| [YA]: To the Madyan People (We sent) Shu'aib, one of their own brethren: he said: "O my people! worship Allah: Ye have no other god but Him. And give not short measure or weight: I see you in prosperity, but I fear for you the penalty of a day that will compass (you) all round. [RK]:To Midyan we sent their brother Shu`aib. He said, "O my people, worship GOD; you have no other god beside Him. Do not cheat when you measure or weigh. I see that you are prosperous, and I fear for you the retribution of an overwhelming day. | ||||

| 1403 | [11:86] Line:1559 |
| ||
| [YA]: "That which is left you by Allah is best for you, if ye (but) believed! but I am not set over you to keep watch!" [RK]:"Whatever GOD provides for you, no matter how small, is far better for you, if you are really believers. I am not a guardian over you." | ||||
| 1404 | [11:88] Line:1561 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "O my people! see ye whether I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord, and He hath given me sustenance (pure and) good as from Himself? I wish not, in opposition to you, to do that which I forbid you to do. I only desire (your) betterment to the best of my power; and my success (in my task) can only come from Allah. In Him I trust, and unto Him I look. [RK]:He said, "O my people, what if I have solid proof from my Lord; what if He has provided me with a great blessing? It is not my wish to commit what I enjoin you from. I only wish to correct as many wrongs as I can. My guidance depends totally on GOD; I have put my trust in Him. To Him I have totally submitted. | ||||
| 1405 | [11:92] Line:1565 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "O my people! is then my family of more consideration with you than Allah? For ye cast Him away behind your backs (with contempt). But verily my Lord encompasseth on all sides all that ye do! [RK]:He said, "O my people, does my tribe command a greater respect than GOD? Is this why you have been heedless of Him? My Lord is fully aware of everything you do. | ||||
| 1406 | [11:101] Line:1574 |
| ||
| [YA]: It was not We that wronged them: They wronged their own souls: the deities, other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them no whit when there issued the decree of thy Lord: Nor did they add aught (to their lot) but perdition! [RK]:We never wronged them; they wronged their own souls. Their gods, whom they invoked beside GOD, could not help them in the least when the judgment of your Lord came. In fact, they only ensured their doom. | ||||
| 1407 | [11:113] Line:1586 |
| ||
| [YA]: And incline not to those who do wrong, or the Fire will seize you; and ye have no protectors other than Allah, nor shall ye be helped. [RK]:Do not lean towards those who have transgressed, lest you incur Hell, and find no allies to help you against GOD, then end up losers. | ||||
| 1408 | [11:115] Line:1588 |
| ||
| [YA]: And be steadfast in patience; for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish. [RK]:You shall steadfastly persevere, for GOD never fails to recompense the righteous. | ||||
| 1409 | [11:123] Line:1596 |
| ||
| [YA]: To Allah do belong the unseen (secrets) of the heavens and the earth, and to Him goeth back every affair (for decision): then worship Him, and put thy trust in Him: and thy Lord is not unmindful of aught that ye do. [RK]:To GOD belongs the future of the heavens and the earth, and all matters are controlled by Him. You shall worship Him and trust in Him. Your Lord is never unaware of anything you do. | ||||
| 1410 | [12:18] Line:1614 |
| ||
| [YA]: They stained his shirt with false blood. He said: "Nay, but your minds have made up a tale (that may pass) with you, (for me) patience is most fitting: Against that which ye assert, it is Allah (alone) Whose help can be sought".. [RK]:They produced his shirt with fake blood on it. He said, "Indeed, you have conspired with each other to commit a certain scheme. All I can do is resort to a quiet patience. May GOD help me in the face of your conspiracy." | ||||
| 1411 | [12:19] Line:1615 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then there came a caravan of travellers: they sent their water-carrier (for water), and he let down his bucket (into the well)...He said: "Ah there! Good news! Here is a (fine) young man!" So they concealed him as a treasure! But Allah knoweth well all that they do! [RK]:A caravan passed by, and soon sent their waterer. He let down his bucket, then said, "How lucky! There is a boy here!" They took him along as merchandise, and GOD was fully aware of what they did. | ||||
| 1412 | [12:21] Line:1617 |
| ||
| [YA]: The man in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay (among us) honourable: may be he will bring us much good, or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events). And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not. [RK]:The one who bought him in Egypt said to his wife, "Take good care of him. Maybe he can help us, or maybe we can adopt him." We thus established Joseph on earth, and we taught him the interpretation of dreams. GOD's command is always done, but most people do not know. | ||||
| 1413 | [12:23] Line:1619 |
| ||
