In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful | | بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ |
aliflaamra. those are the verses of the clear book. (1) | | الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ ﴿1﴾ |
we have sent it down, an arabic koran, in order that you understand. (2) | | إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿2﴾ |
in the sending down of this koran, we will narrate to you (prophet muhammad) the best of narratives, of which you were previously unaware. (3) | | نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ بِمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ وَإِن كُنتَ مِن قَبْلِهِ لَمِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ ﴿3﴾ |
when joseph said to his father: 'father, i saw eleven planets, and the sun and the moon; i saw them prostrating themselves before me. ' (4) | | إِذْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَا أَبتِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِي سَاجِدِينَ ﴿4﴾ |
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, (5) | | قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ لاَ تَقْصُصْ رُؤْيَاكَ عَلَى إِخْوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُواْ لَكَ كَيْدًا إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لِلإِنسَانِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿5﴾ |
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. (6) | | 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﴾ |
indeed, in joseph and his brothers there were signs for those who inquire. (7) | | لَّقَدْ كَانَ فِي يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتِهِ آيَاتٌ لِّلسَّائِلِينَ ﴿7﴾ |
they said: 'joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than ourselves, even though we are many. truly, our father is obviously wrong. (8) | | إِذْ قَالُواْ لَيُوسُفُ وَأَخُوهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَى أَبِينَا مِنَّا وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّ أَبَانَا لَفِي ضَلاَلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿8﴾ |
(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. ' (9) | | اقْتُلُواْ يُوسُفَ أَوِ اطْرَحُوهُ أَرْضًا يَخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ أَبِيكُمْ وَتَكُونُواْ مِن بَعْدِهِ قَوْمًا صَالِحِينَ ﴿9﴾ |
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. ' (10) | | قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مَّنْهُمْ لاَ تَقْتُلُواْ يُوسُفَ وَأَلْقُوهُ فِي غَيَابَةِ الْجُبِّ يَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ السَّيَّارَةِ إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ ﴿10﴾ |
they said: 'father, what is the matter with you, do you not trust us with joseph? indeed, we are sincere advisors. (11) | | قَالُواْ يَا أَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لاَ تَأْمَنَّا عَلَى يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَنَاصِحُونَ ﴿11﴾ |
send him with us tomorrow to frolic and play. we will look after him. ' (12) | | أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا يَرْتَعْ وَيَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ﴿12﴾ |
he said: 'it grieves me to let him go with you, for i fear lest the wolf should devour him when you are not paying attention to him. ' (13) | | قَالَ إِنِّي لَيَحْزُنُنِي أَن تَذْهَبُواْ بِهِ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَأَنتُمْ عَنْهُ غَافِلُونَ ﴿13﴾ |
they said: 'we are many, if a wolf devours him, then we are losers! ' (14) | | قَالُواْ لَئِنْ أَكَلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّا إِذًا لَّخَاسِرُونَ ﴿14﴾ |
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). ' (15) | | فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُواْ بِهِ وَأَجْمَعُواْ أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِي غَيَابَةِ الْجُبِّ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَذَا وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿15﴾ |
at nightfall, they returned weeping to their father. (16) | | وَجَاؤُواْ أَبَاهُمْ عِشَاء يَبْكُونَ ﴿16﴾ |
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. ' (17) | | قَالُواْ يَا أَبَانَا إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَاعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَمَا أَنتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لِّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَادِقِينَ ﴿17﴾ |
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. ' (18) | | وَجَآؤُوا عَلَى قَمِيصِهِ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَاللّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ ﴿18﴾ |
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. (19) | | وَجَاءتْ سَيَّارَةٌ فَأَرْسَلُواْ وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَى دَلْوَهُ قَالَ يَا بُشْرَى هَذَا غُلاَمٌ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَاعَةً وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿19﴾ |
then, they sold him for a trifling price, a number of dirhams, because they considered him to be of little value. (20) | | وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍ بَخْسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَكَانُواْ فِيهِ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِينَ ﴿20﴾ |
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. (21) | | وَقَالَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لاِمْرَأَتِهِ أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ عَسَى أَن يَنفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنِّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الأَحَادِيثِ وَاللّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَى أَمْرِهِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿21﴾ |
