Joseph AS
Yusuf(PBUH)
- They forgot everything around them; O Allah this is not normal
- He's not a human being; He's a gracious Angel [12:31]
- And while they were looking and being stunned
- They were cutting their fingers instead of the fruits
- And now Yusuf AS doesn't have one trouble;
- Not only double trouble but triple trouble
- From one woman chasing him; All those women now are after him
- Now they understood what the wife of Azeez is going through
- So she told them: This is he, the young man;
- About whom did blame me for his love
- And I did seek to seduce him, but he refused
- And now if he refuses tp obey my orders
- He shall certainly be cast into prison
- And he will be one of those who are disgraced [12:32]
- She's still running after him and threatening him
- And the women who saw him
- Now were all encouraging him to obey his master
- Now things are becoming very very difficult
- And painful and distressful on Sayyidina Yusuf
- Seduction is surrounding him from every side
- He said: O Allah take me to jail
- Atleast I will be away from this Fitna; It's better for me
- Subhanallah Yusuf is doing all of this to keep away;
- From one of the most powerful seducing things that could effect a man
- And then he said: Unless you turn away their plot from me;
- I will feel inclined towards them
- And be one of those who commit the sin
- And one of those who are ignorant [12:33]
- So his Lord answered his invocation
- And turned away from him their plot
- Verily He is the All Hearer and the All Knower [12:34]
- Now the news has spread; It's a scandal now
- How can they solve the problem? By taking the innocent to jail
- When he entered the prison; Two others walked in to the prison with him
- Those two men; They were slaves working for the king
- And one night they saw a dream
- One of them he saw; He was squeezing grapes to turn it to wine,
- The other one; He saw in his dream that he was carrying a basket
- Of wheat or bread [On his head] And birds were coming and eating from it
- So when they saw the piety of Yusuf AS
- They said: Because we see that you are of those who are righteous
- We want you to tell us the interpretation of this dream
- And before Yusuf AS interpreted the dream; He called them to Allah
- He said: It's Allah SWT; My Lord the one that taught me this
- It's not coming from me, I am nothing
- I follow the path; The religion of my forefathers
- Ibrahim and Ishaq and Yaqub; They are my forefathers
- They're all Prophets and Messengers [12:38]
- They followed one religion; That religion is called Islam
- O My Friends; For you to worship many gods better
- Or worshipping Allah SWT Almighty The One [12:39]?
- Which one is better? Worship Allah SWT
- And then after he gave them The Dawah and preached to them
- Now I'll tell you what the intrepretation is,
- O two companions of the prison;
- One of you will be very close to the king
- And he will be pouring wine for the king
- This is the one who saw that he's passing wine
- And the other one of you will be taken out of jail and be crucified
- And he will be left on the cross until birds will come and eat from his head
- And that is the one who saw that; He has bread and birds are eating from it
- And then he said: The issue in which you are asking about is judged
- That's it, that's the judgement of Allah; It's Done [12:41]
- And then Sayyidina Yusuf went to the one who he thought;
- Would be saved and would be close to the king
- And Sayyidina Yusuf told him:
- Please remember my name in front of the king [12:42]
- So Yusuf wanted his case to be presented in front of the king
- So the king would look into that case and maybe free him
- There are two intrepretations that are given; One intrepretation is that;
- This man he left jail and he went to work with the king
- But when he got to the palace and got close to the king;
- And all of the luxury of life; He forgot about Yusuf AS
- The other meaning is that Sayyidina Yusuf AS forgot to ask Allah SWT
- And he asked this man to ask the king
- Instead of asking Allah; He asked the king to help him
- Saytan made him forget
- NEXT
