Sura Yusuf from 38 to 43


38. « And I have followed the religion of my fathers, [ 1 ] - Ibrâhîm ( Abraham ) , Ishâq ( Isaac ) and Ya‘qûb ( Jacob ) [ as ] , and never could we attribute any partners whatsoever to Allâh. This is from the Grace of Allâh to us and to mankind, but most men thank not ( i.e. they neither believe in Allâh, nor worship Him ) .»
39. « O two companions of the prison! Are many different lords ( gods ) better or Allâh, the One, the Irresistible?»
40. « You do not worship besides Him but only names which you have named ( forged ) - you and your fathers - for which Allâh has sent down no authority. The command ( or the judgement ) is for none but Allâh. He has commanded that you worship none but Him ( i.e. His Monotheism ) ; that is the ( true ) straight religion, but most men know not.»
41. « O two companions of the prison! As for one of you, he ( as a servant ) will pour out wine for his lord ( king or master ) to drink; and as for the other, he will be crucified and birds will eat from his head. Thus is the case judged concerning which you both did inquire. »
42. And he said to the one whom he knew to be saved: « Mention me to your lord ( i.e. your king, so as to get me out of the prison ) . » But Shaitân ( Satan ) made him forget to mention it to his Lord [ or Satan made Yûsuf ( Joseph ) to forget the remembrance of his Lord ( Allâh ) as to ask for His Help, instead of others ] . So [ Yûsuf ( Joseph ) ] stayed in prison a few ( more ) years.
43. And the king ( of Egypt ) said: « Verily, I saw ( in a dream ) seven fat cows, whom seven lean ones were devouring, and seven green ears of corn, and ( seven ) others dry. O notables! Explain to me my dream, if it be that you can interpret dreams. »
