(12:6) 'And that is how your Nurturing Master is selecting you, and He is teaching you some of the meanings behind all kinds of speech. He is going to complete His blessings over you and the Family of Jacob, just as He did for your fathers before you: Abraham and Isaac. Your Master truly is All-Knowing and Wise.' ﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ NOTES: This is the continuation of Jacob's counsel to his son (peace be on them). We paid particular attention to the tenses in the ayah. Although dreams and their interpretation feature in this story with various terms, for the phrase /taʾwīl al-aḥādīth/ we preferred the broader explanations provided by the exegetes, since Joseph is going to encounter 'all kinds of speech' and events. REQUEST: this translation is being shared here as a draft to receive feedback from the general public. Please share any suggestions for improvement, but ensure that they are evidence-based and not simply reproducing familiar expressions from other translations.
