Well even Malay language translation bring me cried reading about Yusuf. How the father hardly to let Yusuf join the brothers, how the Yusuf so worried and care about his younger brother. How the father knows about their lying and finally meet Yusuf again.. seriously so touching .
Thanks for sharing this video sister. Lesson from the Joseph PBUH story: 1. Brothers planned to kill Joseph PBUH and Allah too planed and Allah is the best planner. 2. It’s good to have dreams, but it’s best to keep them to yourself 3.Allah gives blessing and honor to whom He Wills 4. There’s good in adversity if you persevere 5. Always return good and evil with good 6. Worldly pain is better than eternal punishment 7. If you ask, ask from Allah 8. Never compromise your moral standards 9. In Allah Alone let the believers put their trust. Indeed Allah is with those who have patience. 10. Forgive and show mercy to those who offend you
Sibling rivalry arising out of envy dates back to the two sons of Adam, Habeel and Kabeel. One killed the other due to jealousy. May Allah protect us against this evil. Ameen.
SubhanaAllah, your saying about the jealousy between siblings reminds me about Hadith of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.. in this authentic Hadith ‘one of the companions of the prophet came to him asking about (a gift or something of his property; he gave it to one of his sons but not the others) the prophet asked him “have you done the same with every son of yours ?” He said No. the prophet said: “fear Allah and observe equity in case of your children” Which means don’t prefer one of children over one another in giving and so on .. this could makes jealousy and envying.. it’s a great teaching can solve a lot of cases of envy between siblings, but unfortunately not all people adhere to this teaching
When I read the qur’an prophet Yusuf S.A.W make me cry. All the prophet’s have they own history Allah test them and it is lesson from as how to be living live so we can learn from them
It brings me peace everytime you read the Quran. I am also enjoying you reading "The divine reality" and giving your thoughts on it. I loved the bit were you were talking about your sister and relating it to the story of Joseph. God bless you sister.
Again "Aziz" was most like the Minister or probably prime minister or minister of finiance. In Arabic Aziz means someone with great respect from the origin Iz which means pride or respect. One of Allah's beautiful names in the Quran is Alaziz. Aa mentioned Egypt was ruled by kings not pharohs at that specific time as per the Quran interpertation.
The most beautiful of stories according to the Qur'an. I never get tired reading the Qur'anic version of the story of Joseph. To appreciate the Qur'anic version of the story, kindly read the Biblical version of the story in Genesis 37. Compare both stories and find out their differences. Why is God repeating the story again through the last and final messenger, prophet Muhammad ( pbuh)??. You can't help noticing the differences. It's so obvious that the Biblical version of the story has too many inconsistencies. We thank ALLAH for repeating the story through prophet Muhammad ( pbuh). Your kind response are welcomed.
I felt in tears when hearing this Chapter recitation an hour ago, and never cried with inability to control myself like that ever before. Beautiful story, specially if you know Arabic, and without translation.
It’s interesting to study the differences between the bible story and the quran story. For example, in the bible, Joseph’s mother dies before reaching Egypt and so the dream of 11 planets and the moon and star prostrating to him doesn’t really get fulfilled. In the Quran, however, no such death happens and so the story is consistent.
It’s about more than only jealous, about patient, trusting in Allah, trying not to disobey Allah behind closed doors, other too many lessons. Reciting yusuf surah in Arabic always drive my tears out. I wish there is a translation that make you feel the same. Specifically the term used to express how sad yaqoup was, “ ya asafa “. I invite all people who trying to understand Islam to learn Arabic so they can read the Quran in its language, reciting Quran in Arabic is worth it.
The story of Yusuf (Joseph) is very inspirational. May Allah grant us the wisdom to achieve success in life and the Hereafter. Ameen. Stay blessed sister ❤
The best part of the story is when Joseph told his father about his vision in the beginning, and his vision became true at the end when his 11 brothers (11 planets) and father and mother (Sun and moon) prostrating to him.
