00:03Yusuf, Joseph
00:05With the name of Allah, the most gracious, the ever merciful.
00:11Alif, Lam, Ra
00:13I am Allah, the all-seeing.
00:17These are the verses of the perfect book,
00:20containing luminous truths that tell the right from the wrong.
00:25We have indeed revealed this Quran
00:27which explains its object eloquently well
00:31that you may abstain from evils.
00:34We narrate rightly to you with the best explanation
00:38because we reveal to you this Quran
00:41otherwise you were of those not possessed
00:45of the requisite knowledge before this.
00:49Remember the time when Joseph said to his father,
00:52My dear father, I have seen in a vision
00:56eleven stars and the sun and the moon.
01:00I saw them falling down prostrate before God
01:03because of me.
01:05He said,
01:07My dear son,
01:09relate not your vision to your brothers
01:12lest they should intrigue against you
01:15for Satan is to a human being
01:17an enemy disuniting.
01:21And thus,
01:22shall it be as he has shown you in this vision.
01:26Your Lord will make you his chosen one
01:28and impart you knowledge of the true interpretation
01:31of divine sayings
01:32and will perfect his favors upon you
01:34and upon the family of Jacob
01:36just as he perfected it
01:39formerly upon two of your forefathers
01:41Abraham and Isaac.
01:43Verily your Lord is all-knowing,
01:46all-wise.
01:48The fact is that there are many signs
01:51in the account of Joseph and his brothers
01:53for the inquirers.
01:55Recall when they,
01:56the brothers of Joseph,
01:58said to one another,
01:59Surely Joseph and his brother Benjamin
02:01are dearer to our father than we are
02:04though we are a formidable party.
02:07Surely our father is cherishing a love
02:09that has gone too far.
02:12So you had better either kill Joseph
02:15or remove him to some distant land.
02:18In this way your father's favor will be
02:20exclusively yours.
02:22After that you can repent
02:24and become a pious people.
02:26At this a speaker among them said,
02:29If you are bent upon doing something at all
02:33do not kill Joseph
02:34but put him into the dark depths
02:37of the dry well.
02:38Perhaps some caravan of travelers may pick him out.
02:42On making this resolution
02:44they went to their father and said,
02:46Our father,
02:48why do you not trust us with regard to Joseph
02:50while as a matter of fact
02:52we are his sincere well-wishers?
02:56Send him forth with us for an outing tomorrow
02:59that he may enjoy himself and play.
03:02Surely we will keep guard over him.
03:05He said,
03:07It worries me that you should take him away.
03:10Moreover,
03:11I fear lest a wolf should devour him
03:14while you are heedless of him.
03:17They said,
03:18If the wolf were to devour him
03:20in spite of the fact
03:21we are a formidable party
03:23in that case
03:25we shall be indeed losers.
03:28So when after forcing their father
03:30they took him away
03:32and agreed to put him into the depths
03:34of a dry well
03:35and carried their plan out
03:37we reveal to him
03:39you shall certainly tell them one day
03:41of this treacherous doing of theirs
03:44while they perceive not.
03:46And they came weeping to their father at nightfall.
03:49They said,
03:51Our father,
03:52we went forth racing with one another
03:54and left Joseph behind with our belongings
03:57and the wolf devoured him.
04:00But you would never believe us
04:02though we be the truthful ones.
04:05And to assure their father
04:07they came to him with stains of false blood
04:10on Joseph's shirt.
04:12He, Jacob said,
04:14This is not true
04:15but you yourselves
04:17have made a malicious thing
04:19seem fair to you.
04:20So now showing patience
04:22is befitting for me
04:23and it is Allah alone
04:25whose help can be sought
04:27to avert what you describe.
04:30Now there came a caravan of travelers
04:32and they sent their water drawer
04:34to fetch water
04:35and he let down his bucket into the well
04:38and behold he cried,
04:41O glad tidings
04:43here is a young boy.
04:44So they,
04:46Joseph's brothers
04:47presented him in this way
04:49as if a piece of merchandise
04:51and Allah was well aware of their doings.
04:54And they,
04:56the brothers of Joseph
04:57sold him
04:58claiming him to be their slave
05:00to the travelers
05:01sold him for a trifling price
05:04a few dirhams
05:06and they were not even desirous of it.
05:10And Joseph was taken to Egypt
05:12and resold there.
05:14The man from Egypt
05:15who bought him from the travelers
05:17said to his wife,
05:18Make his stay honorable.
