Surah Yuusuf (Joseph) - 12

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَاٱلصِّدِّيقُ أَفْتِنَا فِى سَبْعِ بَقَرَٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعِ سُنۢبُلَٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَٰتٍ لَّعَلِّىٓ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ (46

قَالَتَزْرَعُونَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ دَأَبًا فَمَا حَصَدتُّمْ فَذَرُوهُ فِى سُنۢبُلِهِۦٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ (47

ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلَّاقَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ (48

ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَفِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ (49

46.  (And when he came to Joseph in the prison, he exclaimed): Joseph! O thou truthful one! Expound for us the seven fat cows being devoured by seven lean cows and the seven green ears of corn and other (seven) dry, that I may return unto the people, so that they may know.

47.  He said: Ye shall sow seven years as usual, but that which ye reap, leave it in the ear, all save a little which ye eat.

48.  Then after that will come seven hard years which will devour all that ye have prepared for them, save a little of that which ye have stored.

49.  Then, after that, will come a year when the people will have plenteous crops and when they will press (wine and oil).  
46.  Yuusufu  ‘ayyu-has-Siddiqu  ‘aftinaa  fii  sab-‘i  baqa-raatin  simaa-niny-ya’-kulu-hunna  sab-‘un  ‘ijaafunw-wa  sab-‘i  sumbu-laatin  khuzrinw-wa  ‘ukhara  yaa-bisaatil-la-‘alliii  ‘arji-‘u  ‘ilan-naasi  la-‘allahum  ya’-lamuun.

47.  Qaala  tazra-‘uuna  sab-‘a  siniina  da-‘abaa.  Famaa  hasat-tum  fazaruuhu  fii  sumbu-lihiii  ‘illaa  qaliilam-mim-maa  ta’-ku-luun.

48.  summa  ya’-tii  mim-  ba’-di  zaalika  sab-‘un  shidaa-duny-ya’-kulna  maa  qaddam-tum  lahunna  ‘illaa  qaliilam-mim-maa  tuh-sinuun.

49.  Summa  ya’-tii  mim-  ba’-di  zaalika  ‘aamun-  fiihi  yugaa-sun-naasu  wa  fiihi  ya’-siruun.   
   
Commentary

Tuh-sinuun – (you will store) its origin is ‘ihsaan, which has been derived from the word hisnHisn means “Fort”. ‘Ihsaan means “to store in the fortress, to keep saved”.

Yugaasu – (it will be rained), origin of this word is ‘agaasatun, which has come out from the word gaysaGaysa means “rain”. ‘Agaasah means “to rain”.

The courier came to prison and visited Joseph (peace be upon him). He described Him (peace be upon him) the dream of the King and asked for its actual interpretation, so that the King may obtain deliverance from his confusion.

Joseph (peace be upon him) said: Seven fat cows and seven green ears of corn are signs of prosperity for seven years. But seven lean cows and seven dry ears of corn are signs of seven dry years. It meant that after seven years from now, severe famine will occur for seven years, in which the entire acquired grain will be finished save a little quantity for sowing.

He (peace be upon him) described interpretation of the dream as well as explained about suitable remedial measures against the famine too, that from the production of seven years, they should use the quantity of the grain which is necessary, but remaining entire corn should be kept in its ears so that, it may be saved from the insects etc. and used during the period of famine. After the seven dry years, the prosperity will come again.

Natural arrangement

Surah Yuusuf (Joseph) - 12

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ سَبْعَبَقَرَٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعَ سُنۢبُلَٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَٰتٍ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَأُ أَفْتُونِى فِى رُءْيَٰىَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّءْيَا تَعْبُرُونَ (43

  قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَٰثُأَحْلَٰمٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحْلَٰمِ بِعَٰلِمِينَ (44

43.  And the king said: Lo! I saw (in a dream) seven fat cows being devoured by seven lean cows, and seven green ears of corn and other (seven) dry. O notables! Expound for me my vision, if ye can interpret dreams.

44.  They answered: Jumbled dreams! And we are not skilled in the interpretation of dreams.

45.  And he of the two who was released, and (now) at length remembered, said: I am going to announce unto you the interpretation, therefore send me forth.
(Section 6)
43.  Wa  qaalal-maliku  ‘inniii  ‘araa  sab-‘a  baqaraatin  simaa-ninyya’-kuluhunna  sab-‘un  ‘ijaafunw-wa  sab-‘a  sumbu-laa-tin  khuzrinw-wa  ‘ukhara  yaa-bisaat.  Yaaa-‘ayyuhal-mala-‘u  ‘af-tuunii  fii  ru’-yaaya  ‘in  kuntum  lir-ru’-yaa  ta’-buruun.