It is beautiful to see that everyone reads the same story and can derive such different lessons from the life of a person that lived more than two millennias ago, based on their own personal experience and still hold true. In all this chapter, my most favourite verses are Jacob's (Yaqob AS) prayer and Yusuf's AS prayer at the end. I only complain of my suffering and grief to Allah. (12:86) Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous. (12:101) I used to say that I want to die a muslim (Muslim is the one who submits to The Creator) even though I was born in a Muslim household and my friends would look at me funny because it didn't make any sense to them. The first time I read Yusuf's AS prayer I was blown away. Yusuf AS understood that being born in a muslim household and dying a muslim are two separate things. Despite being the son of a Prophet and hence born in a muslim household, Yusuf AS could have easily despaired from Allah SWT after what he went through his life. That man had the strongest of arguments. Family betrayal, slavery, being tested with sexual desires (possession of beauty beyond imagination and having women literally throwing themselves at him), years in prison for no crime, and then given everything in life and having the power to punish his brothers. And throughout, he remembered Allah SWT, feared Him and thanked Him without resenting his situation when he was at the lowest point in his life. He controlled his desires, forgave his brothers and when in the state of power, he acknowledged that all he had was not his doing but given to him by Allah SWT. How many of people like me, born in a muslim household, do that? In our actions, we are far from a state of submission. We take credit for all the good in our lives and argue and blame Allah SWT for all the bad. There is no humbleness, no humility, no patience and no gratitude. But that is not the muslim way. That is not the way of Yusuf AS. What I understand of what Yusuf AS meant when he said "cause me to die in a state of submission(muslim)". Is that that just because he is a muslim now is no guarantee for the future. But he desires to die in the state of submission. So give him life till he is a muslim and no longer. Because death in submission is better than life without it. And that is, for me, the perfect dua. And then his father's beautiful prayer. "I only complain of my suffering and grief to Allah" Losing a child and worse, knowing his own children are responsible for it, he took Allah SWT as his source of comfort. He was patient and poured his heart out to Allah SWT only. Not to curse at his life, but to share his grief with the One who listens. Both, very very important lessons for Muslims to contemplate on.
@@amnamasood1795 Faith in Allah with certainty(yaqeen) is the main thing to get all those qualities (sifaat) Yusuf (aleyhi salaam) and his father ( Ya'quub(aleyhi salaam) possessed. Allah says;-"We do help our messengers and those who believe in the life of this World and on the day when the witnesses will stand up(Day of resurrection)(Al-Mu'minun:51).I loved it how Yusuf Forgave his brothers and Persevered with his father also who never gave up hope in Allah mercies till Allah delivered him from blindness to his son triumph.Allah says ;-"And nothing exists ,except that we have treasures of it .And we do not send it down except in an appointed measure".Yusuf aleyhi salaam persevered from sin(not to commit with the wife of Aziz) and worship (in Allah alone without partners).They understood who Allah is and what Allah is.Allah says;-"And if all the trees on the earth were pens,and the sea's, with seven more sea's to help it(were made ink),even then the words of Allah (describing his wonders,grandeur and majesty)would NOT be exhausted. Indeed, Allah is Mighty,wise.(Luqmaan:27)
@@amnamasood1795 Thank you for always giving us jewels of knowledge, poor me with my two cent preaching which eventually will bounce back to me(am the one to gain more)Baarakallahu feekum
Hey Milahan, I see u appreciate the fact that prophet eusuf (pbuh) was firm and determind in every challenging situation. ALHAMDULILLAH, yes, he was. And the truth is, Allah Subhanuwata'ala made and help him such steadfast in every circumstances. Without his help nothing one can do and he is the best planner.
Great lesson from Joseph history you give us good reflection example almost every family I know of have this jealous rivalry, I wish they listened this example thank you.
I have read and listened to surah Yusuf so many times and each and every time it makes me cry. There is something special about this story that touches your soul. Allah the most true has indeed declared it the best of the stories and it so true. I wish to meet Prophet Yusuf in Jannah one day and listen to this story in his own words. In sha Allah. Thanks for reading it.