| [YA]: But she in whose house he was, sought to seduce him from his (true) self: she fastened the doors, and said: "Now come, thou (dear one)!" He said: "Allah forbid! truly (thy husband) is my lord! he made my sojourn agreeable! truly to no good come those who do wrong!" [RK]:The lady of the house where he lived tried to seduce him. She closed the doors and said, "I am all yours." He said, "May GOD protect me. He is my Lord, who gave me a good home. The transgressors never succeed." | ||||
| 1414 | [12:31] Line:1627 |
| ||
| [YA]: When she heard of their malicious talk, she sent for them and prepared a banquet for them: she gave each of them a knife: and she said (to Joseph), "Come out before them." When they saw him, they did extol him, and (in their amazement) cut their hands: they said, "Allah preserve us! no mortal is this! this is none other than a noble angel!" [RK]:When she heard of their gossip, she invited them, prepared for them a comfortable place, and gave each of them a knife. She then said to him, "Enter their room." When they saw him, they so admired him, that they cut their hands. They said, "Glory be to GOD, this is not a human being; this is an honorable angel." | ||||
| 1415 | [12:37] Line:1633 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "Before any food comes (in due course) to feed either of you, I will surely reveal to you the truth and meaning of this ere it befall you: that is part of the (duty) which my Lord hath taught me. I have (I assure you) abandoned the ways of a people that believe not in Allah and that (even) deny the Hereafter. [RK]:He said, "If any food is provided to you, I can inform you about it before you receive it. This is some of the knowledge bestowed upon me by my Lord. I have forsaken the religion of people who do not believe in GOD, and with regard to the Hereafter, they are really disbelievers. | ||||
| 1416 | [12:38] Line:1634 |
| ||
| [YA]: "And I follow the ways of my fathers,- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and never could we attribute any partners whatever to Allah: that (comes) of the grace of Allah to us and to mankind: yet most men are not grateful. [RK]:"And I followed instead the religion of my ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We never set up any idols beside GOD. Such is the blessing from GOD upon us and upon the people, but most people are unappreciative. | ||||
| 1417 | [12:38] Line:1634 |

| 1418 | [12:39] Line:1635 |
| ||
| [YA]: "O my two companions of the prison! (I ask you): are many lords differing among themselves better, or the One Allah, Supreme and Irresistible? [RK]:"O my prison mates, are several gods better, or GOD alone, the One, the Supreme? | ||||
| 1419 | [12:40] Line:1636 |
| ||
| [YA]: "If not Him, ye worship nothing but names which ye have named,- ye and your fathers,- for which Allah hath sent down no authority: the command is for none but Allah: He hath commanded that ye worship none but Him: that is the right religion, but most men understand not... [RK]:"You do not worship beside Him except innovations that you have made up, you and your parents. GOD has never authorized such idols. All ruling belongs to GOD, and He has ruled that you shall not worship except Him. This is the perfect religion, but most people do not know. | ||||
| 1420 | [12:40] Line:1636 |

| 1421 | [12:51] Line:1647 |
| ||
| [YA]: (The king) said (to the ladies): "What was your affair when ye did seek to seduce Joseph from his (true) self?" The ladies said: "Allah preserve us! no evil know we against him!" Said the 'Aziz's wife: "Now is the truth manifest (to all): it was I who sought to seduce him from his (true) self: He is indeed of those who are (ever) true (and virtuous). [RK]:(The king) said (to the women), "What do you know about the incident when you tried to seduce Joseph?" They said, "GOD forbid; we did not know of anything evil committed by him." The wife of the governor said, "Now the truth has prevailed. I am the one who tried to seduce him, and he was the truthful one. | ||||
| 1422 | [12:52] Line:1648 |
| ||
| [YA]: "This (say I), in order that He may know that I have never been false to him in his absence, and that Allah will never guide the snare of the false ones. [RK]:"I hope that he will realize that I never betrayed him in his absence, for GOD does not bless the schemes of the betrayers. | ||||
| 1423 | [12:64] Line:1660 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "Shall I trust you with him with any result other than when I trusted you with his brother aforetime? But Allah is the best to take care (of him), and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy!" [RK]:He said, "Shall I trust you with him, as I trusted you with his brother before that? GOD is the best Protector, and, of all the merciful ones, He is the Most Merciful." | ||||
| 1424 | [12:66] Line:1662 |
| ||
| [YA]: (Jacob) said: "Never will I send him with you until ye swear a solemn oath to me, in Allah's name, that ye will be sure to bring him back to me unless ye are yourselves hemmed in (and made powerless). And when they had sworn their solemn oath, he said: "Over all that we say, be Allah the witness and guardian!" [RK]:He said, "I will not send him with you, unless you give me a solemn pledge before GOD that you will bring him back, unless you are utterly overwhelmed." When they gave him their solemn pledge, he said, "GOD is witnessing everything we say." | ||||
| 1425 | [12:66] Line:1662 |
| ||
