00:00:00 --> 00:00:07
			Salam aleikum. This is the Quran,
a new translation by M A. S Abdul
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Halim me learn
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			this begins just number 12.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			There is not a creature that moves
on Earth, whose provision is not
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			his concern.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:31
			He knows where it lives and its
final resting place. It is all
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			there in a clear record.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			It is He Who created the heavens
and the earth and 60s and his
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			throne was on water, so as to test
which of you does best.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			Yet Prophet, if you say to them,
you will be resurrected after
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:52
			death. The disbelievers are short
answer. This is clearly nothing
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			but sorcery.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:59
			If we defer their punishment for a
determined time, they are sure to
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			say what is holding it back. But
on the day it comes upon them
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			nothing will divert it from them.
What they marked will be all
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			around them.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:14
			How desperate and ungrateful man
becomes when we let let him taste
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			our mercy and then withhold it.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			And if we let him taste mercy
after some harm has touched him,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			he is shorter say, misfortune has
gone away from me. He becomes he
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:33
			becomes exalted and boastful. Not
so those who are steadfast to do
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			good deeds, they will have
forgiveness and a great reward.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			So profit, are you going to
abandon some part of what is
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			revealed to you, and let your
heart be oppressed by it? Because
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			they say, Why is no treasure sent
down to him?
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			Why has no angel come with him?
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:58
			You are only there to warn. It is
God who is in charge of
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			everything.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:06
			If they say he has invented it
himself, say, then produce 10
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:11
			invented Soros like it and call in
whoever you can beside God if you
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:11
			are truthful.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			If they do not answer you, then
you will all know that it is sent
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			down containing knowledge from
God, and that there is no god but
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			him.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:28
			Then will you submit to Him, if
any desire only the life of this
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			world, with all its finery, we
shall repay them in full in this
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			life for their deeds, they will be
given no less.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			But such people will have nothing
in the hereafter. But the fire.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:48
			Their work here will be fruitless,
and their deeds futile.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			Can they be compared to those who
have clear proof from their Lord,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			recited by a witness from him and
before it, the book of Moses as a
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			guide and mercy.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			These people believe in it.
Whereas those groups that deny its
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			truth are promised the fire.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			So have no doubt about it,
Prophet. It is the truth from your
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			Lord. Though most people do not
believe so.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			Who could do more wrong than
someone who invents lies about
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			God.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			Such people will be brought before
their Lord, and the witnesses will
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:24
			say
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:31
			these are the ones that lied about
their Lord. God's rejection is the
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			do of those who do such wrong, who
hinder others from God's path,
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:40
			trying to make it crooked, and
deny the life to come. They will
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			not escape on Earth and there will
be no one other than God to
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:49
			protect them. Their punishment
will be doubled. They could not
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			hear and they did not see.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			It is they who will have lost
their souls and what they invented
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:01
			will have deserted them. There is
no doubt they will be the ones to
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:05
			lose the most in the life to come.
But those who believed it good
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			deeds, and humbled themselves
before their Lord will be
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			companions and Paradise. And there
they will stay.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			These two groups are like the
blind and the deaf as compared
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			with those who can see and hear
well, can they be alike? How can
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			you not take heed?
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			We sent Noah to his people to say
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:32
			I have come to you to give a clear
warning. Worship no one but God.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			I fear you will have torment on a
painful day. But the prominent
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:43
			disbelievers among his people said
we can see that you are nothing
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			but a mortal like ourselves.
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			And it is clear to see that only
the lowest among us follow you.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:57
			We cannot see how you are any
better than we are. In fact, we
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			think you are a liar. He said
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			My people think,
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:06
			if I did have a clear sign from my
Lord, and he had given me grace of
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			his own, though it was hidden for
you, could we force you to accept
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:17
			it against your will? My people, I
asked no reward for it from you.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			My reward comes only from God.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:24
			I will not drive away the
faithful. They are short to meet
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			their Lord, I can see you are
foolish.