Great video! i would like to say 3 things: 1- the reason jacob asked his sons to enter from different gates is that they were many, big and fit, he feared that they would be harmed by a bad eye. 2- prophet Mohammed (PBUH) would ask his companions every day after fajr prayer if anyone had a dream, this was in there difficult times when they were few and trying to survive, and he said that dreams is the only part that prophets share with normal people, and that this part of prophecy (dreams and their interpretations) will continue until the end of time. 3- when the pharaoh asked to bring joseph to him from jail, joseph refused to get out of jail until its proven that the women were the ones committed the wrong doing, this shows exceptional character and faith in allah, even prophet mohammed praised him for this and said if it was me i would have gone out right away! Peace be opon all of them.
Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts. A fact you should know is that at the time of Joseh pbuh, it was an age of kingship, and latest evidence supports the Quranic narrative.
I think that you are very *smart and intelligent* that you could grasp the summary of the most beautiful story of a prophet mentioned in the holy Quran. May Allah enlighten & guide us all to the straight path, save us from being stray (jealousy, lust, fame) and use us to do good in this world..
I think the reason why the story of Yusuf/Joseph is so popular is because it's written like an epic saga. We have the dream, the betrayal, the selling into slavery, attempted seduction, prison, interpretation of dreams, release, Yusuf at the height of power, forgiveness, reunion and the fulfilling of that dream all those years ago. It's a story that teaches us the value of patience, even at the end Yusuf thanks Allah for everything and acknowledges that Allah will NEVER let your good deeds go to waste. Also there's the lesson on forgiveness and never losing faith in Allah's Soothing Mercy, this is a reminder to all of us. Have you noticed that what Yusuf said to his borothers: "Let there be no reproach on you today, may Allah forgive you for He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy" is what Muhammad pbuh said to the people of Makkah after 22 years of persecution and war against him. God revealed this chapter to him when the Muslims were weak so that they could implement this when they were strong.
Prophet (pbuh) said: "Do not look to those above you, look to those below you, as it will more likely remind you of Allah's favors bestowed on you." (Saheeh-Al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim)
the amazing thing about the language of the Egyptians was lost during the time of the profit moghammad (pbuh) the rosetta stone was discovered in 1977 or so....once the language was resdiscovered the dynasties Of Egypt was discovered as king in the time of yusuf(joseph) and paroeh in the time of moses
Story of Joseph taught us as parents not to have favouritsm among the children ..treat all ur kids the same so that non of the children have the jealous feelings in their heart.. very true jealousy need to b clean from ur innerself. Keep reading .. Quran will teach u how to clean ur innerself.. May Allah bestow u with His Hidayah and Taufiq to believe in 1 God and to summit urself just to Allah and beiieve Muhammad pbuh for all humankind is the prophet and Allah Messanger..
Lessons r many in this chapter of Qur'an but one is for me and all, no matter how hard and hostile situations r, Believer always trust in ALLAH and doesn't get hopeless sure those who get hopeless who don't trust in ALLAH.
Yeah, that’s the most important lesson I think. The timing this Surah (chapter) revealed to prophet Mohamed, was when Muslims were under siege from non Muslims as a kind of punishment for few years, they were deprived from food and basic goods, and the purpose of this Surah no doubt is to teach patience, and hope in Allah Mercy and his ability to do whatever he will.
Absolutely amazing interpretation from part 1 to here! First time here and I am impressed. And on top of that you add a story of your own at the end and I am happy you did cause it's so brave of you!
This story is amazing because it tells us what happened in you god can help you and make you happy From the poor to rich and from prison to free And from alone to be with his family
There is lots of lessons we can learn from this story, but knowing the circumstances when this chapter was revealed to prophet Muhammad, one can say it is learning to always never lose hope in Allah, his mercy and ability to change difficult situations to the best for us. It only needs patience, trust in Allah and righteousness.
