Joseph (Yousuf)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
ALIF LAM RA. These are the verses of the immaculate Book. 1 Verily We! We have sent it down, an Arabic Recitation, that haply ye may reflect. 2 In revealing this Quran to you, We tell you the best of the stories of which you were unaware. 3 When Joseph told his father: "O my father, I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon bowing before me in homage," 4 He said: O my son! recount not thine vision unto thy brethren, lest they plot a plot against thee; verily the Satan is unto man an enemy manifest. 5 You shall be chosen by your Lord and He will impart to you some understanding of the inner meaning of events. He will bestow the full measure of His blessings upon you and upon the House of Jacob -- even as He formerly bestowed it in full measure upon your forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Truly, your Sustainer is all-knowing and wise!" 6