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:32
			My people who could help me
against God, if I drove the
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:37
			faithful away, will you not take
heed? I am not telling you that I
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			hold God's treasures, or have any
knowledge of what is hidden, or
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			that I am an angel.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			Nor do I say that God will not
grant any good for those who are
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			despised in your eyes.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:58
			God Himself knows best, what is in
their souls. If I did this, I
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:04
			would be one of the wrongdoers.
They said, Noah, you have argued
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			with us for too long. Bring down
on us the punishment you threaten
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			us with if you were telling the
truth. He said
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:16
			it is God who will bring it down
if he wishes and you will not be
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:21
			able to escape. My advice will be
no use to you If god wishes to
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			leave you to your delusions, He is
your Lord and to Him you will be
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:26
			returned.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:34
			If these disbelievers say, he has
made this up, say Mohamed, if I
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
			have made this up, I am
responsible for my own crime. But
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			I am innocent of the crimes you
come in.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:46
			It was revealed to know none of
your people will believe other
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:50
			than those who have already done
so. So do not be distressed by
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			what they do.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:58
			Build the art under our watchful
eyes and with our inspiration. Do
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			not plead with me. For those who
have done evil, they will be
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			drowned.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			So he began to build the ark. And
whenever leaders of his people
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:12
			passed by, they laughed at him. He
said, You may scorn us now but we
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:17
			will come to scorn you, you will
find out who will receive a
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:21
			humiliating punishment and on whom
a lasting suffering will descend.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			When what we commanded came and
water gushed up out of the earth.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:32
			We said place on board this arc, a
pair of each species and your own
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:37
			family except to those against
whom the sentence has already been
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:37
			passed.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:42
			And those who have believed,
though only a few believed with
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:49
			him. He said, For the ark, in the
name of God, it shall sail and
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			anchor. My God is Most Forgiving
and Merciful.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:59
			It sailed with them on waves like
mountains, and Noah called out to
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:03
			his son who stayed away, come
aboard with us, my son, do not
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			stay with the disbelievers.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			But he replied,
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			I will seek refuge on a mountain
to save me from the water. Noah
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			said, today there is no refuge
from what God has commanded.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:21
			Except for those on whom He has
mercy. The waves cut them off from
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			each other and he was among the
drowned.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			Then it was said,
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:33
			Earth swallow up your water and
sky hold back. And the water
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			subsided. The command was
fulfilled.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:41
			The Ark settled on Mount Judy, and
it was said, Gone are those evil
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:47
			doing people now are called out to
his Lord saying, My Lord, my son
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:53
			was one of my family and your
promise is true. And you are the
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			most just of all judges.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:56
			God said
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:03
			no, he was not one of your family.
What he did was not right. Do not
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			ask me for things you know nothing
about. I am warning you not to be
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:14
			foolish. He said, My Lord, I take
refuge with you from asking for
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18
			things I know nothing about. If
you do not forgive me and have
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:23
			mercy on me, I shall be one of the
losers. And it was said Noah,
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:28
			descend in peace from us with
blessings on you and some of the
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:32
			communities that will spring from
those who are with you. There will
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36
			be others we will we will allow to
enjoy life for a time.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			But then a painful promet
punishment from us will afflict
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			them.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			These accounts are part of what
was beyond your knowledge one
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:52
			month. We reveal them to you.
Neither you nor your people knew
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:57
			them before now. So be patient.
The future belongs to those who
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			are aware of God to the art
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:06
			We sent their brotherhood. He
said, My people worship God.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:12
			You have no god other than Him.
You are only making up lies. I
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:17
			asked no reward from you, my
people, my reward comes only from
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:21
			Him Who created me. Why do you not
use your reason?
