<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 93[/INST]Take this shirt of mine and cast it over my father’s face; he will recover his sight. (Then) bring me the whole of your family.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 94[/INST]When the caravan left (Egypt), his father (Ya‘qub [Jacob]) said (while sitting in Canaan): ‘If you do not consider me unstable due to senility, I am smelling the fragrance of Yusuf (Joseph).’</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 96[/INST]But when the bearer of the glad tidings arrived, and he cast that shirt over Ya‘qub (Jacob’s) face, his sight returned the same moment. Ya‘qub (Jacob) said: ‘Did I not say to you that I know from Allah what you do not know?’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 97[/INST]They said: ‘O our father, seek for us forgiveness (from Allah) for our sins. Indeed we alone are the sinners.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 98[/INST]Ya‘qub (Jacob) said: ‘Soon shall I pray to my Lord for forgiveness for you. Indeed He alone is Most Forgiving Ever-Merciful.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 99[/INST]Then, when they (i.e. all the members of the family) came to Yusuf (Joseph, he presented them a reception outside the city in the form of a royal procession comprising extensive transport arrangements, soldiers and general public, and) he venerated his parents and made them sit beside him, (or embraced them,) and (offering them welcome) said: ‘Enter Egypt and if Allah so wills (then stay here) with peace and comfort.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 100[/INST]And he seated his parents on the throne and they (all) fell down prostrate before Yusuf (Joseph) and Yusuf (Joseph) said: ‘O father, this is the interpretation of (that) dream of mine which I had seen (long) before. (To most of the commentators it took forty years.) And my Lord has surely proved it true. And indeed He did me a (great) favour when He took me out of the prison and brought all of you (here) from the desert after Satan had stirred up discord between me and my brothers. The fact is that my Lord makes easy with (His) plan whatever He wills. Indeed He alone is All-Knowing, Most Wise.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 101[/INST]O my Lord! Verily You granted me dominion and blessed me with the knowledge of the interpretation of dreams. O Creator of the heavens and the earth, You are my Helper in this world and in the Hereafter (as well). Make me die in a state of total submission to (Din [Religion] of) Islam and make me join the company of those who are upright.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 102[/INST]O My Esteemed Beloved! This (narrative) is of the news of the unseen which We are revealing to you and you were not present with them when they (Yusuf [Joseph’s] brothers) were co-working to conclude their conspiracy and were plotting to deceive.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 103[/INST]And most people will not believe even if you (so ardently) desire.</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 105[/INST]And how many a Sign is there in the heavens and the earth which these people pass by but they are heedless of them!</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 106[/INST]And most of them do not believe in Allah, but that they are polytheists.</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 109[/INST]And before you also We sent men alone from among the inhabitants of (various) towns to whom We sent Revelations. Have they not travelled in the land so that they might (themselves) witness what was the end of those before them? And surely the Home in the Hereafter has far greater value for the Godfearing. Do you not have reason?</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 110[/INST]Until when the Messengers despaired (of their disobedient people,) and those denying communities developed this scepticism that they were told a lie (i.e. they will not be tormented), Our help reached the Messengers. Then We delivered whom We willed. And Our torment is not averted from the people committed to do evil.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 12 verse 111[/INST]Truly in their stories there is a lesson of warning for men of understanding. This (Qur’an) is not a Revelation that can be forged but a confirmation of those (revealed Books) which were revealed before it, an explanation of everything and guidance and mercy for those who believe.</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 2[/INST]And Allah is He Who has raised aloft the heavens (in space) without pillars (as) you see; then He settled Himself on the Throne of His Authority (encompassing the entire universe) and fettered the sun and the moon to a system, each moving (in its respective orbit to complete its rotation) during its appointed term. He alone devises strategies for the total system (of the entire universe) and vividly manifests (all the) Signs (or the laws of nature) so that you may develop firm faith in appearing face to face before your Lord.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 3[/INST]And He is the One Who spread out the earth (despite its being round) and brought about mountains and rivers in it and produced pairs of (genders) two each among all kinds of fruits (as well. He is the One Who) stretches the cover of the night over the day. Indeed there are (many) Signs in it for those who meditate.