and when he reached maturity, we bestowed on him judgment and knowledge. as such we recompense those who do good. (22) | | وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ آتَيْنَاهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿22﴾ |
and she, in whose house he 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. harmdoers never prosper. ' (23) | | وَرَاوَدَتْهُ الَّتِي هُوَ فِي بَيْتِهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِ وَغَلَّقَتِ الأَبْوَابَ وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّهِ إِنَّهُ رَبِّي أَحْسَنَ مَثْوَايَ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ ﴿23﴾ |
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. (24) | | وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلا أَن رَّأَى بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهِ كَذَلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوءَ وَالْفَحْشَاء إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴿24﴾ |
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! ' (25) | | وَاسُتَبَقَا الْبَابَ وَقَدَّتْ قَمِيصَهُ مِن دُبُرٍ وَأَلْفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَى الْبَابِ قَالَتْ مَا جَزَاء مَنْ أَرَادَ بِأَهْلِكَ سُوَءًا إِلاَّ أَن يُسْجَنَ أَوْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿25﴾ |
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, (26) | | قَالَ هِيَ رَاوَدَتْنِي عَن نَّفْسِي وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا إِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُ قُدَّ مِن قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ الكَاذِبِينَ ﴿26﴾ |
but, if his shirt is torn from behind, she lied, and he is of the truthful. ' (27) | | وَإِنْ كَانَ قَمِيصُهُ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتْ وَهُوَ مِن الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿27﴾ |
and when he saw his shirt torn at the back, he said: 'this is one of your (women's) guiles. your guile, (o woman), is great indeed! (28) | | فَلَمَّا رَأَى قَمِيصَهُ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُ مِن كَيْدِكُنَّ إِنَّ كَيْدَكُنَّ عَظِيمٌ ﴿28﴾ |
joseph, turn away from this. and you, ask forgiveness for your sin. you are indeed one of the sinners. ' (29) | | يُوسُفُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَذَا وَاسْتَغْفِرِي لِذَنبِكِ إِنَّكِ كُنتِ مِنَ الْخَاطِئِينَ ﴿29﴾ |
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. ' (30) | | وَقَالَ نِسْوَةٌ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ امْرَأَةُ الْعَزِيزِ تُرَاوِدُ فَتَاهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِ قَدْ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّا إِنَّا لَنَرَاهَا فِي ضَلاَلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿30﴾ |
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! ' (31) | | فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَأً وَآتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّينًا وَقَالَتِ اخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُ أَكْبَرْنَهُ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّهِ مَا هَذَا بَشَرًا إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ ﴿31﴾ |
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. ' (32) | | قَالَتْ فَذَلِكُنَّ الَّذِي لُمْتُنَّنِي فِيهِ وَلَقَدْ رَاوَدتُّهُ عَن نَّفْسِهِ فَاسَتَعْصَمَ وَلَئِن لَّمْ يَفْعَلْ مَا آمُرُهُ لَيُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُونًا مِّنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ ﴿32﴾ |
he 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. ' (33) | | قَالَ رَبِّ السِّجْنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا يَدْعُونَنِي إِلَيْهِ وَإِلاَّ تَصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُنَّ أَصْبُ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَكُن مِّنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ ﴿33﴾ |
his lord answered him and he turned their guile away from him. indeed, he is the hearer, the knower. (34) | | فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُ رَبُّهُ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ كَيْدَهُنَّ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ﴿34﴾ |
then it seemed good to them, even after they had seen the signs, that they should imprison him for some time. (35) | | ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُم مِّن بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوُاْ الآيَاتِ لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُ حَتَّى حِينٍ ﴿35﴾ |
two young men went to prison with him. 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. ' (36) | | وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجْنَ فَتَيَانَ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَآ إِنِّي أَرَانِي أَعْصِرُ خَمْرًا وَقَالَ الآخَرُ إِنِّي أَرَانِي أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي خُبْزًا تَأْكُلُ الطَّيْرُ مِنْهُ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِ إِنَّا نَرَاكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿36﴾ |
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. (37) | | قَالَ لاَ يَأْتِيكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقَانِهِ إِلاَّ نَبَّأْتُكُمَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتِيكُمَا ذَلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِي رَبِّي إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لاَّ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللّهِ وَهُم بِالآخِرَةِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ ﴿37﴾ |
