Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the Verses of the Clear Book.
We have revealed it an Arabic Quran, so that you may understand.
We narrate to you the most accurate history, by revealing to you this Quran. Although, prior to it, you were of the unaware.
When Joseph said to his father, "O my father, I saw eleven planets, and the sun, and the moon; I saw them bowing down to me."
He said, "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers, lest they plot and scheme against you. Satan is man's sworn enemy.
And thus your Lord will choose you, and will teach you the interpretation of events, and will complete His blessing upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He has completed it before upon your forefathers Abraham and Isaac. Your Lord is Knowing and Wise.
In Joseph and his brothers are lessons for the seekers.
When they said, "Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than we are, although we are a whole group. Our father is obviously in the wrong.
"Kill Joseph, or throw him somewhere in the land, and your father's attention will be yours. Afterwards, you will be decent people."
One of them said, "Do not kill Joseph, but throw him into the bottom of the well; some caravan may pick him up—if you must do something."
