We relate to you the most beautiful of stories; From these (stories) We make it known to you this (part of) Quran: And before this, you were also from those who did not know it.

Remember, when Yusuf (Joseph) said to his father: "O my father! For sure, I saw (in my dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them prostrate themselves to me!"

S.V.Ahamed 12:4

5

(His father) said: "O my son! Do not tell your dream (vision) to your brothers in case, they make up a plot against you: Verily, Satan is an avowed enemy to man!

S.V.Ahamed 12:5

6

This way your Lord will choose you and teach you the interpretations of stories (and events) and complete His blessing to you and to (all) the children of Yàqoub (Jacob) Like He had completed it (His blessing) to your fathers Ibrahim (Abraham) and Isaac before! Verily your Lord is All Knowing (Aleem), All Wise (Hakeem).

S.V.Ahamed 12:6

7

Surely, in Yusuf (Joseph) and his brothers are Signs for those who ask (and search for Truth).

S.V.Ahamed 12:7

8

When they (his older half-brothers) said: "Truly Yusuf, (Joseph) and his (full) brother are loved more by our father than we are: But we have a strong group! True our father is clearly swaying (in his mind)!

S.V.Ahamed 12:8

9

You kill Yusuf (Joseph) or throw him (away) into some (unknown) land, so that your father's favor (love) will be given to you alone: After that, you become righteous!

S.V.Ahamed 12:9

10

One of them (his half brothers said): "Do not kill Yusuf (Joseph) but if you must do something, throw him down to the bottom of a well: He will be taken by some group of travelers."

S.V.Ahamed 12:10

11

They said: "O our father! Why don't you trust us with Yusuf (Joseph) Seeing we are truly his sincere well wishers?

S.V.Ahamed 12:11

12

Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play, and surely we shall take every care of him.

S.V.Ahamed 12:12

13

Yàqoub (Jacob) said: "Really it makes me sad that you should take him away: I am afraid that the wolf may eat him when you are not attending to him."

S.V.Ahamed 12:13

14

They said: "If the wolf were to eat him when we are (so large) a party, then truly we should be the losers!"

S.V.Ahamed 12:14

15

So when they did take him away, and they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well: And We put into his heart (the foretelling): "Surely, you will tell them (one day) the truth of this their affair while they do not know (you)."

S.V.Ahamed 12:15

16

And they came crying to their father in the early part of the night.

S.V.Ahamed 12:16

17

They said: "O our father! We went racing with one another, and left Yusuf (Joseph) with our things; And the wolf ate (devoured) him... But you will never believe us even though we tell the truth."

S.V.Ahamed 12:17

18

And they brought his shirt stained with false blood. He said: "No, only (you) yourselves have made up a story (that may sound alright) for you. (As for me) patience is most suitable: And against (the lie) what you keep saying, it is Allah Whose help can be prayed for..."

S.V.Ahamed 12:18

19

And there came a group of travelers: They sent their water-bearer (for water), and he let down his bucket (in the well)... He (the bearer) said: "Oh there! Good news! Here is a (handsome) boy!" So they kept him hidden like a treasure! But Allah knew well all that they did!

S.V.Ahamed 12:19

20

And the (travelers) sold him for a low price For a few dirhams (that were) counted out: They were those who held him in such a low value!

S.V.Ahamed 12:20

21

And he (the man) in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay (respectful and) honorable: Maybe he will bring us a lot of good, or we shall make him an adopted-son." Like this We made a place for Yusuf (Joseph) in the land, so that We might teach him the interpretations (the true meaning) of the stories (and events). And Allah has full power and control on His affairs; But most of mankind do not know it.

S.V.Ahamed 12:21

22

And when he [Yusuf, (Joseph)] reached his full manhood, We gave him power and knowledge: Like this We reward those who do right.

S.V.Ahamed 12:22

23

But she (the wife) in whose house he was, wanted to (wrongfully mislead and) seduce him from his (noble and true) self: She closed the doors, and said: "Come on (to me), O you (dear one)!" He said: "I seek Allah's help: (Allah forbid)! Truly he (your husband) is my lord! He made my stay (with you) comfortable! Truly, nothing good comes to those who do wrong!"

S.V.Ahamed 12:23

24

And she wanted to have him (very much), and he would have fallen to her (desire), but that he clearly saw the Presence of his Lord: Like this (We planned) that We turn away from him (all) evil and shameful acts: Surely, he was one of Our servants, sincere and purified.

S.V.Ahamed 12:24

25

So they both outran each other to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back: They both found her lord (the husband) by the door. She said: "What is the (suitable) punishment for one who has made an evil plan against your wife, except prison or a severe punishment?"

S.V.Ahamed 12:25

26

He (Yusuf) said: "It was she who tried to seduce me From my (true) self." And one of (the members of) her household saw and told what happened, (like this): "If it is that his shirt is torn from the front, then what she says is true, and he is the liar!

S.V.Ahamed 12:26

27

But if it is that his shirt is torn from the back, then is she the liar, and he is telling the truth!

S.V.Ahamed 12:27

28

So when he (the husband) saw his (Yusuf's) shirt That it was torn at the back (Her husband) said: "Surely! It is a plot of you women! Truly, your plot is strong (and large)!

S.V.Ahamed 12:28

29

O Yusuf (Joseph), forget this event! (O wife! Now you), ask forgiveness for your sin; Verily, you have been at fault!

S.V.Ahamed 12:29

30

And the (other) ladies from the city, said: "The wife of the (great lord) ‘Aziz is trying to seduce her young man (the slave) from his (true and noble) self: Truly he must have aroused strong love in her: Surely, we see clearly that she is going astray."

S.V.Ahamed 12:30