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. (38) | | وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ آبَآئِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ مَا كَانَ لَنَا أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِاللّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ذَلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ اللّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿38﴾ |
my fellowprisoners, say which is better, many gods at variance, or allah the one, the conqueror? (39) | | يَا صَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ أَأَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ اللّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ ﴿39﴾ |
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. (40) | | مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلاَّ أَسْمَاء سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَآؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلّهِ أَمَرَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿40﴾ |
my fellowprisoners, 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. (41) | | يَا صَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ أَمَّا أَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسْقِي رَبَّهُ خَمْرًا وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَيُصْلَبُ فَتَأْكُلُ الطَّيْرُ مِن رَّأْسِهِ قُضِيَ الأَمْرُ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ ﴿41﴾ |
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 years. (42) | | وَقَالَ لِلَّذِي ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا اذْكُرْنِي عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِ فَلَبِثَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ ﴿42﴾ |
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. ' (43) | | وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ إِنِّي أَرَى سَبْعَ بَقَرَاتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعَ سُنبُلاَتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَاتٍ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلأُ أَفْتُونِي فِي رُؤْيَايَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّؤْيَا تَعْبُرُونَ ﴿43﴾ |
they said: 'they are confused nightmares, nor do we know anything of the interpretation of visions. ' (44) | | قَالُواْ أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلاَمٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ الأَحْلاَمِ بِعَالِمِينَ ﴿44﴾ |
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. ' (45) | | وَقَالَ الَّذِي نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَادَّكَرَ بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ أَنَاْ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِتَأْوِيلِهِ فَأَرْسِلُونِ ﴿45﴾ |
(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. ' (46) | | يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُ أَفْتِنَا فِي سَبْعِ بَقَرَاتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعِ سُنبُلاَتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَاتٍ لَّعَلِّي أَرْجِعُ إِلَى النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿46﴾ |
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. (47) | | قَالَ تَزْرَعُونَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ دَأَبًا فَمَا حَصَدتُّمْ فَذَرُوهُ فِي سُنبُلِهِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ ﴿47﴾ |
thereafter, seven hard years will come upon you, which will consume all but little of that which you have stored. (48) | | ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلاَّ قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ ﴿48﴾ |
then, there will come a year in which people are helped, in which the people will press. ' (49) | | ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ عَامٌ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَفِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ ﴿49﴾ |
the king said: 'bring him 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. ' (50) | | وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ فَلَمَّا جَاءهُ الرَّسُولُ قَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَاسْأَلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ اللاَّتِي قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ إِنَّ رَبِّي بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌ ﴿50﴾ |
'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. (51) | | قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ إِذْ رَاوَدتُّنَّ يُوسُفَ عَن نَّفْسِهِ قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِن سُوءٍ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ الْعَزِيزِ الآنَ حَصْحَصَ الْحَقُّ أَنَاْ رَاوَدتُّهُ عَن نَّفْسِهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ ﴿51﴾ |
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. (52) | | ذَلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَخُنْهُ بِالْغَيْبِ وَأَنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يَهْدِي كَيْدَ الْخَائِنِينَ ﴿52﴾ |
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. ' (53) | | وَمَا أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِي إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لأَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ إِلاَّ مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّيَ إِنَّ رَبِّي غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿53﴾ |
the king said: 'bring him 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. ' (54) | | وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِي فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مِكِينٌ أَمِينٌ ﴿54﴾ |
