Surah Yusuf 12:6
سُورَةُ يُوسُفَ“Joseph”
Qur'an 12:6
Wa kazaalika yajtabeeka rabbuka wa yu'allimuka min taaweelil ahaadeesi wa yutimmu ni'matahoo 'alaika wa 'alaaa Aali Ya'qooba kamaaa atammahaa 'alaaa abawaika min qablu Ibraaheema wa Ishaaq; inna Rabbaka 'Aleemun hakeem
And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favor upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise."
Tafsir of this Ayah Ibn Kathir
"Thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of dreams (and other things) and perfect His favor on you and on the offspring of Ya'qub, as He perfected it on your fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq aforetime! Verily, your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise. (6)
Interpretation of Yusuf's Vision
Allah says that Ya'qub said to his son Yusuf, 'Just as Allah chose you to see the eleven stars, the sun and the moon prostrate before you in a vision,
وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ
(Thus will your Lord choose you) designate and assign you to be a Prophet from Him,
وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ
(and teach you the interpretation of Ahadith).' Mujahid and several other scholars said that this part of the Ayah is in reference to the interpreting of dreams. He said next,
وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكَ
(and perfect His favor on you), 'by His Message and revelation to you.' This is why Ya'qub said afterwards,
كَمَا أَتَمَّهَا عَلَىٰ أَبَوَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
(as He perfected it aforetime on your fathers, Ibrahim...), Allah's intimate friend,
وَإِسْحَاقَ
(and Ishaq), Ibrahim's son,
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
(Verily, your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise.) Allah knows best whom to chose for His Messages.