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:28
			My people, ask forgiveness from
your Lord and return to Him. He
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:32
			will send down for you rain in
abundance from the sky and give
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:36
			you extra strength. Do not turn
away and be lost in your sins.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:42
			They replied, who you have not
brought us any clear evidence, we
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:47
			will not forsake our gods on the
strength of your word alone. Nor
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			will we believe in you.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:54
			All we can say is that one of our
gods may have afflict inflicted
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			some harm on you.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:03
			He said, I call God to witness and
you two are my witnesses, that I
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:07
			disowned those you set up as
partners with God. So plot against
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:13
			me, all of you, and give me no
respite. I put my trust in God, my
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:18
			lord, and your Lord, there is no
moving creature, which he does not
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:22
			control. My Lord's way is
straight.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:28
			But if you turn away, then I have
conveyed the message with which I
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:32
			was sent to you. And my Lord will
bring another people in your
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:38
			place. You cannot do him any harm.
It is my lord who protects
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			everything.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:45
			And so when our judgment came to
pass by our grace, we saved who'd
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50
			and his fellow believers, we saved
them from a severe punishment.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:57
			These were the odd, they rejected
their Lord signs, disobeyed his
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:02
			messengers, and follow the command
of every obstinate tyrant. They
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:06
			were rejected in this life, and so
they shall be on the Day of
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:12
			Judgment. Yes, the odd denied
their Lord. So away with the odd
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			the people of Hood,
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:20
			to the farmer, we sent their
brother Sunday. He said, My people
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:26
			worship God, you have no god other
than him. It was he who brought
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:30
			you into being from the earth, and
made you inhabited. So ask
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:36
			forgiveness from him and turn back
to him. My Lord is near and ready
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			to answer.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:43
			They said, Sally, we used to have
such great hope in you.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:48
			Will you forbid us to worship what
our fathers worshipped?
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:53
			We are in grave doubt about what
you are asking us to do.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:00
			He said, My people just think, if
I did have clear proof from my
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:05
			Lord, and if he had given me mercy
of his own, who could protect me
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			from God, if I disobeyed Him,
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:10
			you would only make my last
grader.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:17
			My people, this camel belongs to
God assigned for you. So leave it
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:22
			the pastor on God's earth and do
not harm it. Or you will soon be
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			punished.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:30
			But they hamstrung it. So he said,
enjoy life for another three days.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			This warning will not prove false.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:40
			And so when our command was
fulfilled by our mercy, we save
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			solid and his fellow believers
from the disgrace of that day.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:49
			Prophet. It is your Lord who is
the strong, the mighty one.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			The blast struck the evil doers
and they lay dead in their homes
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:00
			as though they had never lived and
flourish there. Yes, the thumb who
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			denied their Lord, so away with
the thumb
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:10
			to Abraham, our messengers brought
good news. They said, peace, He
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			answered, peace, and without
delay, he brought in a roasted
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			calf.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			When he saw that their hands did
not reach towards the meal. He
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			found this strange and became
afraid of them.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:28
			But they said, Do not be afraid.
We have been sent against the
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			people of loot.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:35
			His wife was standing nearby and
laughed. We gave her good news of
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:42
			Isaac and after him of Jacob. She
said, Alas for me. How am I to
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			bear a child when I am an old
woman? And my husband here is an
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:52
			old man. That would be a strange
thing. They said, are you
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:57
			astonished at what God ordains the
grace of God and His blessings be
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			upon you people of this house.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			For He is worthy of all plant
praise and glory.
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:09
			Then when the fear left Abraham,
and the good news came to him, he
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:14
			pleaded with us for lots people.