Commentary

‘Az-gaasu – (bundles, imaginary, jumbled), this word is plural of zig-sun, which means a bundle – two things which are fastened in one bundle wildly.

‘Ahlaam – (dreams, phantasms), it is plural of hul-mun. Hulmun means “a jumbled dream” which is in fact “an imaginary thought”.

At last, the time of freedom in respect of Joseph (peace be upon him) came up. The King of Egypt, named Ryan bin Al-Waliid saw in his dream that seven fat cows were being devoured by seven lean cows, and seven dry spikes; rolled over seven green ears; had been drying them.

The King asked interpretation of his dream from notable persons of his court. They requested: our lord! It is not a dream but jumbled phantasms. Meanwhile, fellow prisoner of Joseph (peace be upon him), who was released and then; he was a cup-bearer of the King and was on duty in the court, remembered about Joseph (peace be upon him). He said: Let me go! I bring the interpretation of this dream very soon.

Explanation of dreams

Surah Yuusuf (Joseph) - 12

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

يَٰصَىٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ أَمَّآ أَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسْقِى رَبَّهُۥ خَمْرًا وَأَمَّا ٱلْءَاخَرُ فَيُصْلَبُ فَتَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِن رَّأْسِهِۦ قُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ  (41)

وَقَالَ لِلَّذِى ظَنَّ أَنَّهُۥ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا ٱذْكُرْنِى عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَىٰهُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِى ٱلسِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ (42

41.  O my two fellow-prisoners! As for one of you, he will pour out wine for his lord to drink; and as for the other, he will be crucified so that the birds will eat from his head. Thus is the case judged concerning which ye did inquire.

42.  And he said unto him of the twain whom he knew would be released: Mention me in the presence of thy lord, but Satan caused him to forget to mention it to his lord, so he (Joseph) stayed in prison for some years.
41.  Yaa-saahiba-yissijni  ‘am-maaa  ‘ahadu-kumaa  fa-yasqii  rabbahuu  khamraa.  Wa  ‘am-mal-‘Aakharu  fa-yuslabu  fata’-kulut-tayru  mir-ra’-sih.  Quzi-yal-‘amrul-lazii  fiihi  tastaf-ti-yaan.

42.  Wa  qaala  lillazii  zanna  ‘annahuu  naajim-minhumaz-kurnii  ‘inda  rabbik.  Fa-‘ansaa-hush-Shay-taanu  zikra  rabbi-hii  falabisa  fis-sijni  biz-‘a  siniin.  

Commentary

Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) described to both prisoners about interpretation of their dreams separately and said: One of you will pour out wine again for his lord to drink, and the other will be crucified and the birds will eat from his head. These both commandments have been prescribed for both of you, which will be certainly as I explained.

Then He {Joseph (peace be upon him)} addressed to the prisoner whom He said that he would pour wine again for his lord to drink and knew that he would be released: Mention me too in the presence of your lord.

Eventually the same happened as it was explained by Joseph (peace be upon him). Cup-bearer of the king was released from the prison and re-appointed on his ex duty. He forgot previous stories. It is a fatal attack of Satan that he causes to be careless from performing good works by ensnaring the mankind in worldly matters.

Belief in the Unity of the Deity - Quran Chapter 12 – 39 & 40 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1507) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 12  39 & 40 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1507) - درس قرآن

Belief in the Unity of the Deity

Surah Yuusuf (Joseph) - 12

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

Attention of the human being can turn unto Allah Almighty by means of His one very clear Epithet, so Joseph (peace be upon him) mentioned at first about that Attribute. The mankind, if there is no disorder or disturbance, occurred in his sense and understanding, certainly feels thankful of other person. Moreover, the person who looks after his all matters and provides him comfort and all things which he needs, he becomes his admirer and says: He is my beneficent and lord. He obeys his every commandment, respects and honors him.

It is obvious that every thing of the world is for the advantage of the human being. Sun, moon, air, water, his close relatives as father, mother, brother and sister etc. all please him. He begins to consider that these all provide him every thing, therefore, he inclines towards them also, and fears them too by thinking that they are more powerful than him, being in anger, they can strike him with the open hand. Therefore he praises them falsely with his tongue, accepts their greatness and love heartily, and admits that they are his lords.

