

12:42 And he said to the one of the two who he knew would be saved, ‘Mention me in the presence of your lord.’ But satan made him forget to mention him to his master, so that he remained in prison for a certain number of years.

# وَقَالَ لِلَّذِي ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا اذْكُرْنِي عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِ فَلَبِثَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ 42

 

|@ Joseph interprets the vision of the king 12:43-49

12:43 The king said, ‘I saw in a vision seven fatted cows being devoured by seven lean ones; and seven green ears of corn and seven others withered. My counselors, tell me the meaning of my vision, if you can interpret visions.’

# وَقَالَ المَلِكُ إِنِّي أَرَى سَبْعَ بَقَرَاتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعَ سُنْبُلاتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَاتٍ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلأُ أَفْتُونِي فِي رُؤْيَايَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّؤْيَا تَعْبُرُونَ 43

12:44 They said, ‘They are confused nightmares, nor do we know anything of the interpretation of visions.’

# قَالُوا أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلامٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ الأَحْلامِ بِعَالِمِينَ 44

12:45 After all that time, the one of the two who had been saved remembered, he said, ‘I will interpret it for you, so let me go.’

# وَقَالَ الَّذِي نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَادَّكَرَ بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ أَنَا أُنَبِّئُكُم بِتَأْوِيلِهِ فَأَرْسِلُونِ 45

12:46 (He said,) ‘Joseph, the truthful, tell us of the seven fatted cows that were devoured by seven lean ones also of the seven green ears of corn and the other seven which were withered, so that I can go back to the people and then they will then know.’

# يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَا الصِّدِيقُ أَفْتِنَا فِي سَبْعِ بَقَرَاتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعِ سُنْبُلاتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَاتٍ لَّعَلِّي أَرْجِعُ إِلَى النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ 46

12:47 He replied, ‘You shall sow for seven years as is your way. Leave in the ear (of corn) you reap, except a little which you eat.

# قَالَ تَزْرَعُونَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ دَأَباً فَمَا حَصَدتُّمْ فَذَرُوهُ فِي سُنْبُلِهِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً مِّمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ 47

12:48 Thereafter, seven hard years will come upon you, which will consume all but little of that which you have stored.

# ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ 48

12:49 Then, there will come a year in which people are helped, in which the people will press.’

# ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ عَامٌ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَفِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ 49

 

|@ Joseph’s name is cleared 12:50-53

12:50 The king said, ‘Bring him (Joseph) before me.’ But when the king’s envoy came to him, he said, ‘Go back to your lord and ask him, “What about the women who cut their hands. Indeed, my Lord knows their guile.’

# وَقَالَ المَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ الرَّسُولُ قَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَاسْأَلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ اللاَّتِي قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ إِنَّ رَبِّي بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌ 50

12:51 ‘What was your business, women,’ he asked, ‘when you solicited Joseph?’ ‘Allah save us!’ they replied, ‘We know no evil against him.’ The Governor’s wife said, ‘The truth has been discovered at last; I solicited him; he is among the truthful.

# قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ إِذْ رَاوَدتُّنَّ يُوسُفَ عَن نَّفْسِهِ قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِن سُوءٍ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ العَزِيزِ الآنَ حَصْحَصَ الحَقُّ أَنَا رَاوَدتُّهُ عَن نَّفْسِهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ 51

12:52 This (I have done) so that he will know I did not secretly betray him, and that Allah does not guide the guile of the treacherous.

# ذَلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَخُنْهُ بِالْغَيْبِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي كَيْدَ الخَائِنِينَ 52

12:53 Yet I do not consider my soul was innocent, surely the soul incites to evil except to whom my Lord has mercy; indeed, my Lord is Forgiving, the Most Merciful.’

# وَمَا أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِي إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لأَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ إِلاَّ مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّي إِنَّ رَبِّي غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 53

 

|@ Joseph is made guardian of the storehouses of Egypt by the king 12:54-57

12:54 The king said, ‘Bring him Joseph) before me. I will assign him to myself.’ And when he had spoken with him he said, ‘Today, you are firmly established in both our favor and trust.’

# وَقَالَ المَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِي فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ اليَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌ 54

12:55 He (Joseph) said, ‘Give me charge of the storehouses of the land, I am a knowledgeable guardian.’

# قَالَ اجْعَلْنِي عَلَى خَزَائِنِ الأَرْضِ إِنِّي حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ 55

 

$ Allah never wastes the wage of the righteous 12:56-57

12:56 And as such We established Joseph in the land to live wherever he liked. We bestow Our Mercy on whom We will, and We never waste the wage of the righteous.

# وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَاءُ وَلاَ نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ المُحْسِنِينَ 56

12:57 Indeed, the reward of the Everlasting Life is better for those who believe and are cautious.

# وَلأَجْرُ الآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ 57

12:58 Joseph’s brothers came and presented themselves before him. He recognized them, but they did not know him.

12:59 And when he had given them their provisions, he said, ‘Bring me a certain brother (Benjamin) from your father. Do you not see that I give just measure and am the best of hosts?

# وَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِأَخٍ لَّكُم مِّنْ أَبِيكُمْ أَلاَ تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي أُوفِي الكَيْلَ وَأَنَا خَيْرُ المُنزِلِينَ 59

12:60 If you do not bring him to me, you shall receive no measure (of corn) from me, nor shall you come near me (again).’

# فَإِن لَّمْ تَأْتُونِي بِهِ فَلاَ كَيْلَ لَكُمْ عِندِي وَلاَ تَقْرَبُونِ 60

12:61 They replied, ‘We will ask our father for him. This we will surely do.’

# قَالُوا سَنُرَاوِدُ عَنْهُ أَبَاهُ وَإِنَّا لَفَاعِلُونَ 61

12:62 Then he (Joseph) said to his attendants, ‘Put their merchandise in their saddlebags, hopefully they will recognize it when they return to their people. Perhaps they will come back.’

# وَقَالَ لِفِتْيَانِهِ اجْعَلُوا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ فِي رِحَالِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَهَا إِذَا انقَلَبُوا إِلَى أَهْلِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ 62

 

|@ Joseph’s brothers tell their father of Joseph’s request 12:63-68

12:63 When they returned to their father, they said, ‘Father, we have been denied the measure. Send our brother with us and we shall receive our measure. We will indeed look after him.’

# فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوا إِلَى أَبِيهِمْ قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا الكَيْلُ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا أَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ 63

12:64 He replied, ‘Am I to trust you with him as I once trusted you with his brother? Why, Allah is the Best of guardians, and He is the Most Merciful of the Merciful.’

# قَالَ هَلْ آمَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ كَمَا أَمِنتُكُمْ عَلَى أَخِيهِ مِن قَبْلُ فَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَافِظاً وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ 64

12:65 When they opened their saddlebags, they found that their merchandise had been given back to them. ‘Father,’ they said ‘what more do we desire? Look, our merchandise has been returned to us. We will receive provisions for our family and we will look after our brother. We shall receive an extra camel-load, that is an easy measure.’

# وَلَمَّا فَتَحُوا مَتَاعَهُمْ وَجَدُوا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِي هَذِهِ بِضَاعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ إِلَيْنَا وَنَمِيرُ أَهْلَنَا وَنَحْفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنَزْدَادُ كَيْلَ بَعِيرٍ ذَلِكَ كَيْلٌ يَسِيرٌ 65

12:66 He replied, ‘I will never send him with you until you swear by Allah that you will bring him back to me, unless you are prevented.’ And when they had given him their oath, he said, ‘Allah is the Guardian of what we say.’

# قَالَ لَنْ أُرْسِلَهُ مَعَكُمْ حَتَّى تُؤْتُونِ مَوْثِقاً مِّنَ اللَّهِ لَتَأْتُنَّنِي بِهِ إِلاَّ أَن يُحَاطَ بِكُمْ فَلَمَّا آتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ 66

12:67 Then he said, ‘My sons, do not enter from one gate. Enter through different gates. I cannot be of any help to you against Allah; judgement belongs to Allah alone. In Him I have put my trust. In Him let all put their trust.’

# وَقَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ لاَ تَدْخُلُوا مِنْ بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ وَادْخُلُوا مِنْ أَبْوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍ وَمَا أُغْنِي عَنكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ إِنِ الحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ المُتَوَكِّلُونَ 67

12:68 And when they entered from where their father had instructed them, nothing helped them against (the decree of) Allah. It was but a need in Jacob’s soul which he had fulfilled. He possessed knowledge because of what We had taught him, though most people do not know.

# وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغْنِي عَنْهُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ حَاجَةً فِي نَفْسِ يَعْقُوبَ قَضَاهَا وَإِنَّهُ لَذُو عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ 68

 

|@ Joseph makes himself known to his brother 12:69

12:69 When they presented themselves before Joseph, he took his brother in his arms, and said, ‘I am your brother. Do not grieve at what they did.’

# وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَى يُوسُفَ آوَى إِلَيْهِ أَخَاهُ قَالَ إِنِّي أَنَا أَخُوكَ فَلاَ تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ 69

 

|@ Allah directs Joseph to hide a goblet in his brother’s saddlebag 12:70-79

12:70 And when he had given them their provisions, he hid a drinking-cup in his brother’s saddlebag. Then a herald called out after them, ‘Cameleers, you are thieves!’

# فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُمْ بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ السِّقَايَةَ فِي رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا العِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَارِقُونَ 70

12:71 They turned back and asked, ‘What have you lost?’

# قَالُوا وَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَيْهِم مَّاذَا تَفْقِدُونَ 71

12:72 ‘We are missing the goblet of the king,’ he replied. ‘Whosoever restores it shall have a camel load, that I guarantee.’

# قَالُوا نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ المَلِكِ وَلِمَن جَاءَ بِهِ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍ وَأَنَا بِهِ زَعِيمٌ 72

12:73 ‘By Allah,’ they said, ‘you know we did not come to do evil in this land. We are not thieves.’

# قَالُوا تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا كُنَّا سَارِقِينَ 73

12:74 They said, ‘What shall be the recompense, if you prove to be lying?’

# قَالُوا فَمَا جَزَاؤُهُ إِن كُنتُمْ كَاذِبِـينَ 74

12:75 They replied, ‘Its recompense in whosoever’s saddle bag it is found, he shall be its recompense. As such we punish the harm doers.’

# قَالُوا جَزَاؤُهُ مَن وُجِدَ فِي رَحْلِهِ فَهُوَ جَزَاؤُهُ كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ 75

12:76 He searched their bags before his brother’s and then took out the goblet from his brother’s bag. As such We directed Joseph. By the king’s law he had no right to seize his brother unless Allah willed otherwise. We raise whom We will in rank; over every knowledgeable person is One who knows.

# فَبَدَأَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وَعَاءِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِن وَعَاءِ أَخِيهِ كَذَلِكَ كِدْنَا لِيُوسُفَ مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِي دِينِ المَلِكِ إِلاَّ أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَّن نَّشَاءُ وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِي عِلْمٍ عَلِيمٌ 76

12:77 They said, ‘If he is a thief know then that a brother of his has committed theft before him.’ But Joseph kept it secret and did not reveal it to them. He said, ‘You are in a worse position. And Allah knows well what you describe.’

# قَالُوا إِن يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخٌ لَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْ قَالَ أَنتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَاناً وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ 77

12:78 They said, ‘Mighty prince, his father is old, advanced in years, take one of us instead of him. We can see you are amongst the good doers.’

# قَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا العَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُ أَباً شَيْخاً كَبِيراً فَخُذْ أَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهُ إِنَّا نَرَاكَ مِنَ المُحْسِنِينَ 78

12:79 He replied, ‘Allah forbid that we should seize any but he with whom our property was found, for then we should be harm doers.’

# قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَن نَّأْخُذَ إِلاَّ مَن وَجَدْنَا مَتَاعَنَا عِندَهُ إِنَّا إِذاً لَّظَالِمُونَ 79

 

|@ Joseph’s brothers return to their father, Jacob 12:80-87

12:80 When they despaired of him, they went in private to confer together. The eldest said, ‘Do you not know that your father took a pledge from you in the Name of Allah, and that you failed before regarding Joseph? I shall never stir from this land until my father gives me leave or Allah makes known to me His judgement, He is the Best of judges.

# فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْأَسُوا مِنْهُ خَلَصُوا نَجِياً قَالَ كَبِيرُهُمْ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُم مَّوْثِقاً مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمْ فِي يُوسُفَ فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ الأَرْضَ حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ لِي أَبِي أَوْ يَحْكُمَ اللَّهُ لِي وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الحَاكِمِينَ 80

12:81 Return, all of you to your father and say to him, “Father, your son has committed a theft. We testify only to what we know. How could we guard against the unforeseen?

# ارْجِعُوا إِلَى أَبِيكُمْ فَقُولُوا يَا أَبَانَا إِنَّ ابْنَكَ سَرَقَ وَمَا شَهِدْنَا إِلاَّ بِمَا عَلِمْنَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِلْغَيْبِ حَافِظِينَ 81

12:82 Ask the village where we were and the caravan in which we traveled, we speak the truth.”‘

# وَاسْأَلِ القَرْيَةَ الَتِي كُنَّا فِيهَا وَالْعِيرَ الَتِي أَقْبَلْنَا فِيهَا وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ 82

12:83 ‘No’ he (Jacob) said, ‘your souls have tempted you to do something. But come sweet patience. Allah may bring them all to me. He alone is the Knowing, the Wise.’

# قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْراً فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَن يَأْتِيَنِي بِهِمْ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ هُوَ العَلِيمُ الحَكِيمُ 83

 

|@ The grief of Jacob 12:84-87

12:84 And he turned away and said, ‘Alas for Joseph!’ His eyes turned white with the grief he repressed within him.

# وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا أَسَفَى عَلَى يُوسُفَ وَابْيَضَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ مِنَ الحُزْنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ 84

12:85 They said, ‘By Allah, will you not cease to mention Joseph until you are consumed, or are among the perishing?’

# قَالُوا تَاللَّهِ تَفْتَأُ تَذْكُرُ يُوسُفَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ حَرَضاً أَوْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الهَالِكِينَ 85

12:86 He replied, ‘I complain to Allah of my anguish and sadness. I know from Allah what you do not know.

# قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ 86

12:87 Go and seek news of Joseph and his brother. Do not despair of the Comfort of Allah, none but unbelievers despair of the Comfort of Allah.’

# يَا بَنِيَّ اذْهَبُوا فَتَحَسَّسُوا مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلاَ تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ القَوْمُ الكَافِرُونَ 87

 

|@ Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers 12:88-92

12:88 And when they presented themselves before him they said, ‘O mighty prince, we and our people are afflicted with distress. We have brought but little merchandise. Fill up the measure, and be charitable to us; Allah rewards the charitable.’

# فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ قَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا العَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهْلَنَا الضُّرُّ وَجِئْنَا بِبِضَاعَةٍ مُّزْجَاةٍ فَأَوْفِ لَنَا الكَيْلَ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْزِي المُتَصَدِّقِينَ 88

12:89 ‘Do you know’ he replied, ‘what you did to Joseph and his brother in your ignorance?’

# قَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا فَعَلْتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذْ أَنتُمْ جَاهِلُونَ 89

12:90 They said, ‘Are you Joseph?’ ‘I am Joseph,’ he answered, ‘and this is my brother. Allah has been gracious to us. Those who keep from evil and are patient, indeed, Allah does not let the wage of the good doers go to waste.’

# قَالُوا أَئِنَّكَ لأَنْتَ يُوسُفُ قَالَ أَنَا يُوسُفُ وَهَذَا أَخِي قَدْ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّهُ مَن يَتَّقِ وَيَصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ المُحْسِنِينَ 90

12:91 ‘By Allah,’ they said, ‘Allah has preferred you above us all. We have indeed been sinful.’

# قَالُوا تَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ آثَرَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِن كُنَّا لَخَاطِئِينَ 91

12:92 He replied, ‘Let no reproach be on you this day. Allah will forgive you He is the Most Merciful of the merciful.

# قَالَ لاَ تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ اليَوْمَ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ 92

 

|@ Joseph tells his brothers to return home and bring the rest of his family to Egypt 12:93

12:93 Go, take this shirt of mine and cast it over my father’s face, he will recover his sight. Then return to me with all your family.’

# اذْهَبُوا بِقَمِيصِي هَذَا فَأَلْقُوهُ عَلَى وَجْهِ أَبِي يَأْتِ بَصِيراً وَأْتُونِي بِأَهْلِكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ 93

 

|@ Jacob smells Joseph’s fragrance before his brothers arrive with his shirt 12:94-98

12:94 As the caravan departed, their father said, ‘I smell the scent of Joseph, unless you think I am foolish.’

# وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ العِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوَهُمْ إِنِّي لأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ لَوْلا أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ 94

12:95 ‘By Allah, ‘they said, ‘this is but your old illusion.’

# قَالُوا تَاللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَفِي ضَلالِكَ القَدِيمِ 95

12:96 And when the bearer of glad tidings arrived, he laid Joseph’s shirt over him, and he saw once again. He said, ‘Did I not tell you that I know from Allah what you do not know?’

# فَلَمَّا أَن جَاءَ البَشِيرُ أَلْقَاهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَارْتَدَّ بَصِيراً قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ 96

12:97 His sons said, ‘Father, ask forgiveness for our sins. We have indeed been sinners.’

# قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا اسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا خَاطِئِينَ 97

12:98 He said, ‘I shall ask my Lord to forgive you. He is Forgiving, the Most Merciful.’

