And his people came rushing towards him, and they had been long in the habit of practising abominations. He said: "O my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye marry)! Now fear Allah, and cover me not with shame about my guests! Is there not among you a single right-minded man?"

"But ask forgiveness of your Lord, and turn unto Him (in repentance): For my Lord is indeed full of mercy and loving-kindness."

So they did take him away, and they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well: and We put into his heart (this Message): 'Of a surety thou shalt (one day) tell them the truth of this their affair while they know (thee) not'

He said: "O my Lord! the prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me: Unless Thou turn away their snare from me, I should (in my youthful folly) feel inclined towards them and join the ranks of the ignorant."

Now when they came into Joseph's presence, he received his (full) brother to stay with him. He said (to him): "Behold! I am thy (own) brother; so grieve not at aught of their doings."

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."

The Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Truly Allah leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence,-

Those to whom We have given the Book rejoice at what hath been revealed unto thee: but there are among the clans those who reject a part thereof. Say: "I am commanded to worship Allah, and not to join partners with Him. Unto Him do I call, and unto Him is my return."

Has not the story reached you, (O people!), of those who (went) before you? - of the people of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud? - And of those who (came) after them? None knows them but Allah. To them came messengers with Clear (Signs); but they put their hands up to their mouths, and said: "We do deny (the mission) on which ye have been sent, and we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which ye invite us."

And We made known this decree to him, that the last remnants of those (sinners) should be cut off by the morning.

We know indeed that they say, "It is a man that teaches him." The tongue of him they wickedly point to is notably foreign, while this is Arabic, pure and clear.

But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

He said, "Nay, throw ye first!" Then behold their ropes and their rods-so it seemed to him on account of their magic - began to be in lively motion!

But Satan whispered evil to him: he said, "O Adam! shall I lead thee to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?"

Not a messenger did We send before thee without this inspiration sent by Us to him: that there is no god but I; therefore worship and serve Me.

So he broke them to pieces, (all) but the biggest of them, that they might turn (and address themselves) to it.

So We inspired him (with this message): "Construct the Ark within Our sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our Command, and the fountains of the earth gush forth, take thou on board pairs of every species, male and female, and thy family- except those of them against whom the Word has already gone forth: And address Me not in favour of the wrong-doers; for they shall be drowned (in the Flood).

But if the right is on their side, they come to him with all submission.

Be quite sure that to Allah doth belong whatever is in the heavens and on earth. Well doth He know what ye are intent upon: and one day they will be brought back to Him, and He will tell them the truth of what they did: for Allah doth know all things.

And they say: "What sort of a messenger is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him?

"Or (Why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or why has he (not) a garden for enjoyment?" The wicked say: "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched."

They say: "If we were to follow the guidance with thee, we should be snatched away from our land." Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary, to which are brought as tribute fruits of all kinds,- a provision from Ourselves? but most of them understand not.

"For ye do worship idols besides Allah, and ye invent falsehood. The things that ye worship besides Allah have no power to give you sustenance: then seek ye sustenance from Allah, serve Him, and be grateful to Him: to Him will be your return.

It is Allah Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; then shall ye be brought back to Him.

Turn ye back in repentance to Him, and fear Him: establish regular prayers, and be not ye among those who join gods with Allah,-

When trouble touches men, they cry to their Lord, turning back to Him in repentance: but when He gives them a taste of Mercy as from Himself, behold, some of them pay part-worship to other god's besides their Lord,-

He rules (all) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will (all affairs) go up to Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be (as) a thousand years of your reckoning.

If any do seek for glory and power,- to Allah belong all glory and power. To Him mount up (all) Words of Purity: It is He Who exalts each Deed of Righteousness. Those that lay Plots of Evil,- for them is a Penalty terrible; and the plotting of such will be void (of result).

Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him).

When some trouble toucheth man, he crieth unto his Lord, turning to Him in repentance: but when He bestoweth a favour upon him as from Himself, (man) doth forget what he cried and prayed for before, and he doth set up rivals unto Allah, thus misleading others from Allah's Path. Say, "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the Fire!"

