(O Muhammad), by revealing the Qur'an to you We narrate to you in the best manner the stories of the past although before this narration you were utterly unaware of them.

Call to mind when Joseph said to his father: "My father! I saw (in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them prostrating themselves before me."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh us waqt ka zikr hai jab Yusuf ne apne baap se kaha “abbajaan , maine khwab dekha hai ke gyarah(eleven) sitarey hain aur Suraj aur Chand hain aur woh mujhey sajda kar rahey hain”

His father said: "My son! Do not relate your dream to your brothers lest they hatch a plot to harm you. Indeed Satan is man's open enemy.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Jawab mein uke baap ne kaha, “beta, apna yeh khwab apne bhaiyon ko na sunana warna woh tere darpe azar ho jayenge(plot any evil scheme against you), haqeeqat yeh hai ke shaytan aadmi ka khula dushman hai

(As you have seen in the dream), so will your Lord choose you (for His task) and will impart to you the comprehension of the deeper meaning of things and will bestow the full measure of His favour upon you and upon the house of Jacob even as He earlier bestowed it in full measure upon your forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Surely your Lord is All- Knowing, All-Wise."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur aisa hi hoga (jaisa tu nay khwab mein dekha hai ke) tera Rubb tujhey (apne kaam ke liye) muntakhab(choose) karega aur tumhey baaton ki teh tak pahunchna sikhayega aur tere upar aur aale Yaqub par apni niyamat usi tarah poori karega jis tarah issey pehle woh tere buzurgon , Ibrahim aur Ishaq par kar chuka hai, yaqeenan tera Rubb aleem (All-Knowing)-o-hakeem hai (All-Wise)”

And call to mind when the brothers of Joseph conferred together and said: "Surely Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than we are, although we are a group of so many. Our father is clearly mistaken.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh qissa yun shuru hota hai ke uske bhaiyon ne aapas mein kaha “yeh Yusuf aur iska bhai, dono hamare walid(baap) ko hum sab se zyada mehboob hai halanke hum ek pura jattha (band) hain. Sacchi baat yeh hai ke hamare abbajaan bilkul hi behak gaye hain

So either kill Joseph or cast him into some distant land so that your father's attention may become exclusively yours. And after so doing become righteous."

Thereupon one of them said: "Do not kill Joseph, but if you are bent upon doing something, cast him down to the bottom of some dark pit, perhaps some caravan passing by will take him out of it."

And they brought Joseph's shirt, stained with false blood. Seeing this their father exclaimed: "Nay (this is not true); rather your evil souls have made it easy for you to commit a heinous act. So I will bear this patiently, and in good grace. It is Allah's help alone that I seek against your fabrication."

The man from Egypt who bought him said to his wife: "Take good care of him, possibly he might be of benefit to us or we might adopt him as a son." Thus We found a way for Joseph to become established in that land and in order that We might teach him to comprehend the deeper meaning of things. Allah has full power to implement His design although most people do not know that.

Misr (Egypt) ke jis shaks ne usey khareeda usne apni biwi se kaha, “isko acchi tarah rakhna, baeed nahin ke yeh hamare liye mufeed(useful) sabit ho ya hum isey beta bana lein”.Is tarah humne Yusuf ke liye us sar-zameen mein qadam jamane ki surat nikali aur usey maamla fahmi ki taleem dene ka intezam kiya.

And it so happened that the lady in whose house Joseph was living, sought to tempt him to herself, and one day bolting the doors she said: "Come on now!" Joseph answered: "May Allah grant me refuge! My Lord has provided an honourable abode for me (so how can I do something so evil)? Such wrong-doers never prosper."

Jis aurat ke ghar mein woh tha woh uspar dorey dalne lagi (began to tempt him) aur ek roz darwaze bandh karke boli “aaja”. Yusuf ne kaha, “khuda ki panaah, mere Rubb ne to mujhey acchi manzilat bakshi (aur main yeh kaam karoon?) Aisey zalim kabhi falaah nahin paya karte”

Then both of them rushed to the door, each seeking to get ahead of the other, and she tore Joseph's shirt from behind. Then both of them found the husband of the lady at the door. Seeing him she said: "What should be the punishment of him who has foul designs on your wife except that he should be imprisoned or subjected to painful chastisement?"