| [YA]: (Jacob) said: "Never will I send him with you until ye swear a solemn oath to me, in Allah's name, that ye will be sure to bring him back to me unless ye are yourselves hemmed in (and made powerless). And when they had sworn their solemn oath, he said: "Over all that we say, be Allah the witness and guardian!" [RK]:He said, "I will not send him with you, unless you give me a solemn pledge before GOD that you will bring him back, unless you are utterly overwhelmed." When they gave him their solemn pledge, he said, "GOD is witnessing everything we say." | ||||
| 1426 | [12:67] Line:1663 |
| ||
| [YA]: Further he said: "O my sons! enter not all by one gate: enter ye by different gates. Not that I can profit you aught against Allah (with my advice): None can command except Allah: On Him do I put my trust: and let all that trust put their trust on Him." [RK]:And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one door; enter through separate doors. However, I cannot save you from anything that is predetermined by GOD. To GOD belongs all judgments. I trust in Him, and in Him shall all the trusters put their trust." | ||||
| 1427 | [12:67] Line:1663 |
| ||
| [YA]: Further he said: "O my sons! enter not all by one gate: enter ye by different gates. Not that I can profit you aught against Allah (with my advice): None can command except Allah: On Him do I put my trust: and let all that trust put their trust on Him." [RK]:And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one door; enter through separate doors. However, I cannot save you from anything that is predetermined by GOD. To GOD belongs all judgments. I trust in Him, and in Him shall all the trusters put their trust." | ||||
| 1428 | [12:68] Line:1664 |
| ||
| [YA]: And when they entered in the manner their father had enjoined, it did not profit them in the least against (the plan of) Allah: It was but a necessity of Jacob's soul, which he discharged. For he was, by our instruction, full of knowledge (and experience): but most men know not. [RK]:When they went (to Joseph), they entered in accordance with their father's instructions. Although this could not change anything decreed by GOD, Jacob had a private reason for asking them to do this. For he possessed certain knowledge that we taught him, but most people do not know. | ||||
| 1429 | [12:73] Line:1669 |
| ||
| [YA]: (The brothers) said: "By Allah! well ye know that we came not to make mischief in the land, and we are no thieves!" [RK]:They said, "By GOD, you know full well that we did not come here to commit evil, nor are we thieves." | ||||
| 1430 | [12:76] Line:1672 |
| ||
| [YA]: So he began (the search) with their baggage, before (he came to) the baggage of his brother: at length he brought it out of his brother's baggage. Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not take his brother by the law of the king except that Allah willed it (so). We raise to degrees (of wisdom) whom We please: but over all endued with knowledge is one, the All-Knowing. [RK]:He then started by inspecting their containers, before getting to his brother's container, and he extracted it out of his brother's container. We thus perfected the scheme for Joseph; he could not have kept his brother if he applied the king's law. But that was the will of GOD. We exalt whomever we choose to higher ranks. Above every knowledgeable one, there is one who is even more knowledgeable. | ||||
| 1431 | [12:77] Line:1673 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "If he steals, there was a brother of his who did steal before (him)." But these things did Joseph keep locked in his heart, revealing not the secrets to them. He (simply) said (to himself): "Ye are the worse situated; and Allah knoweth best the truth of what ye assert!" [RK]:They said, "If he stole, so did a brother of his in the past." Joseph concealed his feelings in himself, and did not give them any clue. He said (to himself), "You are really bad. GOD is fully aware of your accusations." | ||||
| 1432 | [12:79] Line:1675 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "Allah forbid that we take other than him with whom we found our property: indeed (if we did so), we should be acting wrongfully. [RK]:He said, "GOD forbid that we should take other than the one in whose possession we found our goods. Otherwise, we would be unjust." | ||||
| 1433 | [12:80] Line:1676 |
| ||
| [YA]: Now when they saw no hope of his (yielding), they held a conference in private. The leader among them said: "Know ye not that your father did take an oath from you in Allah's name, and how, before this, ye did fail in your duty with Joseph? Therefore will I not leave this land until my father permits me, or Allah commands me; and He is the best to command. [RK]:When they despaired of changing his mind, they conferred together. Their eldest said, "Do you realize that your father has taken a solemn pledge from you before GOD? In the past you lost Joseph. I am not leaving this place until my father gives me permission, or until GOD judges for me; He is the best Judge. | ||||
| 1434 | [12:80] Line:1676 |

| 1435 | [12:83] Line:1679 |
| ||
| [YA]: Jacob said: "Nay, but ye have yourselves contrived a story (good enough) for you. So patience is most fitting (for me). Maybe Allah will bring them (back) all to me (in the end). For He is indeed full of knowledge and wisdom." [RK]:He said, "Indeed, you have conspired to carry out a certain scheme. Quiet patience is my only recourse. May GOD bring them all back to me. He is the Omniscient, Most Wise." | ||||