he (joseph) said: 'give me charge of the storehouses of the land, i am a knowledgeable guardian. ' (55) | | قَالَ اجْعَلْنِي عَلَى خَزَآئِنِ الأَرْضِ إِنِّي حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿55﴾ |
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. (56) | | وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنِّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَاء وَلاَ نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿56﴾ |
indeed, the reward of the everlasting life is better for those who believe and are cautious. (57) | | وَلَأَجْرُ الآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَكَانُواْ يَتَّقُونَ ﴿57﴾ |
joseph's brothers came and presented themselves before him. he recognized them, but they did not know him. (58) | | وَجَاء إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ فَدَخَلُواْ عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُ مُنكِرُونَ ﴿58﴾ |
and when he had given them their provisions, he said: 'bring me a certain brother from your father. do you not see that i give just measure and am the best of hosts? (59) | | وَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِأَخٍ لَّكُم مِّنْ أَبِيكُمْ أَلاَ تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي أُوفِي الْكَيْلَ وَأَنَاْ خَيْرُ الْمُنزِلِينَ ﴿59﴾ |
if you do not bring him to me, you shall receive no measure (of corn) from me, nor shall you come near me (again). ' (60) | | فَإِن لَّمْ تَأْتُونِي بِهِ فَلاَ كَيْلَ لَكُمْ عِندِي وَلاَ تَقْرَبُونِ ﴿60﴾ |
they replied: 'we will ask our father for him. this we will surely do. ' (61) | | قَالُواْ سَنُرَاوِدُ عَنْهُ أَبَاهُ وَإِنَّا لَفَاعِلُونَ ﴿61﴾ |
then he 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. ' (62) | | وَقَالَ لِفِتْيَانِهِ اجْعَلُواْ بِضَاعَتَهُمْ فِي رِحَالِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَهَا إِذَا انقَلَبُواْ إِلَى أَهْلِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ﴿62﴾ |
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. ' (63) | | فَلَمَّا رَجِعُوا إِلَى أَبِيهِمْ قَالُواْ يَا أَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا الْكَيْلُ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا أَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ ﴿63﴾ |
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. ' (64) | | قَالَ هَلْ آمَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ كَمَا أَمِنتُكُمْ عَلَى أَخِيهِ مِن قَبْلُ فَاللّهُ خَيْرٌ حَافِظًا وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ﴿64﴾ |
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 camelload, that is an easy measure. ' (65) | | وَلَمَّا فَتَحُواْ مَتَاعَهُمْ وَجَدُواْ بِضَاعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالُواْ يَا أَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِي هَذِهِ بِضَاعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ إِلَيْنَا وَنَمِيرُ أَهْلَنَا وَنَحْفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنَزْدَادُ كَيْلَ بَعِيرٍ ذَلِكَ كَيْلٌ يَسِيرٌ ﴿65﴾ |
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. ' (66) | | قَالَ لَنْ أُرْسِلَهُ مَعَكُمْ حَتَّى تُؤْتُونِ مَوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللّهِ لَتَأْتُنَّنِي بِهِ إِلاَّ أَن يُحَاطَ بِكُمْ فَلَمَّا آتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ قَالَ اللّهُ عَلَى مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ ﴿66﴾ |
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. ' (67) | | وَقَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ لاَ تَدْخُلُواْ مِن بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ وَادْخُلُواْ مِنْ أَبْوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍ وَمَا أُغْنِي عَنكُم مِّنَ اللّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ لِلّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ﴿67﴾ |
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. (68) | | وَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغْنِي عَنْهُم مِّنَ اللّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ حَاجَةً فِي نَفْسِ يَعْقُوبَ قَضَاهَا وَإِنَّهُ لَذُو عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿68﴾ |
when they presented themselves before joseph, he his brother in his arms, and said: 'i am your brother. do not grieve at what they did. ' (69) | | وَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَى يُوسُفَ آوَى إِلَيْهِ أَخَاهُ قَالَ إِنِّي أَنَاْ أَخُوكَ فَلاَ تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ ﴿69﴾ |
and when he had given them their provisions, he hid a drinkingcup in his brother's saddlebag. then a herald called out after them: 'cameleers, you are thieves!' (70) | | فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ السِّقَايَةَ فِي رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا الْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَارِقُونَ ﴿70﴾ |
they turned back and asked: 'what have you lost? ' (71) | | قَالُواْ وَأَقْبَلُواْ عَلَيْهِم مَّاذَا تَفْقِدُونَ ﴿71﴾ |
'we are missing the goblet of the king, ' he replied. 'whosoever restores it shall have a camelload, that i guarantee. ' (72) | | قَالُواْ نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ الْمَلِكِ وَلِمَن جَاء بِهِ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍ وَأَنَاْ بِهِ زَعِيمٌ ﴿72﴾ |
'by allah, ' they said, 'you know we did not come to do evil in this land. we are not thieves. ' (73) | | قَالُواْ تَاللّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِي الأَرْضِ وَمَا كُنَّا سَارِقِينَ ﴿73﴾ |
they said: 'what shall be the recompense, if you prove to be lying? ' (74) | | قَالُواْ فَمَا جَزَآؤُهُ إِن كُنتُمْ كَاذِبِينَ ﴿74﴾ |