From a slave to a big position and power.. From prison to be ruling in few years.. And for Jacob, the most difficult test someone can have -in my opinion- is to lose my child... Jacob lost not only one but two.. And his eyes went white from sadness and grieving... but never lost hope in Allah.. and look at what happened at the end.. Allah United them all.. Also, something that touched me, look how Yusuf was forgiving to his brothers, and how polite he was..
It's been quite a long time since I subscribed to this channel of yours and I'm so happy that I did it. love listening to you, love learning about ur life as a kid and about ur family... my life has been very easy Alhumdulillaah compared to yours... may Allāh SWT bless you with the best of both worlds sis💟
It is a story that shows how patience,wisdom and be connected to Allah would always have a good ending. I believe the biblical story differed from The Quran in many ways. In the Quran Yousuf peace be upon him is piet, pure and always remembering Allah ans reminding others. In the Quran it is more about being wise, patient and remembrance of Allah. Jealosy was described in a nice way as well , as the discussions and atitudes showed. It had pain then hope and happiness followed by pain again then lots and lots of hope and happiness. Concluded by the prayer of Yosuf asking for happiness in the hereafter as an absolute happiness. As you mentioned he was resiliant and showed the best he got when he got the chance and was an active member of the community although all what he faced.
It was narrated that al-Nu‘maan ibn Basheer (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: My father took me to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, bear witness that I have given such and such of my wealth to al-Nu‘maan.” He said: “Did you give to all your children the same as you have given to al-Nu‘maan?” He said: “No.” He said: “Let someone else bear witness to that for you.” Then he said: “Would you not like all your children to honour you equally?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “Then no (I will not bear witness).” Narrated by Muslim (3059).
It's interesting to note that Surah Yusuf is structured in a chiastic pattern. A very simplified diagram looks like this: A Prologue B Joseph Story a Dream b Brothers' trick; well; travel to Egypt c Joseph established in house d Attempts at seduction e Prisoners' dream f (center of surah) Joseph's sermon e' King's dream d' admission of guilt; forgiveness c' Joseph established in land b' Joseph's tricks; drinking cup; travel to Egypt a’ Dream fulfilled A’ Epilogue For a much more detailed explanation, refer to: Structure and Qur'anic Interpretation: A Study of Symmetry and Coherence in Islam's Holy Text by Raymond Farrin There are many examples of this mirrored behavior in the Surah but it would be too detailed for this comment.
Thanks for the reference to that book I will Inshallah try to get hold of it. Also, Nouman Ali Khan has also referred to and expounded upon numerous such examples from the Quran.
It's called ring composition for the mirroring and symetry. I would add that there is another property : it's fractal. That means the ring compostion shows in the stucture of the chapter (Surat), then downgrading in each mirroring part of the ring, then even when downgrading to the middle phrase inside a part of the ring. Try this with the n° 2 chapter of the Cow (Al Bakara), then Ayat Al Korsi (Verses of The Throne) composed of 9 phrases, then with the fifth phrase within the same Verses of The Throne. No way for a human to compose a hole book with such a structure, especially knowing that the revelation of the chapters didn't come in a row, except for the shortest one, but rather assembled aftermath by The Prophet Mohamed himself (PBUH) over the 20 years of revelation.
The Prophet (pbuh) warned against jealousy by comparing it to fire that completely burns the wood. He (pbuh) said: “Beware of jealousy, for verily it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood.” (Abu Dawood
The Prophet ( may Allah exalt his mention ) said: “There are seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade” he mentioned a man who is called by a woman of beauty and position [for illegal intercourse], but be says: 'I fear Allah'; [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Hafs bin 'Asim narrated from Abu Hurairah or Abu Sa'eed that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Seven shall be shaded by Allah under his shade on a day in which there is no shade except His Shade: A just Imam, a young person raised upon worshiping Allah, a man whose heart is attached to the Masjid when he leaves from it until he returns from it, two men who love each other for Allah's sake, coming together upon that, and parting upon that, a man who remembers Allah in privacy and his eyes swell with tears, a man invited by a woman of status and beauty, but he says: 'I fear Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He,' and a man who conceals the charity he gives such that his left hand does not know what his right hand has spent."