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 4[/INST]And there are in the earth tracts (of different kinds) that are adjacent to each other and the gardens of grapes and crops and palm trees, clustered and non-clustered. All these are irrigated with the same water. And (despite that) We make some of them superior to others in taste. Verily there are (great) Signs in it for the people who apply reason.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 5[/INST]And if you are surprised (at the denial of the disbelievers), then (more) surprising is this that they say: ‘What, when we become dust (after death), shall we then be created anew?’ They are the ones who deny their Lord, and they alone will have shackles round their necks. And they are the ones who are the inmates of Hell. They will reside in it forever.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 6[/INST]And they hasten to demand from you punishment before mercy though many torments have passed before them. And, (O Beloved,) your Lord is Most Forgiving to the people despite their (oppression and) injustice. But certainly your Lord is Severe in punishment (as well).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 7[/INST]And the disbelievers say: ‘Why has any Sign not been sent down to this (Messenger) from his Lord?’ (O My Glorious Messenger!) You are only a warner (to the disobedient of their evil consequences) and a provider of guidance to every community (of the world).</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 8[/INST]Allah knows what every female bears in her womb, and how much the wombs contract and how much they distend, and with Him is everything in a fixed measure.</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 11[/INST]For (every) human being there are (angels) coming in succession who, before him and behind him, guard him by the Command of Allah. Verily, Allah does not change the state of a people until they bring about a change in themselves. And when Allah intends to torment a people (due to their own evil works), then none can avert it. Nor is there any helper for them apart from Allah.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 12[/INST]He is the One Who, to rouse in you (sometime) fear and (some other time) hope, shows you lightning and (at times) raises (rain-laden) heavy clouds.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 13[/INST]The thunder (of clouds and lightning or the angel appointed over it) and all angels glorify Him with His Praise out of His fear. And He sends thunderbolts and strikes with them whom He wills. And they (the disbelievers, despite these Signs of His Might,) dispute about Allah. And He is Stern in strategy and Severe in grip.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 14[/INST]Calling towards the Truth (i.e. the Oneness of Allah) is for Him alone. And those (false gods - idols) they (i.e. disbelievers) worship besides Him cannot give them any answer at all. Their example is like the one who (sits) stretching both his palms towards water so that it may reach his mouth (itself), but it (i.e. water) reaches not (like this). And (in like manner) the praying of disbelievers (to idols and their idol-worship) is but wandering distracted.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 15[/INST]And whoever is in the heavens and the earth prostrates himself before Allah, (some) willingly and (others) perforce, and their shadows (too prostrate themselves before Him) morning and evening. (Then why do the disbelievers do idol-worship turning away from Allah?)</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 16[/INST]Say (before these disbelievers): ‘Who is the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth?’ Say (yourself): ‘Allah.’ (Again) ask (them): ‘Have you taken besides Allah (these idols) as your protectors who cannot control any profit or loss even for themselves?’ Say: ‘Can the blind and the seeing be equal? Or can darkness and light be the same? Have they associated such partners with Allah that have also created (some creation) themselves similar to that of Allah, so this creation (created by these idols) has caused them doubt of resemblance (i.e. error of judgment that they too could create as Allah does)?’ Say: ‘Allah alone is the Creator of everything. And He is One. He is Dominant over all.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 17[/INST]He sends down water from the sky and the valleys flow according to their (respective) capacity. Then the floodwater carries the scum raised to the surface. And the items that are heated in the fire for making ornaments or other articles also have foam that comes up the same way. Thus Allah illustrates examples of the Truth and falsehood. So, (whether produced by water or by fire) the foam or scum passes away useless but what is beneficial to the people endures in the earth. That is how Allah illustrates examples.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 18[/INST]For those who accept the Command of their Lord is the excellent outcome. And those who reject His Command, even though they possess all that is in the earth and the like of it added to that, and they atone it (to be delivered from torment, even then) they are the ones whose accountability will be horrible. And Hell is their abode, and that is a wretched abode.