Joseph (Yousuf)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) manifest. 1 We have sent it down, an Arabic Koran, in order that you understand. 2 Through the revelation of this Qur'an We narrate the best of histories of which you were unaware before. 3 [Of these stories mention] when Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me." 4 He (the father) said: "O my son! Relate not your vision to your brothers, lest they arrange a plot against you. Verily! Shaitan (Satan) is to man an open enemy! 5 For, [as thou hast been shown in thy dream,] even thus will thy Sustainer elect thee, and will impart unto thee some understanding of the inner meaning of happenings, and will bestow the full measure of His blessings upon thee and upon the House of Jacob - even as, aforetime, He bestowed it in full measure upon thy forefathers Abraham and Isaac. Verily, thy Sustainer is all-knowing, wise!" 6