they replied: 'its recompense in whosoever's saddle bag it is found, he shall be its recompense. as such we punish the harmdoers. ' (75) | | قَالُواْ جَزَآؤُهُ مَن وُجِدَ فِي رَحْلِهِ فَهُوَ جَزَاؤُهُ كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ ﴿75﴾ |
he searched their bags before his brother's and then 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. (76) | | فَبَدَأَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَاء أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِن وِعَاء أَخِيهِ كَذَلِكَ كِدْنَا لِيُوسُفَ مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِي دِينِ الْمَلِكِ إِلاَّ أَن يَشَاءَ اللّهُ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مِّن نَّشَاء وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِي عِلْمٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿76﴾ |
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. ' (77) | | قَالُواْ إِن يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخٌ لَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْ قَالَ أَنتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَاللّهُ أَعْلَمْ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ ﴿77﴾ |
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 gooddoers. ' (78) | | قَالُواْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْعَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُ أَبًا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا فَخُذْ أَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهُ إِنَّا نَرَاكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿78﴾ |
he replied: 'allah forbid that we should seize any but he with whom our property was found, for then we should be harmdoers. ' (79) | | قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّهِ أَن نَّأْخُذَ إِلاَّ مَن وَجَدْنَا مَتَاعَنَا عِندَهُ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّظَالِمُونَ ﴿79﴾ |
when they despaired of him, they went in private to confer together. the eldest said: 'do you not know that your father 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. (80) | | فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْأَسُواْ مِنْهُ خَلَصُواْ نَجِيًّا قَالَ كَبِيرُهُمْ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُم مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللّهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمْ فِي يُوسُفَ فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ الأَرْضَ حَتَّىَ يَأْذَنَ لِي أَبِي أَوْ يَحْكُمَ اللّهُ لِي وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ ﴿80﴾ |
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? (81) | | ارْجِعُواْ إِلَى أَبِيكُمْ فَقُولُواْ يَا أَبَانَا إِنَّ ابْنَكَ سَرَقَ وَمَا شَهِدْنَا إِلاَّ بِمَا عَلِمْنَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِلْغَيْبِ حَافِظِينَ ﴿81﴾ |
ask the village where we were and the caravan in which we traveled, we speak the truth. ' (82) | | وَاسْأَلِ الْقَرْيَةَ الَّتِي كُنَّا فِيهَا وَالْعِيْرَ الَّتِي أَقْبَلْنَا فِيهَا وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ ﴿82﴾ |
'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. ' (83) | | قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ عَسَى اللّهُ أَن يَأْتِيَنِي بِهِمْ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿83﴾ |
and he turned away and said: 'alas for joseph! ' his eyes turned white with the grief he repressed within him. (84) | | وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَا أَسَفَى عَلَى يُوسُفَ وَابْيَضَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ ﴿84﴾ |
they said: 'by allah, will you not cease to mention joseph until you are consumed, or are among the perishing? ' (85) | | قَالُواْ تَالله تَفْتَأُ تَذْكُرُ يُوسُفَ حَتَّى تَكُونَ حَرَضًا أَوْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الْهَالِكِينَ ﴿85﴾ |
he replied: 'i complain to allah of my anguish and sadness. i know from allah what you do not know. (86) | | قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿86﴾ |
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. ' (87) | | يَا بَنِيَّ اذْهَبُواْ فَتَحَسَّسُواْ مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلاَ تَيْأَسُواْ مِن رَّوْحِ اللّهِ إِنَّهُ لاَ يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللّهِ إِلاَّ الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ ﴿87﴾ |
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. ' (88) | | فَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَيْهِ قَالُواْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْعَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهْلَنَا الضُّرُّ وَجِئْنَا بِبِضَاعَةٍ مُّزْجَاةٍ فَأَوْفِ لَنَا الْكَيْلَ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْنَآ إِنَّ اللّهَ يَجْزِي الْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ ﴿88﴾ |
'do you know' he replied, 'what you did to joseph and his brother in your ignorance? ' (89) | | قَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا فَعَلْتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذْ أَنتُمْ جَاهِلُونَ ﴿89﴾ |
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. ' (90) | | قَالُواْ أَإِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ يُوسُفُ قَالَ أَنَاْ يُوسُفُ وَهَذَا أَخِي قَدْ مَنَّ اللّهُ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّهُ مَن يَتَّقِ وَيِصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ ﴿90﴾ |
'by allah, ' they said, 'allah has preferred you above us all. we have indeed been sinful. ' (91) | | قَالُواْ تَاللّهِ لَقَدْ آثَرَكَ اللّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِن كُنَّا لَخَاطِئِينَ ﴿91﴾ |
