With the help of divine sanction, belssing and support Ashraf Arif has deftly rendered the story of Hazrat Yousa (A.S) as presented by Holy Qurant into English verse. The translation is accurate and true to the Arabic text. He has indexed the whole surah into following topics;

Dream of Yousaf

Jealousy of his brothers
Yousaf is thrown into well
He is sold in Egypt
Tmeptation by wife of Aziz
Yousaf's Pity
Women cut their hands
Yousaf is imprisoned
Dreams of two captives
Sermon by Yousaf
Interpretaion of the dreams
Dream of the king
Interpretaion of his dream
Yousaf'f release
Yousaf as as ruler
First visit of his brothers
Second visit of his brothers
Binyamin in detained
Third visit of his brohters
Yousaf disclosed himself
Jacob (Yaqoob) regains eyesight
Settlement of children of Israeel
Yousaf's dreams come true
Sermons

I would suggest every one to read the aptly laid out book and see what Quran is teaching us with the help of telling stories of his beloved messengers.
