Surat Yusuf (110-111)

{حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّواْ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُواْ جَاءهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّيَ مَن نَّشَاء وَلاَ يُرَدُّ بَأْسُنَا عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ} (يوسف : 110)

110- When the Messengers despaired from the response of the criminal disbelievers, only few believers had followed their call, and observed patience for the belying and mockery of disbelievers after they had suffered many troubles and waited long for the promise of Allah with victory as if they see it soon to the extent that their souls belied them when they deemed they are victorious; then Our Victory came to them.

Or the meaning is: The Messengers were belied by their people until the Messengers were sure that they will not believe, then Our victory came suddenly, leaving the disbelievers in destruction and rescued the Messengers and their followers therefrom; and no one can protect them from the torment.

{لَقَدْ كَانَ فِي قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِّأُوْلِي الأَلْبَابِ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثاً يُفْتَرَى وَلَـكِن تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ} (يوسف : 111)

111- The news of Prophets with their nations including the story of Yusuf with his brothers and parents then his imprisonment are lessons and an admonition for the people of reason and the heedful.

This Glorious Qur'an, which included the stories of Prophets and others, was not weird speech or a local narration that is narrated to amuse people. Indeed, lying does not achieve guidance or bring about comfort to people, but it is a book to guide people to their needs such as the acts of worship, life style, rearing and manners. It is a guide from error and falsehood and mercy from the Lord to His Servants by which they gain the goodness of the world and the Hereafter. These guidance and mercy are for those who believe in the book of Allah, embrace Islam with all its instructions, and follow guidance.