For Abraham was forbearing, tender
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:21
			hearted and devout. Abraham, cease
your pleading, what your Lord has
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			ordained has come about punishment
is coming to them, which cannot be
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			turned back.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			And when Our messengers came
along,
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:35
			he was anxious for them, feeling
powerless to protect them, and
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:41
			said, This is a truly terrible
day. His people came rushing
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:46
			towards him, they used to commit
foul deeds. He said, My People,
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:52
			here are my daughters. They are
cleaner for you. So have some fear
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:57
			of God and do not disgrace me with
my guests. Is there not a single
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:03
			right minded man among you? They
said, You know very well, that we
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:07
			have no claim whatsoever to your
daughters, you know very well,
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			what we want. He said,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			If only I had the strength to stop
you, or could rely on strong
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			support.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:22
			They, the messengers said, Look,
we are your Lord's messengers,
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			they will not reach you. Leave
with your household in the dead of
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			night and let none of you turn
back. Only your wife will suffer
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			the fate that befalls the others.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:38
			their appointed time is the
morning is the morning not near.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:43
			And so when what we had ordained
came about, we turn their town
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:49
			upside down and rain down stones
have baked clay on it, layer upon
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:54
			layer marked from your Lord. It is
not far from the evildoers
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:01
			and 2 million. We sent their
Brother Chu a. He said, My people
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:07
			worship God. You have no god other
than Him. Do not give short
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			measure nor short wait.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:14
			I see you are prospering. But I
fear you will have torment on a
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:19
			overwhelming day. My people in
fairness, give full measure and
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:23
			wait. Do not withhold from people
things that are rightly theirs,
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			and do not spread corruption in
the land.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:31
			What lasts with God is best for
you if you are believers, I am not
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:37
			your keeper. They said should i
Does your prayer tell you that we
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:41
			should abandon what our
forefathers worshipped and refrain
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:46
			from doing whatever we please with
our own property? Indeed, you are
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			a tolerant and sensible man. He
answered.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:56
			My people, can you not see what if
I am acting on clear evidence from
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:01
			my Lord? He himself has given me
good provision. I do not want to
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:07
			do what I am forbidding you to do?
I only want to put things right as
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:11
			far as I can. I cannot succeed
without God's help.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			I trust in Him and always turn to
him.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:22
			My people do not loot let your
opposition to me bring upon you a
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:27
			similar fate to the peoples of
Noah, or Houde or Solly. The
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:32
			people of loot are not far away
from you. Ask forgiveness from
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:36
			your Lord and turn to him in
repentance. My Lord is merciful
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			and most loving.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:44
			They said shockwave we do not
understand much of what you say.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			And we find you very weak in our
myths.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:53
			But for your tribe, we would have
stoned you for you have no great
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:59
			status among us. He said, My
People, does my tribe have more
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			power over us and God?
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			How can you ignore him?
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			My Lord is fully aware of
everything you do.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:14
			My people do whatever is within
your power, and I will do
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:18
			likewise. Soon you will know who
will receive a disgraceful
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:23
			punishment and who is a liar.
Watch out and so ally
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:29
			when what we had ordained came
about in our mercy we saved Shu
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:34
			Ayub and his fellow believers. But
a mighty blast struck the
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:38
			wrongdoers by morning they lay
dead in their homes, as if they
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:43
			had never lived and flourished
there. Yes, away with the people
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:46
			of median, just like the thumb.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:52
			We also sent Moses with our signs
and clear authority to Pharaoh and
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57
			his supporters, but they followed
Pharaohs orders and Pharaohs
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			orders were not rightly guided he
will
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			be at the forefront of his people
on the Day of Resurrection,
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:08
			leading them down towards the
fire. What a foul drinking place
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:13
			to be led to. They were pursued by
God's rejection in this life, and
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:18
			will be on the day of resurrection
to what a foul gift to be given.
