وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ
رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن
تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ
وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكَ
وَعَلَىٰٓ ءَالِ يَعْقُوبَ
كَمَآ أَتَمَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَبَوَيْكَ
مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَـٰقَ ۚ إِنَّ
رَبَّكَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
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.”
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,
وَكَذلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ
Thus will your Lord choose you
designate and assign you to be a Prophet from Him,
وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الاٌّحَادِيثِ
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,
كَمَآ أَتَمَّهَآ عَلَى أَبَوَيْكَ
مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَهِيمَ
as He perfected it aforetime on your fathers, Ibrahim…
Allah’s intimate friend,
وَإِسْحَـقَ
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.
