Alif Lam Ra These are the verses of the Scripture that makes things clear––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran so that you [people] may understand.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We tell you [Prophet] the best of stories in revealing this Quran to you. Before this you were one of those who knew nothing about them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Joseph said to his father, ‘Father, I dreamed of eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them all bow down before me,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and he replied, ‘My son, tell your brothers nothing of this dream, or they may plot to harm you––Satan is man’s sworn enemy.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

This is about how your Lord will choose you, teach you to interpret dreams, and perfect His blessing on you and the House of Jacob, just as He perfected it earlier on your forefathers Abraham and Isaac: your Lord is all knowing and wise.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

There are lessons in the story of Joseph and his brothers for all who seek them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

The brothers said [to each other], ‘Although we are many, Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than we are–– our father is clearly in the wrong.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[One of them said], ‘Kill Joseph or banish him to another land, and your father’s attention will be free to turn to you. After that you can be righteous.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[Another of them] said, ‘Do not kill Joseph, but, if you must, throw him into the hidden depths of a well where some caravan may pick him up.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They said to their father, ‘Why do you not trust us with Joseph? We wish him well.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Send him with us tomorrow and he will enjoy himself and play- we will take good care of him.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

He replied, ‘The thought of you taking him away with you worries me: I am afraid a wolf may eat him when you are not paying attention.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They said, ‘If a wolf were to eat him when there are so many of us, we would truly be losers!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Then they took him away with them, resolved upon throwing him into the hidden depths of a well- We inspired him, saying, ‘You will tell them of all this [at a time] when they do not realize [who you are]!’-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and at nightfall they returned to their father weeping.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

They said, ‘We went off racing one another, leaving Joseph behind with our things, and a wolf ate him. You will not believe us, though we are telling the truth!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and they showed him his shirt, deceptively stained with blood. He cried, ‘No! Your souls have prompted you to do wrong! But it is best to be patient: from God alone I seek help to bear what you are saying.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Some travellers came by. They sent someone to draw water and he let down his bucket. ‘Good news!’ he exclaimed. ‘Here is a boy!’ They hid him like a piece of merchandise- God was well aware of what they did-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and then sold him for a small price, for a few pieces of silver: so little did they value him.
