And most people will not believe—no matter how keen you are—even though you are not asking them for a reward for this ˹Quran˺.It is only a reminder to the whole world.How many signs in the heavens and the earth do they pass by with indifference !And most of them do not believe in Allah without associating others with Him ˹in worship˺.Do they feel secure that an overwhelming torment from Allah will not overtake them, or that the Hour will not take them by surprise when they least expect ˹it˺?
Yusuf (Arabic: يوسف, Yūsuf; Arabic synonym of “Joseph”) is the 12th chapter (Surah) of the Quran and has 111 Ayahs (verses)

وَمَآ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ‎
‏وَمَا تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَلَمِينَ‎
‏وَكَأَيِّن مِّنْ ءَايَةٍۢ فِى ٱلسَّمَوَتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضُونَ ‎
‏وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِٱللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ ‎
‏أَفَأَمِنُوٓا۟ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ غَشِيَةٌۭ مِّنْ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
The story of Joseph in the Qurʾān is a continuous narrative. There are more than one hundred verses, and in totality they encompass many years and “present an amazing variety of sciences and characters in a tightly-knit plot, and offer a dramatic illustration of some of the fundamental themes of the Qurʾān.
اور بہت سے آدمی گو تم (کتنی ہی) خواہش کرو ایمان لانے والے نہیں ہیں 
اور تم ان سے اس (خیر خواہی) کا کچھ صلا بھی تو نہیں مانگتے۔ 
یہ قرآن اور کچھ نہیں تمام عالم کے لیے نصیحت ہے 
اور آسمان و زمین میں بہت سی نشانیاں ہیں جن پر یہ گزرتے ہیں 
اور ان سے اعراض کرتے ہیں 
اور یہ اکثر خدا پر ایمان نہیں رکھتے۔ 
مگر (اس کے ساتھ) شرک کرتے ہیں 
کیا یہ اس (بات) سے بےخوف ہیں کہ ان پر خدا کا عذاب نازل ہو کر ان کو ڈھانپ لے یا ان پر ناگہاں قیامت آجائے اور انہیں خبر بھی نہ ہو
” The Qurʾān itself relates to the story’s importance in the third verse: “and We narrate unto you aḥsanal-qaṣaṣ (Arabic: أحسن ٱلقصص, “best (or most beautiful) of stories”).
” Most scholars believe this is referring to Joseph’s story, while others, including Ṭabari, argue it is a reference to the Qurʾān as a whole.
It asserts and documents the execution of God’s rulings despite the challenge of human intervention (“And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not”).
This is what the story of Yūsuf confirms categorically, for it ends with comfort and marvels, which is described in the Qurʾān