he replied: 'let no reproach be on you this day. allah will forgive you he is the most merciful of the merciful. (92) | | قَالَ لاَ تَثْرَيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ يَغْفِرُ اللّهُ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ﴿92﴾ |
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. ' (93) | | اذْهَبُواْ بِقَمِيصِي هَذَا فَأَلْقُوهُ عَلَى وَجْهِ أَبِي يَأْتِ بَصِيرًا وَأْتُونِي بِأَهْلِكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ﴿93﴾ |
as the caravan departed, their father said: 'i smell the scent of joseph, unless you think i am foolish. ' (94) | | وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ الْعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ لَوْلاَ أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ ﴿94﴾ |
'by allah, ' they said, 'this is but your old illusion. ' (95) | | قَالُواْ تَاللّهِ إِنَّكَ لَفِي ضَلاَلِكَ الْقَدِيمِ ﴿95﴾ |
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? ' (96) | | فَلَمَّا أَن جَاء الْبَشِيرُ أَلْقَاهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَارْتَدَّ بَصِيرًا قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللّهِ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿96﴾ |
his sons said: 'father, ask forgiveness for our sins. we have indeed been sinners. ' (97) | | قَالُواْ يَا أَبَانَا اسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا خَاطِئِينَ ﴿97﴾ |
he said: 'i shall ask my lord to forgive you. he is forgiving, the most merciful. ' (98) | | قَالَ سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّيَ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ ﴿98﴾ |
and when they entered before joseph, he his father and mother into his arms and said: 'welcome to egypt, safe, if allah wills! ' (99) | | فَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَى يُوسُفَ آوَى إِلَيْهِ أَبَوَيْهِ وَقَالَ ادْخُلُواْ مِصْرَ إِن شَاء اللّهُ آمِنِينَ ﴿99﴾ |
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. (100) | | وَرَفَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَخَرُّواْ لَهُ سُجَّدًا وَقَالَ يَا أَبَتِ هَذَا تَأْوِيلُ رُؤْيَايَ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّي حَقًّا وَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ بَي إِذْ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنَ السِّجْنِ وَجَاء بِكُم مِّنَ الْبَدْوِ مِن بَعْدِ أَن نَّزغَ الشَّيْطَانُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ إِخْوَتِي إِنَّ رَبِّي لَطِيفٌ لِّمَا يَشَاءُ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿100﴾ |
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. ' (101) | | رَبِّ قَدْ آتَيْتَنِي مِنَ الْمُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِي مِن تَأْوِيلِ الأَحَادِيثِ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ أَنتَ وَلِيِّي فِي الدُّنُيَا وَالآخِرَةِ تَوَفَّنِي مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ ﴿101﴾ |
that is of the news we reveal to you of the unseen. you were not present when they agreed upon their plan, scheming. (102) | | ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنبَاء الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُواْ أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَ ﴿102﴾ |
even though you are so eager, most people will not believe. (103) | | وَمَا أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿103﴾ |
you shall ask no wage for it. it is nothing except a reminder to all mankind. (104) | | وَمَا تَسْأَلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿104﴾ |
how many signs in the heavens and earth do they pass by and turn away from. (105) | | وَكَأَيِّن مِّن آيَةٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضُونَ ﴿105﴾ |
and most of them do not believe in allah, but they associate others with him. (106) | | وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ بِاللّهِ إِلاَّ وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ ﴿106﴾ |
do they feel secure that the punishment of allah will envelop them, or that the hour will overtake them suddenly when they are unaware? (107) | | أَفَأَمِنُواْ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ غَاشِيَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ اللّهِ أَوْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ ﴿107﴾ |
say: 'this is my path. i call to allah with sure knowledge, i and my followers. exaltations be to allah! i am not among the idolaters. ' (108) | | قُلْ هَذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُو إِلَى اللّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَاْ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي وَسُبْحَانَ اللّهِ وَمَا أَنَاْ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿108﴾ |
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? (109) | | وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلاَّ رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُواْ فِي الأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَدَارُ الآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ اتَّقَواْ أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ ﴿109﴾ |
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. (110) | | حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّواْ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُواْ جَاءهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّيَ مَن نَّشَاء وَلاَ يُرَدُّ بَأْسُنَا عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ﴿110﴾ |
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. (111) | | لَقَدْ كَانَ فِي قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِّأُوْلِي الأَلْبَابِ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثًا يُفْتَرَى وَلَكِن تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ ﴿111﴾ |
