[[1,"Alif-Lãm-Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book."],[2,"Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran so that you may understand."],[3,"We relate to you ˹O Prophet˺ the best of stories through Our revelation of this Quran, though before this you were totally unaware ˹of them˺."],[4,"˹Remember˺ when Joseph said to his father, “O my dear father! Indeed I dreamt of eleven stars, and the sun, and the moon—I saw them prostrating to me!”"],[5,"He replied, “O my dear son! Do not relate your vision to your brothers, or they will devise a plot against you. Surely Satan is a sworn enemy to humankind."],[6,"And so will your Lord choose you ˹O Joseph˺, and teach you the interpretation of dreams, and perfect His favour upon you and the descendants of Jacob—˹just˺ as He once perfected it upon your forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Surely your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise.”"],[7,"Indeed, in the story of Joseph and his brothers there are lessons for all who ask."],[8,"˹Remember˺ when they said ˹to one another˺, “Surely Joseph and his brother ˹Benjamin˺ are more beloved to our father than we, even though we are a group of so many. Indeed, our father is clearly mistaken."],[9,"Kill Joseph or cast him out to some ˹distant˺ land so that our father’s attention will be only ours, then after that you may ˹repent and˺ become righteous people!”"],[10,"One of them said, “Do not kill Joseph. But if you must do something, throw him into the bottom of a well so perhaps he may be picked up by some travellers.”"],[11,"They said, “O our father! Why do you not trust us with Joseph, although we truly wish him well?"],[12,"Send him out with us tomorrow so that he may enjoy himself and play. And we will really watch over him.”"],[13,"He responded, “It would truly sadden me if you took him away with you, and I fear that a wolf may devour him while you are negligent of him.”"],[14,"They said, “If a wolf were to devour him, despite our strong group, then we would certainly be losers!”"],[15,"And so, when they took him away and decided to throw him into the bottom of the well, We inspired him: “˹One day˺ you will remind them of this deed of theirs while they are unaware ˹of who you are˺.”"],[16,"Then they returned to their father in the evening, weeping."],[17,"They cried, “Our father! We went racing and left Joseph with our belongings, and a wolf devoured him! But you will not believe us, no matter how truthful we are.”"],[18,"And they brought his shirt, stained with false blood. He responded, “No! Your souls must have tempted you to do something ˹evil˺. So ˹I can only endure with˺ beautiful patience! It is Allah’s help that I seek to bear your claims.”"],[19,"And there came some travellers, and they sent their water-boy who let down his bucket into the well. He cried out, “Oh, what a great find! Here is a boy!” And they took him secretly ˹to be sold˺ as merchandise, but Allah is All-Knowing of what they did."],[20,"They ˹later˺ sold him for a cheap price, just a few silver coins—only wanting to get rid of him. "],[21,"The man from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, “Take good care of him, perhaps he may be useful to us or we may adopt him as a son.” This is how We established Joseph in the land, so that We might teach him the interpretation of dreams. Allah’s Will always prevails, but most people do not know."],[22,"And when he reached maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. This is how We reward the good-doers."],[23,"And the lady, in whose house he lived, tried to seduce him. She locked the doors ˹firmly˺ and said, “Come to me!” He replied, “Allah is my refuge! It is ˹not right to betray˺ my master, who has taken good care of me. Indeed, the wrongdoers never succeed.”"],[24,"She advanced towards him, and he would have done likewise, had he not seen a sign from his Lord. This is how We kept evil and indecency away from him, for he was truly one of Our chosen servants."],[25,"They raced for the door and she tore his shirt from the