Joseph (peace be upon him) draws their attention unto the same that: these all things are useful for you. If you will say that those are your lords and you will begin to worship them, then; think for a while, how much lords would you have for adoring? Due to ignorance, every individual has chosen any thing from the above as his lord according to own preference. If a man adores the sun, other worships the moon and there are some people who adore stars, some worship their elders and forefathers. Therefore, they all have made their separate gods individually.

Is it not better that; having faith about all of the above that those entire are in subjection to One, Alone, Omnipotent, Almighty and Merciful God, Lord of every creature, and He Alone should be adored? The people who believe in others as their gods, make-believe of the attributes of lord into them themselves. You and your forefathers have fabricated their great names. The Creator of the world has not kept any sign in it, from which, it may be proved that they have attributes of a god. On the contrary, neither they have any power and nor are able to do some thing at their own. Even those do not possess power of looking or hearing. Therefore, you should hear that whatsoever I say, meditate in it and understand. Behold! Sovereignty is only of Allah Almighty. He looks every thing and hears of every animate being. Decision of every matter rests with Him only which is last and final.

The Message of Joseph

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahiminash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

 يَٰصَىٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ءَأَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ (39

39.  O my two fellow prisoners! Are divers lords better, or Allah the One, Almighty?

40.  Those whom ye worship beside Him are but only names which ye have named, ye and your fathers. Allah hath revealed no sanction for them. The decision rests with Allah only. He it is Who hath commanded you that ye worship none save Him. This is the Right Religion, but most men know not.

Commentary

This verse contains that Message which is foundation of Islam. Islam is whole of all beauties. And with effect from the birth of mankind, the entire Prophets (peace be upon them) have taught the same till now. Joseph (peace be upon him) caused to hear this Message to His two fellow prisoners, but Holy Qur’an saved it in the cover of His story for always and for all times in the world. This verse is a soul of this entire Chapter.

The True Religion - Quran Chapter 12 – 38 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1505) - درس قرآن


Quran Chapter 12  38 (Pt-12, Stg-3) (L-1505) - درس قرآن

The True Religion

Surah Yuusuf (Joseph) - 12

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahiminash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast.)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.)

   وَٱتَّبَعْتُمِلَّةَ ءَابَآءِىٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ مَا كَانَ لَنَآ أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ ذَٰلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَايَشْكُرُونَ (38

38.  And I have followed the Religion of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. It beseems not (just) for us to attribute aught as partner to Allah. This is of the Bounty of Allah unto us (the seed of Abraham) and unto mankind, but most men give not thanks.     
38.  Wattaba’-tu  Millata  ‘aabaaa-‘iii  ‘Ibraa-hiima  wa  ‘Is-haaqa  wa  Ya’-quub.  Maa  kaana  lanaaa  ‘an-nushrika  Billaahi  min-  shay’.  Zaalika  min-  faz-Lillaahi  ‘alay-naa  wa  ‘alannaasi  wa  laa-kinna  ‘aksa-rannaasi  laa  yash-kuruun.

Commentary

Joseph (peace be upon him) said to those both prisoners: After forsaking the religion of those people who disbelieve in Allah Almighty and the Day of Resurrection, I have followed that Religion, which was being followed by my fathers {Jacob – father, Isaac – grand-father, and Abraham – great grand-father (peace be upon them)}. None of us is ready to believe that someone else is as equal to God Almighty, or to attribute aught as partner to Him. If we behold after meditating, this Belief of God’s Oneness, which has been made manifest by Messenger Abraham (peace be upon him), is a great Bounty of Allah Almighty unto us {who are seed of Abraham (peace be upon him)} and unto the entire human beings, but maximum people from us have been losing their way and wandering hither and thither due to ignorance. They do neither value the Favors of Allah Almighty and nor feel obliged of Him.

It is known from this explanation that every individual should learn the knowledge of useful matters in accord with own ability and means, and after acquiring knowledge, one should be prepared and try to do good for others with acquired knowledge at convenient situations and suitable places.

Known from it also that there is a particular way of living which is useful for the mankind in this world and which will keep him in comfort and ease even after death. That way is “I should believe that God Almighty is One in Himself and His Attributes. No one is supplier of the wants of mine save Him, and I should never disobey Him”.
