Tafsir Muyassar
Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabiaقالت امرأة العزيز: وما أزكي نفسي ولا أبرئها، إن النفس لكثيرة الأمر لصاحبها بعمل المعاصي طلبا لملذاتها، إلا مَن عصمه الله. إن الله غفور لذنوب مَن تاب مِن عباده، رحيم بهم.

Yusuf 12:53
Word by word۞ وَمَآ أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِىٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌۢ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّىٓ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
And I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."