Hi sister, there are more than 50 translations of the Quran to English, however, the one knowledgeable scholars recommend is the one translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali
The Lady got mixed up with the leader during the time of Joseph as told in the Quran as "King" and not "Pharoah". Quran use the term "Pharoah" during the time of Moses. This is the miracle of the Quran that is historically correct.
Hi nice story. You should read Yusuf and zulaika by nuruddin Abdul Rahman Jami. It's an elaboration on the Quranic story of prophet Yusuf peace be with him
The jealousy of siblings of Yusuf was because they didnt want him to be the one who will inherit the prophethood from thier father Jacob, he was the youngest, but they didnt realise that prophethood is given by Allah to the most pious one of them...
1 - Aziz's wife did not attack Yusuf, peace be upon him. She rather prepared herself for him ( like she did her make up and dressed beautifully / sexy / temptly ) and closed all the doors .. He ran away trying to escape the closed door and she ran after him trying to catch him and prevent him from leaving .. She hold his shirt from the back while he is running faster and that is how his shirt is torn ^_^ 2 - Despite who can read or interpret the dreams, saying that some dreams come true is fascinating .. It, at the least, shows materialistis and atheists that there is (power) beyond this world that fulfills these kind of dreams (visions) .. Truly even this era, some people dreamed and about things happens in future and it happened .. The prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, said (( The true dream (vision) of the believer is one segment of 46 segments of prophethood ))
Sister , that is one of the reasons why this Josef story is mentioned may be because it is happening over and over all the time between siblings friends and work colleagues
The Quran speaks about the rulers of Egypt in two different names; most of the time they are called pharaoh, but in the story of JOSEF they are referred to as kings. The history of Egypt says that there was a period of time Egypt was captured by Hexos who ruled Egypt for a period of time and the ruler at this period was called a king rather than a pharaoh. So, it is believed that Josef was enslaved in that period of time
To expand on what what I said before. All Egyptian dynasties weren't known as pharaohs some were kings. Then some dynasties were pharaohs. Historians don't always specify the difference and what dynasties were one or the other.
The sons of Jacob PBUH (he is also Israel) were 11 brothers of Joseph PBUH, 10 of them were the sons of the first wife of Jacob PBUH and Benyamin (or Benjamin) and Joseph PBUH were the sons of the other wife and Benjamin and Joseph PBUH were so loved by Jacob PBUH , and this was what made the 9 other brothers jealous.
I am not sure the head ruler at the time was a "Faraoh" if we we take it as a title or a position .. Both the political, religious and the social systems were different from Faraohs'.
Who are the publishers? You are coming across a lot of spelling errors. It's a serious matter particularly if in a translation of the Quran. Such a publication should be withdrawn forthwith, until necessary corrections are made.
There deep meaning was never understood of Joseph PBUH Story , specifically In the Quran , Is why Joseph not given the permission from allah to inform his father that he is still alive , also why Joseph reman in jail for more years , for the first part I can not say ......., for the second part he by mistake request from people exiting the jail to talk to the king to release him!! and he should do so as he has full faith of 'Allah' as a PBUH and he suppose to ask him for help not ask help from people !! and he should surrender his self and fate to 'Allah' all mighty.(submission to 'God' Allah) for good and bad and own faith of him only.
The problems of Joseph peace be upon him is love His father loves him caused him jealousy from his brothers Love of the wife aziz egypt caused him jail for years.
You said their is a reason why these stories are past down to us that's mean you belief that Allah send these all books including Quran to the prophet so that's mean you belief in Quran so the person which belief in Quran is a Muslim by heart so please take another step to accept Islam, (Shia Islam) the true one. I hope Allah will guide you to the straight path if you have that capacity of faith in your heart. If you have question relating to Islam before accepting it then please tell me I will always be there for help. Because Allah love those who help others thanks.
