Yusuf(PBUH)
- They don't know who this child will grow up to be
- And if they would have sold him with his weight in gold
- That would have been a cheap price
- And who did they sell it to? The one that bought him
- His name was the Azeez; He was the treasurer of Egypt
- That treasurer; He was an impotent so he did not have kids
- So when he found this young beautiful child; He bought him
- He went back to his wife and he said: Let him grow up within us
- Maybe we'll benefit out of him as a slave or use him as a son
- And this is how we established Yusuf
- And the Azeez loved Yusuf so much;
- That he treated him more than a son
- He start even to pass on some work to him
- Some responsibility; Some authority until the big test came to Yusuf
- Yusuf grew up in the house of Al-Azeez
- And when he Yusuf, attained his full manhood
- We gave him wisdom and knowledge
- Thus we reward the doers of the good [12:22]
- The wife of Al-Azeez presented herself to Sayyidina Yusuf
- And she in whose house he was; Sought to seduce him
- And she closed the doors and she said: Come on you
- She tried to sleep with him by force
- He said: I seek refuge in Allah; Truly your husband is my master and he made my stay agreeable
- I will never betray him because the wrong doers;
- Will never be successful [12:23]; Subhanallah,
- And Yusuf AS is running away from her
- And while he's running away from her
- She is chasing him and she grabbed his shirt from his back
- And Yusuf AS is running away from her,
- So she ripped his shirt from the back
- And while this is taking place; Who walks in? Her husband
- She got caught; Straightaway she twisted the story
- She said: What is the recompense for him;
- Who intended an evil design against your wife?
- She said: Put him in jail or punish him [12:25]
- But she did not suggest killing him,
- Yusuf said: It is she that sought to seduce me,
- Allah SWT in that moment sent one of their relatives,
- So he came, and he said: I will tell you how we can tell the truth;
- If the shirt of Yusuf is torn from the front;
- Than she is telling the truth [12:26]
- If the shirt of Yusuf is torn from the back than she is lying [12:27]
- Because if the shirt is torn from the front
- It means that Yusuf was attacking her
- And she was fighting him so his shirt was torn
- If the shirt is torn from the back;
- It means that she was running after him trying to grab him
- So it's a very wise suggestion
- His shirt was torn from the back so she was lying
- So when he saw his shirt torn from the back he said:
- Surely it is a plot of you woman; Certainly mighty is your plot [12:28]
- And then the husband told Yusuf: Turn away from this;
- Meaning ignore it, don't speak about it as if nothing happened
- They don't want a scandal, it will be a political scandal for them
- And then he told his wife: Ask forgiveness for your sin;
- Verily you were of the sinful [12:29]
- But the high class society; They have a lot of spare time
- And the woman get together and they gossip
- They were talking about the action of the treasurer's wife
- They're saying: What kind of a woman is she; she goes out of all men
- She goes and chases her own slave, she is crazy [12:30]
- So the treasurer's wife, when she heard of that
- She wanted to show them that what she did was out of her nature
- Because this man Yusuf AS: He is extremelt too good looking person,
- And she invited those women over
- She prepared a nice session; All of them sitting down and she got fruits
- And she got them knives to peel the fruits,
- And while they're sitting down speaking
- She got Yusuf to wear his best of clothes and Yusuf AS doesn't know;
- The plotting and the planning that she is planning
- And while they are sitting down; Laughing; Smiling; Eating the fruits
- She'll call and order Yusuf to come
- So the door opens and Yusuf walks in
- They stop and look at Yusuf
- NEXT
