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 We have revealed it in the Arabic language so that you (people) would understand it. 2 Through the revelation of this Qur'an We narrate the best of histories of which you were unaware before. 3 When Joseph said to his father, 'Father, I saw eleven stars, and the sun and the moon; I saw them bowing down before me.' 4 He said, “O my child! Do not relate your dream to your brothers, for they will hatch a plot against you; indeed Satan is an open enemy towards mankind.” 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