| 1436 | [12:85] Line:1681 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "By Allah! (never) wilt thou cease to remember Joseph until thou reach the last extremity of illness, or until thou die!" [RK]:They said, "By GOD, you will keep on grieving over Joseph until you become ill, or until you die." | ||||
| 1437 | [12:86] Line:1682 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "I only complain of my distraction and anguish to Allah, and I know from Allah that which ye know not... [RK]:He said, "I simply complain to GOD about my dilemma and grief, for I know from GOD what you do not know. | ||||
| 1438 | [12:86] Line:1682 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "I only complain of my distraction and anguish to Allah, and I know from Allah that which ye know not... [RK]:He said, "I simply complain to GOD about my dilemma and grief, for I know from GOD what you do not know. | ||||
| 1439 | [12:87] Line:1683 |
| ||
| [YA]: "O my sons! go ye and enquire about Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Soothing Mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah's Soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith." [RK]:"O my sons, go fetch Joseph and his brother, and never despair of GOD's grace. None despairs of GOD's grace except the disbelieving people." | ||||
| 1440 | [12:87] Line:1683 |
| ||
| [YA]: "O my sons! go ye and enquire about Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Soothing Mercy: truly no one despairs of Allah's Soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith." [RK]:"O my sons, go fetch Joseph and his brother, and never despair of GOD's grace. None despairs of GOD's grace except the disbelieving people." | ||||
| 1441 | [12:88] Line:1684 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then, when they came (back) into (Joseph's) presence they said: "O exalted one! distress has seized us and our family: we have (now) brought but scanty capital: so pay us full measure, (we pray thee), and treat it as charity to us: for Allah doth reward the charitable." [RK]:When they entered (Joseph's) quarters, they said, "O you noble one, we have suffered a lot of hardship, along with our family, and we have brought inferior goods. But we hope that you will give us full measure and be charitable to us. GOD rewards the charitable." | ||||
| 1442 | [12:90] Line:1686 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "Art thou indeed Joseph?" He said, "I am Joseph, and this is my brother: Allah has indeed been gracious to us (all): behold, he that is righteous and patient,- never will Allah suffer the reward to be lost, of those who do right." [RK]:They said, "You must be Joseph." He said, "I am Joseph, and here is my brother. GOD has blessed us. That is because if one leads a righteous life, and steadfastly perseveres, GOD never fails to reward the righteous." | ||||
| 1443 | [12:90] Line:1686 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "Art thou indeed Joseph?" He said, "I am Joseph, and this is my brother: Allah has indeed been gracious to us (all): behold, he that is righteous and patient,- never will Allah suffer the reward to be lost, of those who do right." [RK]:They said, "You must be Joseph." He said, "I am Joseph, and here is my brother. GOD has blessed us. That is because if one leads a righteous life, and steadfastly perseveres, GOD never fails to reward the righteous." | ||||
| 1444 | [12:91] Line:1687 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "By Allah! indeed has Allah preferred thee above us, and we certainly have been guilty of sin!" [RK]:They said, "By GOD, GOD has truly preferred you over us. We were definitely wrong." | ||||
| 1445 | [12:91] Line:1687 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "By Allah! indeed has Allah preferred thee above us, and we certainly have been guilty of sin!" [RK]:They said, "By GOD, GOD has truly preferred you over us. We were definitely wrong." | ||||
| 1446 | [12:92] Line:1688 |
| ||
| [YA]: He said: "This day let no reproach be (cast) on you: Allah will forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy! [RK]:He said, "There is no blame upon you today. May GOD forgive you. Of all the merciful ones, He is the Most Merciful. | ||||
| 1447 | [12:95] Line:1691 |
| ||
| [YA]: They said: "By Allah! truly thou art in thine old wandering mind." [RK]:They said, "By GOD, you are still in your old confusion." | ||||
| 1448 | [12:96] Line:1692 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then when the bearer of the good news came, He cast (the shirt) over his face, and he forthwith regained clear sight. He said: "Did I not say to you, 'I know from Allah that which ye know not?'" [RK]:When the bearer of good news arrived, he threw (the shirt) on his face, whereupon his vision was restored. He said, "Did I not tell you that I knew from GOD what you did not know?" | ||||
| 1449 | [12:99] Line:1695 |
| ||
| [YA]: Then when they entered the presence of Joseph, he provided a home for his parents with himself, and said: "Enter ye Egypt (all) in safety if it please Allah." [RK]:When they entered Joseph's quarters, he embraced his parents, saying, "Welcome to Egypt. GOD willing, you will be safe here." | ||||
| 1450 | [12:106] Line:1702 |
| ||
| [YA]: And most of them believe not in Allah without associating (other as partners) with Him! [RK]:The majority of those who believe in GOD do not do so without committing idol worship. | ||||