05:20He may prove useful to us
05:22or we may adopt him as a son.
05:25In this way did we grant Joseph
05:28an honorable position in the country
05:30and we did it that we might impart to him
05:32knowledge of the interpretation
05:34of some divine sayings.
05:36And Allah has full power over his decree
05:39but most people do not know this.
05:43And when he attained his age of full strength
05:46we granted him judgment and knowledge
05:49and thus do we reward the doers of good deeds to others.
05:55Now the woman in whose house he was putting up
05:57sought to seduce him against his will
06:00and she bolted the doors well and said
06:03Now come,
06:05I am ready to receive you.
06:07He, Joseph said,
06:09How can it be possible?
06:11I seek refuge with Allah.
06:13He alone is my Lord.
06:15He has made my stay with you honorable.
06:18Verily the wrongdoers never flourish.
06:21And she made up her mind with regard to him.
06:24And he made up his mind with regard to her.
06:28And would have fallen into her snares
06:30as the temptations were so strong
06:32if he had not seen the manifest evidence of his Lord.
06:36It happened thus,
06:38so that we might turn away from him
06:40every evil and indecency.
06:43Surely he was one of our purified servants.
06:46And both of them ran for the door,
06:49one trying to outdo the other.
06:51And in the struggle,
06:53she tore his shirt from behind.
06:55They encountered her husband
06:57all of a sudden by the door.
06:59She said,
07:00There can be no punishment
07:02less than imprisonment
07:03or some other painful torture
07:05for the man who intended evil with your wife.
07:09He, Joseph said,
07:10No, it is not so as she describes.
07:15But she it was who sought to seduce me against my will.
07:20Now a learned witness of her own family
07:23bore a circumstantial evidence saying,
07:26If his shirt has been torn from the front,
07:29then she speaks the truth
07:31and he is of the liars.
07:34But if his shirt has been torn from behind,
07:38then she is a liar
07:40and he speaks the truth.
07:43So when he, her husband,
07:44saw his shirt torn from behind,
07:46he at once understood the truth of the matter
07:49and said to his wife,
07:51This is surely a deceiving device
07:53which you women practice.
07:55Your cunning device is indeed great.
07:59Turning to Joseph, he said,
08:02Joseph, leave the matter alone.
08:04And you, woman,
08:06seek forgiveness for your sin.
08:08It is you, of course, who are at fault.
08:12And the women talked in the city.
08:14The wife of the Aziz
08:16seeks to seduce her young slave against his will.
08:19His love has indeed penetrated deep in her heart.
08:24Indeed we see her in obvious error
08:27in going too far in her love.
08:30And when she heard of their sly whisperings
08:33and taunting remarks,
08:34she sent for them
08:36and prepared a repast for them.
08:39Then on the women's arrival
08:41she gave to each one of them a knife
08:43to eat fruit therewith
08:44and said to Joseph then,
08:47Come forth in their presence.
08:50So when they saw him,
08:52they found him a dignified personality
08:54and cut their hands through wonder
08:56and said,
08:58Glory be to Allah!
09:00He is not a human being.
09:01He is but a noble angel.
09:05She said,
09:07So you have seen,
09:08this is he about whom you blamed me.
09:10I did seek to seduce him against his will,
09:14but he preserved himself from sin.
09:16Yet I tell him aloud,
09:18if he does not do what I bid him,
09:21he shall certainly be imprisoned
09:23and he shall indeed be of the humiliated ones.
09:27Hearing this,
09:29Joseph said,
09:30My lord,
09:32the prison is more to my liking
09:34than that to which they call me to.
09:37And unless you turn away their guile from me,
09:40I might yield to their allurement
09:42and be of those devoid of knowledge.
09:46So his lord accepted his prayer
09:48and turned away their guile from him.
09:51Verily, he is all-hearing, all-knowing.
09:56Then it occurred to them,
09:58after they had examined all the circumstances
10:01and signs of Joseph's innocence,
10:04that they had better imprison him for a time.
10:07So Joseph was consigned to the prison.
10:10And with him there entered the prison
10:13two young men.
10:14One of them said to him,
10:16I see myself in a dream pressing grapes.
10:20And the other said,
10:21I see myself carrying upon my head
10:24bread of which the birds are eating.
10:27Inform us of the interpretation of these dreams,
10:30for we surely find you of the doers of good to others.