Hearing of their sly talk the chief's wife sent for those ladies, and arranged for them a banquet, and got ready couches, and gave each guest a knife.

Usne jo unki yeh makkarana baatein suni to unko bulawa bhej diya aur unke liye takiya-daar majlis aarasta ki aur ziyafat mein har ek ke aagey ek ek churi (knife) rakh di . (Phir ain us waqt jabke woh phal kaat kaat kar kha rahi thi) usne Yusuf ko ishara kiya ke unke saamne nikal aa. Jab un auraton ki nigaah uspar padi to woh dangg reh gayi aur apne haath kaat baithi aur be- saakhta (spontaneously) pukar utthi “ haasha-lil-laah(God protect us), yeh shaks Insaan nahin hai, yeh to koi buzurg farishta hai”

And when they opened their things they found that their goods had been given back to them. Thereupon they cried: "Father! What else would we desire? Look, even our goods have been given back to us, so we shall go now and bring supplies for our family, we shall protect our brother, and bring another camel-load of corn. That additional supply will be easily secured."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

وَقَالَ يٰبَنِىَّ لَا تَدۡخُلُوۡا مِنۡۢ بَابٍ وَّاحِدٍ وَّادۡخُلُوۡا مِنۡ اَبۡوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍ​ؕ وَمَاۤ اُغۡنِىۡ عَنۡكُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍؕ​ اِنِ الۡحُكۡمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِ​ؕ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ​ۚ وَعَلَيۡهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ الۡمُتَوَكِّلُوۡنَ‏ ٦٧

And he enjoined them: "My sons! Do not enter the city by one gate; rather enter it by different gates. I can be of no help to you against Allah. Allah's command alone prevails. In Him have I put my trust and in Him should all those who have faith put their trust."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Phir usne kaha “ mere bacchon, Misr ke dar-ul-sultanat mein ek darwaze se dakhil na hona balke mukhtalif darwazon se jana. Magar main Allah ki mashiyat se tumko nahin bacha sakta, hukum uske siwa kisi ka bhi nahin chalta. Usi par maine bharosa kiya, aur jisko bhi bharosa karna ho usi par karey”

وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوۡا مِنۡ حَيۡثُ اَمَرَهُمۡ اَبُوۡهُمۡ ؕمَا كَانَ يُغۡنِىۡ عَنۡهُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ اِلَّا حَاجَةً فِىۡ نَفۡسِ يَعۡقُوۡبَ قَضٰٮهَا​ؕ وَاِنَّهٗ لَذُوۡ عِلۡمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمۡنٰهُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ‏  ٦٨

And it so happened that when they entered the city (by many gates) as their father had directed them, this precautionary measure proved ineffective against Allah's will. There was an uneasiness in Jacob's soul which he so tried to remove. Surely he was possessed of knowledge owing to the knowledge that We bestowed upon him. But most people do not know the truth of the matter.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aur waqia bhi yahi hua ke jab woh apne baap ki hidayat ke mutabiq shehar mein (mutafarriq darwazon se) dakhil huey to uski yeh ehtiyati tadbeer Allah ki mashiyat ke muqable mein kuch bhi kaam na aa saki. Haan bas Yaqub ke dil mein jo ek khatak thi usey door karne ke liye usne apni si koshish karli. Beshak woh hamari di hui taleem se saahib-e-ilam tha magar aksar log maamle ki haqeeqat ko jaante nahin hain

When they presented themselves before Joseph, he took his brother aside to himself and said: "Verily I am your own brother Joseph; so do not grieve over the manner they have treated you."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Yeh log Yusuf ke huzoor pahunchey to usne apne bhai ko apne paas alag bula liya aur usey bata diya ke “ main tera wahi bhai hoon (jo khoya gaya tha). Ab tu un baaton ka gham na kar jo yeh log karte rahey hain.”
