In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Alif. Lam. Ra. These are the verses of the illustrious Book. 1 We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an, in order that ye may learn wisdom. 2 Through the revelation of this Qur'an We narrate the best of histories of which you were unaware before. 3 When Yusuf said to his father: O my father! surely I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon-- I saw them making obeisance to me. 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 (As you have seen in the dream), so will your Lord choose you (for His task) and will impart to you the comprehension of the deeper meaning of things and will bestow the full measure of His favour upon you and upon the house of Jacob even as He earlier bestowed it in full measure upon your forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Surely your Lord is All- Knowing, All-Wise." 6