# قَالَ سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّي إِنَّهُ هُوَ الغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ 98

 

|@ Joseph’s vision is fulfilled as his family are established in Egypt 12:99-101

12:99 And when they entered before Joseph, he took his father and mother into his arms and said, ‘Welcome to Egypt, safe, if Allah wills!’

# فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَى يُوسُفَ آوَى إِلَيْهِ أَبَوَيْهِ وَقَالَ ادْخُلُوا مِصْرَ إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ آمِنِينَ 99

12:100 He lifted his parents to the throne, and (the others) bowed before him. Joseph said to his father, ‘This is the meaning of my vision of long ago, my Lord has verified it. He has been gracious to me. He brought me out of prison and brought you out of the desert after satan had corrupted (the relationship) between me and my brothers. My Lord is Gentle to whom He will. He alone is the Knower, the Wise.

# وَرَفَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ عَلَى العَرْشِ وَخَرُّوا لَهُ سُجَّداً وَقَالَ يَا أَبَتِ هَذَا تَأْوِيلُ رُؤْيَايَ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّي حَقاًّ وَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ بِي إِذْ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنَ السِّجْنِ وَجَاءَ بِكُم مِّنَ البَدْوِ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَن نَّزَغَ الشَّيْطَانُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ إِخْوَتِي إِنَّ رَبِّي لَطِيفٌ لِّمَا يَشَاءُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ العَلِيمُ الحَكِيمُ 100

 

|@ Joseph supplicates to Allah to be permitted to die in submission as a Muslim 12:101-4

12:101 Lord, You have given me the kingdom and taught me to interpret visions. Originator of the heavens and the earth, my Guardian in this world and in the Everlasting Life. Let me die in submission (as a Muslim) and let me join the righteous.’

# رَبِّ قَدْ آتَيْتَنِي مِنَ المُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِي مِن تَأْوِيلِ الأَحَادِيثِ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ أَنْتَ وَلِيِّي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ تَوَفَّنِي مُسْلِماً وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ 101

12:102 That is of the news We reveal to you (Prophet Muhammad) of the unseen. You were not present when they agreed upon their plan, scheming.

# ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنبَاءِ الغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَ 102

 

$ Most people do not believe in Allah, but associate others with Him 12:103-107

12:103 Even though you are so eager, most people will not believe.

# وَمَا أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ 103

12:104 You shall ask no wage for it. It is nothing except a reminder to all mankind.

# وَمَا تَسْأَلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ 104

 

|@ The signs of Allah 12:105-106

12:105 How many signs in the heavens and earth do they pass by and turn away from.

# وَكَأَيِّن مِّنْ آيَةٍ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضُونَ 10

12:106 And most of them do not believe in Allah, but they associate others with Him.

# وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِاللَّهِ إِلاَّ وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ 106

12:107 Do they feel secure that the punishment of Allah will envelop them, or that the Hour will overtake them suddenly when they are unaware?

# أَفَأَمِنُوا أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ غَاشِيَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ أَوْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ 107

 

|@ Prophet Muhammad calls to Allah with sure knowledge 12:108-109

12:108 Say, ‘This is my Path. I (Prophet Muhammad ) call to Allah with sure knowledge, I and my followers. Exaltations be to Allah! I am not among the idolaters. ‘

# قُلْ هَذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ المُشْرِكِينَ 108

12:109 We did not send any before you from the inhabitants of the village, but men to whom a revelation was sent. Have they not traveled in the land and seen what was the end of those before them? Better is the dwelling in the Everlasting Life for those who keep from evil. Do you not understand?

# وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلاَّ رِجَالاً نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَهْلِ القُرَى أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَدَارُ الآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ 109

 

|@ When the messengers of Allah were belied Allah sent down His help 12:110

12:110 And when at length Our Messengers despaired and reckoned that they would be belied, Our help came down to them, saving whom We pleased. Our Might cannot be withheld from the guilty nation.

# حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا جَاءَهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّيَ مَن نَّشَاءُ وَلاَ يُرَدُّ بَأْسُنَا عَنِ القَوْمِ المُجْرِمِينَ 110

 

|@ The stories in the Koran were sent as guidance and mercy 12:111

12:111 Indeed, in their stories is a lesson for those of understanding. This is no forged tale, rather, it is a confirmation of the previous, a distinguishing of all things, a guidance and a mercy to a nation who believe.

# لَقَدْ كَانَ فِي قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لأُوْلِي الأَلْبَابِ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثاً يُفْتَرَى وَلَكِن تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ 111