I think the story maybe didn't happen under pharo's regin. or happened under a special subtype of pharo's reigns, Why? 1-In the Quran, God says, Aziz, King, and cheif. 2- The way the King was trying to solve his dream, the way he talks to his councel as if week and seeking help, might indicate that he is viewed as tribal leader kind of a King rather than a Pharo. 3- I'm not well educated on pharo's culture, but I know well tribal culture. And the extremes that Aziz's wife went through to cover her actions (Lust), makes me think Lust and adultuey were view extremely negatively in that culture and that sounds to me a tribal kind of a thing. Just a thought :)
If you want to know more about the prophets of God's stories in Islam and given that you really look up to Mufti Menk here's a link to a playlist of his lectures on them (Peace and blessings be upon the all) czcams.com/play/PL9821CA747E7E0674.html
It's written ma sha Allah. It's written in sha Allah . It's written Allahu akbar. Its written subhana Allah. In islam we aren't allowed to make faces so we shouldn't be using emojis
Milahan, there something called the ring structure discovered by Raymon Farrin, who became. Muslim after studying Arabic and Quran. In this chapter, it has the ring structure 1: Joseph saw a dream 2: His brother plot 3: She attempted seduction 4: his effect on seductress friends (cut their hands) 5 his experience in prison 6 the king's dream 7 the interpretation 8 joseph release 9 The confession fo the seductress friends 10 Joseph Plot 11Josoeph dream is fulfilled What was in section 1? Joseph saw a dream What is the last section? His dream is fulfilled what is the second section: His brother plot what is second from the bottom? Joseph plot (In a good way) to test them what is the third section? she attempted to seduce him what is the third last section the confession of a seductress What is the fourth section? his effect on the ladies who said "he is an angel" what is the fourth from last? the confession of seductress friends what is the fifth section? his experience in prison what is fifth from the bottom? Joseph is released from prison What is the sixth section? The kind dream what is sixth from bottom Joseph told them the dream You tell me if a human being is able to structure such a Story. You can, you can also do with Surah albagra as well That why the Quran is unique in its style and if you know anything about Arabic the Quran is just on another level from any book that is produced in the Arab history
![Reading the Qur'an for the first time - Surah Yusuf ☪ [CC]](/img/n.gif)
The story of Joseph, peace be upon him, makes you cry when you hear it in Arabic.
I just heard it from recitation of sheikh menshawy, and I never fall in tears like that before... half an hour crying and couldn’t stop myself.
Now imagine how an arabic speaker feels while reading it

Thanks for sharing this video sister. Lesson from the Joseph PBUH story:
1. Brothers planned to kill Joseph PBUH and Allah too planed and Allah is the best planner.
2. It’s good to have dreams, but it’s best to keep them to yourself
3.Allah gives blessing and honor to whom He Wills
4. There’s good in adversity if you persevere
5. Always return good and evil with good
6. Worldly pain is better than eternal punishment
7. If you ask, ask from Allah
8. Never compromise your moral standards
9. In Allah Alone let the believers put their trust. Indeed Allah is with those who have patience.
10. Forgive and show mercy to those who offend you
Sibling rivalry arising out of envy dates back to the two sons of Adam, Habeel and Kabeel. One killed the other due to jealousy. May Allah protect us against this evil. Ameen.
That's why Joseph peace be upon him was one of the best prophets.
He had the half of the beauty of all mankind
SubhanaAllah, your saying about the jealousy between siblings reminds me about Hadith of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him..
in this authentic Hadith ‘one of the companions of the prophet came to him asking about (a gift or something of his property; he gave it to one of his sons but not the others) the prophet asked him “have you done the same with every son of yours ?” He said No. the prophet said: “fear Allah and observe equity in case of your children”
Which means don’t prefer one of children over one another in giving and so on ..
this could makes jealousy and envying.. it’s a great teaching can solve a lot of cases of envy between siblings, but unfortunately not all people adhere to this teaching
True fam.
When I read the qur’an prophet Yusuf S.A.W make me cry. All the prophet’s have they own history Allah test them and it is lesson from as how to be living live so we can learn from them

Again "Aziz" was most like the Minister or probably prime minister or minister of finiance.