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:25
			We relate to you Mohammed, such
accounts of earlier towns, some of
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:30
			them are still standing, some of
them have been mown down. We did
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:35
			not wrong them, they wrong
themselves. Their gods which they
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:40
			called on beside God, were no use
to them. When what your Lord had
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:43
			ordained came about, they only
increased their ruin,
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:48
			such as the punishment of your
Lord, for towns in the midst of
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			their sins, his punishment is
terrible and severe.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			There truly is a sign in this for
anyone who fears the punishment of
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			the Hereafter.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:03
			That is a day in which all people
will be gathered together a day
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			for all to see.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:09
			We are delaying it only for a
specified period. And when that
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:14
			day comes, no soul will speak
except by His permission, and some
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			of them will be wretched and some
happy.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:23
			The wretched ones will be in the
fire, sighing and groaning there
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:27
			to remain for as long as the
heavens and earth endure, unless
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:32
			your Lord wills otherwise. Your
Lord carries out whatever He
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			wills.
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38
			As for those who have been
blessed, they will be in paradise,
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:43
			there to remain as long as the
heavens and earth endure, unless
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			your Lord wills otherwise, an
unceasing gift.
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:53
			So Prophet, have no doubt about
what these people worship. It is
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:56
			merely what their fathers
worshipped before them. And we
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:00
			shall certainly give them their
share in full without any
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			reduction.
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			We gave Moses the Scripture before
you,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:10
			but differences arose about it.
And if it had not been for a prior
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			word from your Lord, a decision
would already have been made
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:17
			between them. Though they are in
grave doubt about it.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:22
			Your Lord will give everyone full
due for whatever they have done.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			He is aware of everything they do.
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			So keep to the right course as you
have been commanded. Together with
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:36
			those who have turned to God with
you. Do not overstep the limits
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:42
			for He sees everything you do. Do
not rely on those who do evil, or
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			the fire may touch you and then
you will have no one to protect
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			you from God, nor will you be
helped
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:53
			Prophet, keep up the prayer at
both ends of the day and during
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:58
			parts of the night. For good
things drive that away. This is a
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			reminder for those who are aware.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:06
			Be steadfast, God does not let the
rewards of those who do good go to
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:11
			waste. If only there had been
among the generations before your
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:16
			time, people with a remnant of
good sense to forbid corruption on
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:21
			the earth. We saved only a few of
them, while the unjust pursued the
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:26
			enjoyment of plenty and persisted
in sin. Your Lord would not
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:30
			destroy any town without cause if
it's people were acting
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			righteously.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:36
			If your Lord had pleased, he would
have made all people a single
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:40
			community. But they continue to
have their differences except
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:45
			those on whom Your Lord has mercy.
For He created them to be this
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:49
			way, and the word of your Lord is
final. I shall definitely fill a
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52
			* with both jinn and men.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			So Mohammed,
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:59
			which tell you the stories of the
prophets, to make your heart firm,
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03
			and in these accounts, truth has
come to you, as well as lessons
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:08
			and reminders for the believers
saith it say to those who do not
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:14
			believe, do whatever you can. We
too, are doing what we can and
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:17
			wait. We too are waiting.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:23
			All that is hidden in the heavens
and earth belongs to God. And all
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:28
			authority goes back to him. So
Prophet, worship him and put your
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:33
			trust in him. Your Lord is never
unaware of what all of you are
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			doing.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:39
			This is the end of Surah number
11.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			Surah number 12. Joseph,
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:51
			in the name of God, the Lord have
mercy, the Giver of Mercy.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			Alif Lam, rah.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:58
			These are the verses of the
scripture that makes things clear.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			We have
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			sent it down as an Arabic Quran,
so that you people may understand.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:09
			We tell you Prophet, the best of
stories and revealing this Quran
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:14
			to you. Before this, you were one
of those who knew nothing about
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:21
			them. Joseph said to his father,
Father, I dreamed of 11 stars, and
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:25
			the sun and the moon. I saw them
all bow down before me. And he
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:30
			replied, My son, tell your
brothers nothing of the stream, or
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:34
			they may plot to harm you. Satan
is man sworn enemy.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:40
			This is about how your Lord will
choose you, teach you to interpret
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:44
			dreams and perfect his blessing on
you. And the house of Jacob, just
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:49
			as he perfected it earlier, on
your forefathers, Abraham and is
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:53
			hawk. Your Lord is all knowing,
and wise.