10:34He said,
10:36Do not worry.
10:37I shall inform you of the interpretation of these dreams
10:40before the meal you two are given comes to you.
10:44This, my ability to interpret,
10:47you should bear in mind,
10:48is a part of that knowledge which my lord has imparted to me.
10:52I have indeed renounced the creed of the people
10:55who do not believe in Allah,
10:57and who, moreover,
10:59are disbelievers in the hereafter.
11:02And I have followed the creed of my fathers,
11:05Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
11:07It is not proper for us to associate anything
11:10as a partner with Allah.
11:12That he taught us unity of God
11:15is entirely due to Allah's grace upon us
11:18and upon other people.
11:20But most people do not render thanks for this blessing.
11:24My two fellow prisoners,
11:26what is better,
11:28diverse and numerous gods,
11:30or Allah, the one, the most supreme?
11:34You worship nothing apart from him,
11:37but some mere imaginary names
11:40coined by you and by your fathers.
11:42Allah has sent down no authority for worshipping that.
11:46The judgment rests with Allah alone.
11:49He has commanded that you shall worship none but him alone.
11:52That is the right and lasting faith,
11:55yet most people know it not.
11:58My two fellow prisoners,
12:00as for one of you,
12:01he will pour out wine for his Lord to drink,
12:04and as for the other,
12:06he shall be crucified,
12:08so that the birds will eat flesh from off his head.
12:12The matter about which you inquired stands decreed.
12:15And he said to the one of the two whom he knew would be released,
12:19Mention me to your Lord.
12:21But Satan made him forget to mention Joseph to his Lord,
12:25so that he, Joseph, remained confined in the prison for a few years.
12:30Now it so happened that one day the king said,
12:34I saw in a dream seven fat kine,
12:37which seven lean ones were eating,
12:40and seven green ears of corn,
12:42and as many others withered.
12:45You nobles of the court,
12:47explain to me the real significance of my dream
12:50if you can interpret dreams.
12:52They said,
12:53These are confused dreams,
12:56and we do not know the interpretation of such confused dreams.
13:01And of the two prisoners,
13:03the one who had got his release,
13:05and who now recalled Joseph to his mind after a long time said,
13:09I will inform you of its true interpretation,
13:12therefore send me for the purpose to Joseph in prison.
13:16So he went to Joseph in the prison and exclaimed,
13:20Joseph, O the man of truth,
13:24explain to us the real significance of a dream,
13:27in which seven fat kine,
13:29which seven lean ones devour,
13:32and of seven green ears of corn,
13:34and as many others withered,
13:36so that I may return to the people,
13:38and they may know the interpretation
13:40and thereby your exalted position.
13:43He, Joseph, replied,
13:45You shall sow for seven years,
13:48working hard and continuously,
13:51and let what you have harvested remain in its ear,
13:55excepting a little whereof you may eat.
13:57Then there shall follow seven years of famine,
14:00of great severity,
14:02and these years shall consume all the stores
14:05you have laid by in advance for them,
14:07except a little which you may have preserved.
14:10Then thereafter shall come a year of rains,
14:13in which people shall be relieved,
14:15and in which season they will press fruit and seeds.
14:19And the king, after hearing the interpretation by Joseph, said,
14:23Bring him to me.
14:25But when the messengers came to him, he said,
14:28Go back to your Lord, and ask him on my behalf,
14:32How does the matter deserving of your attention
14:35stands with regard to the women who cut their hands?
14:39For my Lord has full knowledge of their crafty designs.
14:43The king then sent for the ladies,
14:45and to them he said,
14:47What was that important matter in reality
14:51that you had in view when you sought to seduce Joseph against his will?
14:55They said,
14:56He kept away from committing sin for the sake of Allah.
15:00We did not perceive the least evil intention on his part.
15:04The wife of the Aziz said,
15:06Now the truth has come to light at last.
15:10It was I who sought to seduce him against his will,
15:13and most surely he is of the truthful.
15:17When the news was brought to Joseph, he said,
15:20This course of action I adopted so that he, the Aziz,
15:24might know that I had not betrayed him in his absence,
15:27and that Allah suffers not the device of the unfaithful to succeed.
15:35Yet I do not hold myself to be free from weakness,
15:38for the commanding self is surely prone to enjoin evil,
15:43except on whom my Lord has mercy.
15:46My Lord is of course protector against sins,
15:50ever merciful.
15:52And the king said,
15:54Bring him to me.