他的宗族仓猝地到他的家里来，他们向来是作恶的。他说：“我的宗族啊！这些是我的女儿，她们对于你们是更纯洁的。你们应当敬畏真主，你们对于我的客人们不要使我丢脸。难道你们当中没有一个精神健全的人吗？”

你们应当向你们的主求饶，然后，向他悔过，我的主确是至慈的，确是至爱的。”

当他们把他带走，并且一致决定把他投入井底的时候，我启示他说：“将来你必定要把他们这件事，在他们不知不觉的时候，告诉他们。”

他说：“我的主啊！我宁愿坐牢，也不愿响应她们的召唤。如果你不为我排除她们的诡计，我将依恋她们，我将变成愚人。”

当他们进去见优素福的时候，他拥抱他弟弟，他说：“我确是你哥哥，你不要为他们过去的所作所为而悲伤吧。”

当他们进去见优素福的时候，他拥抱他的双亲，他说：“你们平安地进挨及吧！如果真主意欲。”

不信道的人们说：“怎么没有一种迹象从他的主降临他呢？”你说：“真主必定使他所意欲者误入迷途，必定使归依他的人走上正路。”

蒙我赏赐经典的人喜欢降示给你的经典，同盟者当中，有人否认这经典的一部分。你说：“我只奉命崇拜真主，而不以物配他，我只号召人崇拜他，我只归依他。”

你们以前的民族--努哈的宗族、阿德人、赛莫德人和他们以后的人，只有真主能知道他们--难道这等人的消息没有来临你们吗？他们族中的使者昭示他们许多明证，但他们把自己的手指插入口内，说：“我们必定不信你们所奉的使命，我们对于你们所宣传的事情，确是在使人不安的疑惑之中。”

我启示他这个判决：就是这等人，在早晨将被根除。

我的确知道，他们说过：”这只是一个凡人所传授的。”他们所倾向的那个人的语言是化外人（的语言），而这（部经典的语言）是明白的阿拉伯语。

她就指一指那个婴儿，他们说：“我们怎能对摇篮里的婴儿说话呢？”

他说：“还是你们先抛吧！”他们的绳子和拐杖，在他看来，好象是因他们的魔术而蜿蜒的。

嗣后，恶魔诱惑他说：“阿丹啊！我指示你长生树，和不朽园好吗？”

在你之前，我所派遣的使者，都奉到我的启示： 除我之外绝无应受崇拜的。所以你们应当崇拜我。

他把偶像打碎了，只留下一个最大的，以便他们转回来问他。

我就启示他说：“你在我的照顾下，依我的启示而造船。当我的命令来临，而洪水泛滥于地面的时候，你把每种动物，各取一对，放在船上，使你的家属也上船去；他们中已被判决者除外。你不要为不义者而祈祷我，他们必然被淹死。

如果他们有理，他们就贴服地忙来见他。

真的，天地万物，确是真主的。他确已知道你们的实情。 当他们被召到主那里之日，他要把他们的行为告诉他们。真主是全知万事的。

他们说：“这个使者怎么也吃饭，也往来于市场之间呢？ 为何真主不派一个天神降临他，而与他同为警告者，

或者把一个财宝赏赐他，或者他有一座果园，供他食用呢？”不义者说：“你们只顺从一个被蛊惑者。”

他们说：“如果我们与你共同遵守正道，我们将被驱逐出境。”难道我没有为他们而设立一个安全的禁地吗？各种的果实，都贩运到禁地中来，那是从我降下的给养，但他们大半不知道。

除真主外，你们只崇拜偶像，你们只捏造妄言。你们舍真主而崇拜的（偶像），不能主持你们的给养，所以，你们应当到真主那里寻求给养，你们应当崇拜他，你们应当感谢他，你们只被召归他。

真主创造众生，然后再造他们，然后，你们被召归于他。

你们应当归依真主，应当敬畏他，应当谨守拜功，不要做以物配主者，

人们遭难的时候，祈祷他们的主，同时归依他。当他使他们尝试他的恩惠的时候，他们中的一部分人，立刻以物配主，

他治理自天至地的事物，然后那事物在一日之内上升到他那里，那一日的长度，是你们所计算的一千年。

欲得光荣者，须知光荣全归真主。良言将为他所知，他升起善行。图谋不轨者，将受严厉的刑罚；这些人的图谋，是不能得逞的。

众人就急急忙忙地来看他，

遭遇患难的时候，祈祷他的主，而归依他。然后，他赏赐他一种恩惠的时候，他就忘却以前曾祈求真主解除患难，而且为他树立若干匹敌，以致别人迷失真主的大道。你说：“你暂时享受你的不信吧！你必定是居住火狱的。
