Allah narrated to Muhammad, peace be upon him, the story of Yusuf and his
brothers and how Allah raised him over them, giving him the better end, triumph,
the sovereignty and wisdom (i.e., prophethood), even though they tried to harm
and kill him. Allah said, `This and similar stories are part of the unseen
incidents of the past, O Muhammad,
[نُوحِيهِ
إِلَيْكَ]
(which We reveal to you.) and inform you of, O Muhammad, because it carries a
lesson, for you to draw from and a reminder to those who defy you.' Allah said
next,
[وَمَا كُنتَ
لَدَيْهِمْ]
`(You were not (present) with them), you did not witness their conference nor
saw them,
[إِذْ أَجْمَعُواْ
أَمْرَهُمْ]
(when they arranged their plan together,) to throw Yusuf into the well,
[وَهُمْ
يَمْكُرُونَ]
(and (while) they were plotting) against him. We taught you all this through
Our Revelation which We sent down to you.' Allah said in other Ayat,
[وَمَا كُنتَ
لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ يُلْقُون أَقْلَـمَهُمْ]
(You were not with them, when they cast lots with their pens..) and,
[وَمَا كُنتَ
بِجَانِبِ الْغَرْبِىِّ إِذْ قَضَيْنَآ إِلَى مُوسَى الاٌّمْرَ]
(And you were not on the western side, when We made clear to Musa the
commandment...) [28:44] until,
[وَمَا كُنْتَ
بِجَانِبِ الطُّورِ إِذْ نَادَيْنَا]
(And you were not at the side of the Tur when We did call.)[28:46] Allah also
said,
[وَمَا كُنتَ
ثَاوِياً فِى أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ تَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـتِنَا]
(And you were not a dweller among the people of Madyan, reciting Our verses
to them.) [28:45] Allah states that Muhammad is His Messenger and that He has
taught him the news of what occurred in the past, which carry lessons for people
to draw from, so that they acquire their safety in their religious affairs as
well as their worldly affairs. Yet, most people did not and will not believe, so
Allah said,
[وَمَآ أَكْثَرُ
النَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ]
(And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly.) Allah
said in similar Ayat,
[وَإِن تُطِعْ
أَكْثَرَ مَن فِى الاٌّرْضِ يُضِلُّوكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ]
(And if you obey most of those on the earth, they will mislead you far away
from Allah's path) [6:116], and,
[إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ
لأَيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِينَ ]
(Verily, in this is an Ayah, yet most of them are not believers.) [26:8]
Allah said next,
[وَمَا تَسْأَلُهُمْ
عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ]
(And no reward you ask of them for it;) Allah says, `You, O Muhammad, do not
ask them in return for this advice and your call to all that is good and
righteous, for any price or compensation for delivering it. Rather, you do so
seeking Allah's Face and to deliver good and sincere advice to His creatures,
[إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ
ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَـلَمِينَ ]
(it (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder unto the `Alamin (men and Jinn))
with which they remember, receive guidance and save themselves in this life and
the Hereafter.'
[وَكَأَيِّن مِّن
ءَايَةٍ فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ عَنْهَا
مُعْرِضُونَ - وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ إِلاَّ وَهُمْ مُّشْرِكُونَ -
أَفَأَمِنُواْ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ غَاشِيَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ أَوْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ
السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ ]
(105. And how many a sign in the heavens and the earth they pass by, while
they are averse therefrom.) (106. And most of them believe not in Allah except
that they attribute partners unto Him. ) (107. Do they then feel secure from the
coming against them of the covering veil of the torment of Allah, or of the
coming against them of the (Final) Hour, all of a sudden while they perceive
not)