15:56I will make him my special attache.
15:59And when he,
16:01Joseph, came and spoke to him,
16:04he, the king, said,
16:06From this day you hold a notable position of honor and trust with us.
16:12Joseph said,
16:14Appoint me over the treasurers of the land,
16:17for I am a careful keeper and possessed of knowledge of the job.
16:21That is how we granted Joseph high power in the country.
16:25He wielded authority therein wherever he chose.
16:29We bestow our mercy on whomsoever we will,
16:33and we suffer not the reward of the doers of excellent deeds to be lost.
16:39Yet those who believe,
16:40and have been guarding against sin and dutiful,
16:43shall have a much better reward in the hereafter.
16:47And in the years of famine,
16:50Joseph's brothers came from Canaan to Egypt,
16:53and they presented themselves to him.
16:55But though he knew them,
16:57they recognized him not.
17:00When he had provided them with their provision, he said,
17:03When you come next,
17:05bring me your brother from your father's side.
17:08Do you not see that I give full measure of corn,
17:11and I am the best of hosts?
17:14But if you do not bring him to me,
17:16there shall be no more measure of corn for you from me,
17:20nor shall you find access to me.
17:23They said,
17:24We will certainly persuade his father to part with him,
17:27and we are sure to do it.
17:30And he said to his servants,
17:32Put their cash they paid for the corn in their saddlebags,
17:37and to himself,
17:39that they may recognize it as benevolence,
17:41when they return to their family,
17:43and perhaps they may come back with his brother on this account.
17:48So when they returned to their father,
17:51they said,
17:52Our father,
17:52a further measure of corn has been denied us,
17:56unless we take our brother Benjamin with us.
17:59Therefore send our brother with us,
18:00that we may have our measure of corn,
18:02and we will surely be able to take due care of him.
18:06Jacob said,
18:08Shall I trust you with him,
18:10as I trusted you with his brother before?
18:14Allah is the best guardian,
18:16and he is the most merciful of those who show mercy.
18:21And when they unpacked their goods,
18:23they found their cash to return to them.
18:25They said,
18:26Our father,
18:27what more should we desire?
18:29Here is our cash returned to us.
18:33And if Benjamin accompanies us,
18:36we will make the best use of it.
18:38We will bring food for our family,
18:40and we will take care of our brother,
18:42and we shall have the measure of a camel load in addition.
18:46That measure of corn we have already brought
18:49is a light one,
18:51and so little and insufficient.
18:54He said,
18:55Never will I send him with you
18:57until you give me a solemn pledge
18:59in the name of Allah,
19:01that you shall surely bring him to me
19:03unless it be that you yourselves
19:05are beset with difficult circumstances.
19:08When they had given him their pledge,
19:10he said,
19:12Allah shall be guardian over what we have agreed.
19:15And he also said on their departure,
19:18My sons,
19:20reaching Egypt,
19:21enter the city not by one gate,
19:24rather enter it by different gates.
19:26Yet I can avail you not against the decree of Allah.
19:31The decision only rests with Allah.
19:34In him do I put my trust,
19:36and in him let all who would trust put their trust
19:39in the like manner.
19:42And when they entered the city
19:43after the manner their father had bidden them,
19:46it could not at all help them against the decree of Allah.
19:51All that it came to was that Jacob's desire he had in his mind
19:55was thus satisfied and his purpose achieved,
19:59and he was surely possessed of knowledge,
20:02because we had imparted full knowledge to him.
20:05But most people do not know these things.
20:09When they entered upon Joseph,
20:11he betook his brother to himself for restful lodging,
20:14making him his personal guest.
20:17He, Joseph, said to Benjamin,
20:20I am your real brother, Joseph,
20:22so now do not grieve over what they have been doing.
20:27When he had provided them with their provision,
20:30someone put a drinking cup in the saddlebag of his brother Benjamin.
20:34Then it so happened that a crier called,
20:37Oh, men of the caravan carrying the corn,
20:40you are most surely thieves.
20:44They, men of the caravan said,
20:46turning towards them,
20:48What is it that you are missing?
20:51They said,
20:52We find the king's measuring vessel missing,
20:55and added,
20:56Whoever restores it shall receive a camel load of corn as a reward.
21:00And one of them said,
21:02I am surely responsible for it.
21:05They replied,
21:07By Allah,
21:08you know well that we did not come to commit mischief in this country,
21:13nor are we professional thieves.
