Joseph AS
Yusuf(PBUH)
- Yaqub AS had twelve children; two from one wife
- Those two are the young ones
- The youngest one is Binyamin and his older brother Yusuf,
- Yaqub used to favour Binyamin and Yusuf over the rest
- The other ten had their eyes always open on their brother
- Yusuf and Binyamin, and they did not like how their father always favours;
- Yusuf and Binyamin over the rest
- Yusuf was very young at the time, he was a child
- He saw this dream; Eleven planets and the sun and the moon
- Are making Sujud; Prostration to him [12:04]
- So he told his father about this dream
- He said: Don't tell your brothers about this vision
- Why? Lest they arrange a plot against you; It is from Satan; [12:05]
- And then he told his son: Allah will choose you
- And teach you the interpretation of dreams [12:06]
- The ten brothers got together and realised;
- Ten of us; we're all young; we are all mature
- We are all strong; Ten of us make a strong gang; A strong group;
- And our father favours Yusuf over ten of us
- Na; Our father is in great astray [12:08]
- So one of them said: They might as well let solve it
- What's the solution? Kill him
- Or just get rid of him; Bash him until he dies
- After we do such a crime, we could repent to Allah [12:09]
- The older brother; Lenient one out of them
- He said: Better than killing him, let's throw him in a deep well
- And one of those travelers, they'll find him
- And they'll take him with them [12:10]
- In this way you got rid of him, and at the same time you did not kill him
- So they accepted that, and before that they thought;
- How are we going to convince our father
- Let's go to our father with a good intention
- Yaqub was so protective over his son;
- He would not let him go out and play with them
- They said: O our father, why do you not trust us with Yusuf,
- When we are indeed his well wishers [12:11]
- Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play
- Verily we will take care of him [12:12]
- He said: Truly it saddens me that you should take him away from me
- And then he said: I fear less a wolf should devour him
- While you are careless of him [12:13]
- So they picked up this from their father and then they used it
- They took out Yusuf with him to go out and play
- They threw him in a well
- When they were throwing him in the well;
- Allah SWT revealed to Yusuf
- Indeed you shall one day inform them of this affair; While they know you not [12:15]
- And then they took his clothes and they slaughtered a small goat
- And they poured the blood of that goat on his clothes
- And then they went back to their father crying [12:16]
- Saying: O dad; You know what happened?
- And their father's so upset and he's looking for Yusuf; Where's Yusuf?
- They said: O father; We went out playing; Have fun as we told you
- And wanted to have fun with Yusuf and let him play
- And while we were competing with each other;
- And occupied with the competition; We came back
- And we saw Yusuf dead, eaten by a wolf
- O Father believe us; We're not lying
- You don't beliebve us even if we are truthful [12:17]
- And they came with the shirt of Yusuf AS full of blood
- And Allah says: False and fake blood; Deceiving their own father
- That the whole shirt was not even ripped
- Then Yaqub said: Subhanallah; How merciful this wolf is
- He ate my son, and left his shirt
- It's your own desires that deceived you; [A beautiful patience] [12:18]
- Yusuf was in the well, a caravan of travellers passed by
- They sent somebody to go and get water for them
- So he inserted the bucket in the well and Yusuf cling to the bucket
- And this man is pulling up the bucket looking forward to get some water
- And he finds in there a child; He was so happy
- Why? Because in those times slaves would get you a lot of money
- So they picked him up, took him with them in their caravan
- And they went to Egypt, and they sold him in Egypt
- They sold him for a good price but Allah SWT says:
- And they sold him for a low price [12:20]; Why?
- They don't know who is the one they sold
- NEXT