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:58
			There are lessons in the story of
Joseph and his brothers for all
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:58
			who seek them.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:04
			The brothers said to each other,
although we are many, Joseph and
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:09
			his brother are dear to our father
than we are. Our father is clearly
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			in the wrong.
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:16
			One of them said, Kill Joseph
would banish him to another land,
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			and your father's attention will
be free to turn to you.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:26
			After that, you can be righteous.
Another of them said, do not kill
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:31
			Joseph. But if you must throw him
into the hidden depths of a well,
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			where some caravan may pick him
up,
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:40
			they said to their father, why do
you not trust us with Joseph? We
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			wish him well. Send him with us
tomorrow and he will enjoy himself
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			and play. We will take good care
of him. He replied.
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:55
			The thought of you taking him away
with you worries me. I am afraid a
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:57
			wolf may eat him when you are not
paying attention.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:03
			They said, If a wolf were to eat
him when there are so many of us,
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			we would truly be losers.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:11
			Then they took him away with him,
resolved upon throwing him into
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:15
			the hidden depths of well. We
inspired him saying,
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:20
			you will tell them of all this at
a time when they do not realize
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:21
			who you are.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			And a night for they returned to
their father weeping.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:31
			They said we went off erasing one
another, leaving Joseph behind
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			with our things and a wolf aid
him.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			You will not believe us, though we
are telling the truth.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:43
			And they showed him his shirt,
deceptively stained with blood. He
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:48
			cried. No. Your souls have
prompted you to do wrong.
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:54
			But it is best to be patient. From
God alone, I seek help to bear
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			what you are saying.
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			Some travelers came by
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			they sent someone to draw water
and let down his bucket.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			Good news, he exclaimed. Here is a
boy.
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:13
			They hit him like a piece of
merchandise. God was well aware of
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:18
			what they did, and then sold him
for a small price for a few pieces
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:21
			of silver. So Little did they
value him
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:28
			the Egyptian who bought him set to
his wife, look after him well, he
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:33
			may be useful to us, or we may
adopt him as a son. In this way,
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36
			we settled Joseph in that land,
and later taught him how to
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:41
			interpret dreams. God always
prevails in his purpose. Though
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			most people do not realize it.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:49
			When he reached maturity, we gave
him judgment and knowledge. This
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			is how we reward those who do
good.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:56
			The woman in whose house he was
living tried to seduce him.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:02
			She bolted the doors and said,
Come to me. And he replied, God
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:07
			forbid my master has been good to
me. wrongdoers never prosper.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:12
			She made for him and he would have
succumbed to her if he had not
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			seen evidence of his Lord.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:19
			We did this in order to keep evil
and indecency away from him.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			For he was truly one of our chosen
servants.
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26
			They raised for the door.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:31
			She tore his shirt from behind and
at the door they met her husband.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33
			She said
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:39
			what other than prison or painful
punishment should be the reward of
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:45
			someone who tried to dishonor your
wife. But he said she tried to
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			seduce me. A member of her
household suggested
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:53
			if his shirt is torn at the front
than it is she who is telling the
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			truth and He who is lying.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			But if it is torn at the back
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			Then she is lying and he is
telling the truth.
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:06
			When the husband saw that the
shirt was torn at the back, he
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:06
			said,
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:12
			this is another instance of
women's treachery. Your treachery
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:17
			is truly great. Joseph, overlook
this, that you wife asked
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:20
			forgiveness for your sin you have
done wrong.
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:26
			Some women of the city said the
governor's wife is trying to
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:30
			seduce her slave. Love for him
consumes her heart.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			It is clear to us that she has
gone astray.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:38
			When she heard their malicious
talk, she prepared a banquet and
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:44
			sent for them, giving each of them
knife. She said to Joseph, come
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			out and show yourself to them.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:51
			And when the women saw him, they
were stunned by his beauty and cut
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:57
			their hands exclaiming, great God,
he cannot be mortal. He must be a
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			precious angel. She said,
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:05
			this is the one you blamed me for.