21:16They, the Egyptians, said,
21:18What shall be the punishment for this theft if you are proved to be liars?
21:23They replied,
21:25The punishment for this is that he in whose saddlebag this vessel is found
21:30shall himself be the penalty for it,
21:33and so he himself shall be confiscated as its forfeit.
21:37This is how we punish the wrongdoers.
21:40Then he, the king's herald,
21:43began the search with the sacks of others
21:45before he came to the sack of his brother Benjamin.
21:49Finding the vessel therein,
21:51he brought it out of his brother's sack.
21:54That is how we contrived for Joseph to keep Benjamin with him,
21:58otherwise he could not have taken his brother according to the king's law.
22:03Yet it came about as Allah willed.
22:05We raise in degrees of rank whomsoever we will.
22:09And over and above every possessor of knowledge
22:12there is one almighty God who is all-knowing.
22:17Joseph's brother said,
22:19If he has stolen,
22:21no wonder a brother of his had also committed theft before this.
22:25But Joseph kept it secret in his heart
22:28and did not disclose it to them.
22:30He simply said,
22:32You are a worse case
22:33and Allah knows best what you are alleging.
22:37Brothers of Joseph said,
22:38O noble chief,
22:41surely he has an old father,
22:43advanced in years,
22:44so retain one of us in his place.
22:47Surely we see you to be of the doers of good to all.
22:51He said,
22:52God forbid that we take anyone
22:54except the one with whom we found our property,
22:57for otherwise we would of course be unjust.
23:02When they were despaired of moving him,
23:05they retired to confer together in private.
23:08One of their leaders said,
23:10Are you not aware that your father has bound you
23:13to a solemn pledge in the name of Allah?
23:16And how before this,
23:18you fell short of your duty in respect of Joseph?
23:22Never will I therefore leave this land
23:24until my father gives me permission
23:26or Allah who is the best of judges
23:29decides the matter for me.
23:32Return all of you to your father and say,
23:35Our father, your son has committed the theft.
23:38And we say no more than what we know
23:41and we did not witness him stealing
23:43and we could not be guardians
23:45over what was unseen by us.
23:49And you may inquire of the inhabitants of the city we were in
23:52and of the people of the caravan
23:55carrying the corn we accompany.
23:57We speak nothing but the truth.
24:01So when reaching home,
24:03Jacob's sons gave all this information to him.
24:06Jacob said,
24:08Nay, it is not so.
24:10Rather your baser selves have embellished to you
24:13another abominable thing.
24:16So now showing patience is befitting.
24:18It is not far from the grace of Allah
24:21to bring them all to me.
24:23For he is indeed the all-knowing,
24:25the all-wise.
24:28And he turned away from them and said,
24:30Oh my grief for Joseph!
24:32And his eyes were drowned with tears
24:35for the pangs of grief
24:37and he was suppressing his sorrow.
24:40They said,
24:41By Allah!
24:43You will not cease mentioning Joseph
24:45until you are consumed away for some disease
24:48or become of the perished.
24:50He replied,
24:51I complain of my anguish
24:53and of my sorrow to Allah alone.
24:56I know from Allah what you do not know.
24:59Go, my sons,
25:00and make a thorough search for Joseph and his brother.
25:04Do not despair of Allah's soothing mercy.
25:08Verily, none but the people who deny the truth
25:11can ever lose hope of Allah's soothing mercy.
25:16And when they, Joseph's brothers,
25:19came again before him,
25:20they said,
25:21O noble chief!
25:23Distress and poverty due to famine
25:26has befallen us and our family.
25:28We have brought only a scanty amount of money.
25:31Give us none the less full measure of corn
25:34and show us charity.
25:36Surely Allah rewards the charitable.
25:40Joseph said,
25:41Are you aware what you did to Joseph and his brother
25:45in your ignorance?
25:47They were startled and said,
25:50Are you Joseph?
25:52Yes, you are Joseph indeed.
25:55He said,
25:57Yes, I am Joseph,
25:58and this is my brother Benjamin.
26:01Allah has indeed been gracious to us.
26:04As a matter of fact,
26:06he who guards against evil,
26:08seeking refuge in him,
26:10and patiently perseveres,
26:12will find that Allah suffers not
26:14the reward of the doers of good
26:16to others to be lost.
26:18They said,
26:19By Allah!
26:21Allah has surely exalted you above us,
26:24and we have indeed been guilty.
