Thus did We establish Yusuf (Joseph) in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not. 21 And when he reached maturity, We bestowed on him judgment and knowledge.

The unjust will certainly have no happiness." 23 And assuredly she besought him, and he would have besought her were it not that he had seen the argument of his Lord.

Disregard this – and O woman! Seek forgiveness for your sin; indeed you are of the mistaken.” 29