I tried to seduce him and he
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:06
			wanted to remain chaste.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:12
			But if he does not do what I come
in now, he will be put in prison
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:18
			in degradative. Joseph said, My
Lord, I would prefer prison to
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			what these women are calling me to
do.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:25
			If you do not protect me from
their treachery, I shall yield to
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:26
			them and do wrong.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			And his LORD answered his prayer
and protected him from their
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			treachery. He is the All Hearing
the All Knowing.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:39
			In the end, they thought it best
after seeing all the signs of his
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:43
			innocence, that they should
imprison him for a while. Two
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:49
			young men went into prison
alongside him. One of them said, I
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:54
			dream that I was pressing grapes.
The other said, I dream that I was
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			carrying bread on my head, and
that the birds were eating it.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:01
			They said, tell us what this
means, we can see that you are a
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02
			knowledgeable man.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:09
			He said, I can tell you what this
means, if for any meal, provided
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:13
			for you arrives. This is part of
what My Lord has taught me.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:18
			I reject the face of those who
disbelieve in God and deny the
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			life to come.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:25
			And I follow the faith of my
forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:25
			Jacob.
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:31
			We would never worship anything
beside God. This is part of God's
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:35
			grace to us and to all mankind.
But most people are ungrateful.
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:40
			fellow prisoners would many
diverse Gods be better than God,
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:45
			the One, the all powerful. All
those you worship instead of
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:48
			hammer me your names, you and your
forefathers invented,
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			names for which God has sent down
no sanction.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			authority belongs to God alone,
and he orders you to worship none
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			but Him.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:03
			This is the true faith. Though
most people do not realize it.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:11
			fellow prisoners, one of you will
serve as master with wine, the
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:14
			other will be crucified and the
birds will peck in his head.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:19
			That is the end of the matter on
which you asked my opinion.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:24
			Joseph said to the one he knew
would be saved, mentioned me to
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:25
			your master.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:30
			But Satan made him forget to do
this. And so Joseph stayed in
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:32
			prison for a number of years.
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:38
			The king said, I dreamed about
seven fat cows being eaten by
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:43
			seven lean ones, seven green ears
of corn and seven others withered
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:49
			councilors if you can interpret
dreams tell me the meaning of my
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			dream. They said
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:55
			these are confusing dreams and we
are not skilled at dream
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			interpretation.
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:01
			But the prisoner who had been
freed at last remember Joseph and
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:05
			said, I shall tell you what this
means give me leave to go.
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:13
			truthful, Joseph. Tell us the
meaning of seven fat cows being
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:17
			eaten by seven lean months, seven
green ears of corn and seven
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:21
			others were withered. Then I can
return to the people to inform
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:23
			them. Joseph said
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:30
			you will so for seven consecutive
years as usual. store all that you
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:33
			reap left in the ear apart from
the little you eat.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35
			After that
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:40
			will come seven years of hardship
which will consume all but a
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:45
			little of what you stored up for
them. After that will come a year
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:50
			when the people will have abundant
rain and we'll press grapes. The
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:53
			king said Bring him to me.
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:59
			But when the messenger came to
fetch Joseph, he said go back to
		
00:34:59 --> 00:34:59
			your master
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			and ask him about what happened to
those women who cut their hands.
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:07
			My lord knows all about their
treachery
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:13
			The king asked the woman what
happened when you tried to seduce
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:13
			Joseph?
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:19
			They said God forbid we know
nothing bad of him. And the
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:24
			governor's wife said Now the truth
is out. It was I who tried to
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			seduce him he is an honest man
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28
			Joseph said
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:33
			this was for my master to know
that I did not betray him behind
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:37
			his back. God does not guide the
mischief of the treacherous
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:42
			This is the end of Jos number 12.