26:28Joseph said,
26:30No reproach from me shall be on you this day.
26:33May Allah forgive you.
26:35He is the most merciful of those who show mercy.
26:39Go with this my shirt,
26:41and lay it before my father.
26:43He will come to know the whole affair
26:45and as well believe,
26:47and bring to me the whole of your family.
26:51So when the caravan with the corn
26:53departed from Egypt,
26:54their father said,
26:56If you do not pronounce my judgment
26:58to be weak and unsound,
27:01let me tell you that I do sent the power of Joseph.
27:05They, people of Joseph's household said,
27:09By Allah!
27:10you are still suffering from your old illusion.
27:14And when the bearer of the happy tidings came to Jacob,
27:17he laid it, the shirt,
27:19before him,
27:20and he became enlightened about the true state of affairs.
27:24He said,
27:25Did I not tell you that I know from Allah
27:27what you do not know?
27:29They said,
27:31Our father, pray that our sins are forgiven to us,
27:34for certainly we have been sinful.
27:37He, Jacob said,
27:39I will certainly pray to my Lord to forgive you.
27:43Surely he is the most forgiving,
27:45the ever merciful.
27:47And when they all came to Joseph,
27:50he betook his parents to himself
27:52for a restful lodging,
27:54and said,
27:55Enter the city if Allah will.
27:57You shall always be safe and secure.
28:01And he took his parents to the royal court,
28:04and they all fell down prostrate before God
28:07because of him,
28:08and he said,
28:08My father,
28:10this is the real fulfillment of my vision of old.
28:13My Lord has made it come true.
28:16He has been gracious to me, indeed,
28:19when he released me out of the prison
28:21and brought you from the desert.
28:22This all happened after Satan had stirred up discord
28:26between me and my brothers.
28:29Surely my Lord is beneficent to whomsoever he pleases.
28:33He it is who is the all-knowing,
28:35the all-wise.
28:38Addressing his Lord,
28:39Joseph then said,
28:40My Lord,
28:41you have bestowed a part of the sovereignty upon me,
28:45and it is you who have imparted me
28:47true knowledge of the significance of divine sayings.
28:50O you, the originator of the heavens and the earth,
28:53you alone are my patron in this world and the hereafter.
28:57Let it be that I die in a state of complete submission to you.
29:02Let it be that I join the righteous.
29:05Prophet,
29:06this narrative is a part of the important news
29:10of the hidden realities which we reveal to you.
29:13You were not present with these enemies of yours
29:15when they agreed upon their plan against you,
29:18and they are still hatching subtle plots.
29:21And many people,
29:23even though you ardently desire it,
29:25will not at all believe.
29:28While you ask them for no wages for it.
29:31On the other hand,
29:33this Quran is but a source of eminence and glory for all humankind.
29:39And many are the signs in the heavens and the earth,
29:42which they pass by turning away arrogantly from them.
29:46In fact, most of them believe not in Allah without at the same time ascribing partners to him.
29:54Do they then feel secure from the coming of an overwhelming punishment on them from Allah,
30:00or the sudden coming of the hour upon them, taking them unaware?
30:05Say,
30:06This is my path.
30:08This is my path.
30:08I call to Allah.
30:10I am on sure knowledge verifiable by reason, and so are those who follow me.
30:16I believe that holy is Allah.
30:19I am not of the polytheists.
30:22And we sent none as messengers before you,
30:25but they were men from among the people of the townships to whom we revealed our will.
30:32Have they not then journeyed in the land,
30:34and seen how was the end of their predecessors?
30:38Indeed, the abode of the hereafter holds out better promises for those who guard against evil and keep their duty.
30:45Will you not then refrain from disbelief and unrighteous deeds?
30:50It always happened with the previous messengers as well.
30:54They went on with their teachings,
30:56till when those messengers despaired of believing on the part of their people,
31:01and they, the people of their nation, thought that they have been told only lies in the name of revelations,
31:08our help reached these messengers suddenly,
31:11delivering those whom we pleased.
31:13Surely our punishment is not averted from the people who sever their ties with us.
31:20Most assuredly, the narratives of the people gone by
31:24contain lessons for the people possessed of pure and clear understanding.
31:29This Qur'an is no forged narrative.
31:32It is a fulfillment of those prophecies contained in the scriptures which were before it,
31:37and is a detailed exposition of all things,
31:41and a guide and a mercy to a people who believe.
