Surah Yusuf

Surah Yusuf (Arabic: يوسف‎) is the 12th sura (chapter) of the Quran

Sūrat Yūsuf (Arabic: يوسف‎) is the 12th sura (chapter) of the Quran[1]. It is said to have been revealed in a single sitting, being unique in this respect.[2] The text narrates the story of Yusuf (the biblical Joseph). While other surahs tend to jump between topics, this sura is special in sticking to its central theme throughout, telling a coherent story in chronological order.[3]

The chapter was first translated into Latin by Thomas van Erpe in 1617 and later in the 17th century published synoptically in Arabic and Latin as part of the Lutheran efforts at translating the Qur'an.[4]