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 19[/INST]Someone who knows that whatever has been revealed to you is the Truth, can he be like the one who is blind? Truly it is only those endowed with wisdom who accept admonition,</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 22[/INST]And who remain steadfast in seeking the pleasure of their Lord, and establish Prayer and spend (both) secretly and openly out of the sustenance We have provided and continue eliminating evil by means of good; they are the ones for whom there is a (beautiful) home in the Hereafter.</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 25[/INST]And those who break the promise of Allah after making it firm and strand all (the relations and obligations) that Allah has commanded to be kept unified, and do mischief and strife in the land — upon them is the curse and for them is evil home.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 26[/INST]Allah releases the provision abundantly for whom He pleases and restrains (for whom He wills). And these (disbelievers) are greatly charmed by the worldly life whereas, in contrast with the life in the Hereafter, the worldly life is nothing but a worthless provision.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 27[/INST]And the disbelievers say: ‘Why has any Sign not been sent down to him (the Messenger) from his Lord?’ Say: ‘Verily Allah, (despite Signs,) holds astray whom He wills and leads him towards Himself who turns to Him in repentance.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 28[/INST]Those who believe and their hearts become calm and contented with the remembrance of Allah — know that it is the remembrance of Allah alone that brings calm to the hearts.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 29[/INST]Those who believe and do pious works, for them there are pleasures and rejoicing and excellent abode (in the Hereafter).’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 30[/INST](O Beloved!) Thus We have sent you (as Messenger) to an Umma (Community) before whom in fact (all) the communities have passed. (This is now the last of all the communities) so that you may recite to them that (Book) which We have revealed to you. And they are still denying ar-Rahman (the Most Kind Lord). Say: ‘He is my Lord. There is no God but He. In Him have I put my trust and I turn towards Him alone.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 31[/INST]And if there were a Qur’an by which mountains could be set in motion, or by which the earth could be split open or by which the dead could be spoken to, (even then they would not believe in it). But all matters are under the Control of Allah. Have the believers not yet perceived that if Allah had so willed, He would have guided all mankind? And (some) disaster will continue afflicting the disbelievers due to their misdeeds or will be alighting close to their homes (i.e. towns) until Allah’s promise (of torment) comes to pass. Surely Allah does not go against His promise.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 32[/INST]Indeed the Messengers were mocked (by the disbelievers) before you (as well). So I granted the disbelievers respite and then seized them (with torment). (See) then how My torment was!</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 33[/INST]He (Allah) Who is watching the conduct of every soul and (these idols that the disbelievers) have made peers to Allah — (can they be alike? No way!) Say: ‘(Just) name them. (You fools!) Do you inform Him (Allah) of something whose (existence) He does not know in the whole earth? Or is it all (mere) superficial talk (which has no contact with reality)?’ Rather (the truth is that) the deceptive scheme of the disbelievers has been made fascinating to them and they have been hindered from the (straight) path. And he whom Allah holds strayed, there is none who can be his guide.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 34[/INST]There is for them chastisement in the worldly life (as well), but certainly the torment in the Hereafter is more fierce. And there is none who can rescue them from (the punishment of) Allah.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 35[/INST]A glimpse of the Paradise that has been promised to the Godfearing (depicts that) it has rivers flowing under it. Its fruits are everlasting, and so (also) is its shade. This is (the beauty of) the end of those who adopt Godwariness. And the end of the disbelievers is the Fire of Hell.</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 36[/INST]And those whom We have given the Book (the Torah, if they are true believers, then) they rejoice at this (Qur’an) which has been revealed to you. And also some from among their sects are those who deny a part of it. Say: ‘I have been given only this command that I worship Allah and must not associate (any) partner with Him. I invite towards Him alone, and to Him have I to return.’</s>
<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 37[/INST]And in like manner We have revealed this (Qur’an) as a Commandment in the Arabic language.

<s>[INST]Chapter 13 verse 38[/INST]And, (O Messenger,) indeed We sent before you (many) Messengers and brought up for them wives and children (as well). And that is not the role of a Messenger to bring a Sign but by Allah’s Command. There is an inscription for every appointed term.</s>

<s>[INST]Chapter 14 verse 4[/INST]And We have not sent any Messenger but with the language of his people so that he may make (the message of the Truth) more and more clear to them. Then Allah leads astray whom He wills and provides with guidance whom He wills. And He is Almighty, Most Wise.</s>