In Arabic Aziz means someone with great respect from the origin Iz which means pride or respect.
One of Allah's beautiful names in the Quran is Alaziz.

I only complain of my suffering and grief to Allah. (12:86)
Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous.

I used to say that I want to die a muslim (Muslim is the one who submits to The Creator) even though I was born in a Muslim household and my friends would look at me funny because it didn't make any sense to them.

Losing a child and worse, knowing his own children are responsible for it, he took Allah SWT as his source of comfort. He was patient and poured his heart out to Allah SWT only. Not to curse at his life, but to share his grief with the One who listens.
Both, very very important lessons for Muslims to contemplate on.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you derive from this Surah? I'll like to learn fron your experience as well. :)
@@amnamasood1795 Faith in Allah with certainty(yaqeen) is the main thing to get all those qualities (sifaat) Yusuf (aleyhi salaam) and his father ( Ya'quub(aleyhi salaam) possessed. Allah says;-"We do help our messengers and those who believe in the life of this World and on the day when the witnesses will stand up(Day of resurrection)(Al-Mu'minun:51).I loved it how Yusuf Forgave his brothers and Persevered with his father also who never gave up hope in Allah mercies till Allah delivered him from blindness to his son triumph.Allah says ;-"And nothing exists ,except that we have treasures of it .And we do not send it down except in an appointed measure".Yusuf aleyhi salaam persevered from sin(not to commit with the wife of Aziz) and worship (in Allah alone without partners).They understood who Allah is and what Allah is.Allah says;-"And if all the trees on the earth were pens,and the sea's, with seven more sea's to help it(were made ink),even then the words of Allah (describing his wonders,grandeur and majesty)would NOT be exhausted. Indeed, Allah is Mighty,wise.(Luqmaan:27)

Hey Milahan, I see u appreciate the fact that prophet eusuf (pbuh) was firm and determind in every challenging situation. ALHAMDULILLAH, yes, he was. And the truth is, Allah Subhanuwata'ala made and help him such steadfast in every circumstances. Without his help nothing one can do and he is the best planner.
Great lesson from Joseph history you give us good reflection example almost every family I know of have this jealous rivalry, I wish they listened this example thank you.
I love provet yusuf too
Thank you, I enjoyed hearing it from a non-Muslim
I have read and listened to surah Yusuf so many times and each and every time it makes me cry. There is something special about this story that touches your soul. Allah the most true has indeed declared it the best of the stories and it so true. I wish to meet Prophet Yusuf in Jannah one day and listen to this story in his own words. In sha Allah. Thanks for reading it.
M Riaz amen✨
Me its my best story since I was young .. and most muslims like it .. its the best story
Bear in mind that during that narrow time period of Yusuf (Alaihis Salaam's) life there was a King and no Pharaoh.
Great video! i would like to say 3 things:
1- the reason jacob asked his sons to enter from different gates is that they were many, big and fit, he feared that they would be harmed by a bad eye.
2- prophet Mohammed (PBUH) would ask his companions every day after fajr prayer if anyone had a dream, this was in there difficult times when they were few and trying to survive, and he said that dreams is the only part that prophets share with normal people, and that this part of prophecy (dreams and their interpretations) will continue until the end of time.
3- when the pharaoh asked to bring joseph to him from jail, joseph refused to get out of jail until its proven that the women were the ones committed the wrong doing, this shows exceptional character and faith in allah, even prophet mohammed praised him for this and said if it was me i would have gone out right away!
Peace be opon all of them.
Good reading. Lesson learned.
Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts.
A fact you should know is that at the time of Joseh pbuh, it was an age of kingship, and latest evidence supports the Quranic narrative.
I think that you are very *smart and intelligent* that you could grasp the summary of the most beautiful story of a prophet mentioned in the holy Quran.
May Allah enlighten & guide us all to the straight path, save us from being stray (jealousy, lust, fame) and use us to do good in this world..
I think the reason why the story of Yusuf/Joseph is so popular is because it's written like an epic saga. We have the dream, the betrayal, the selling into slavery, attempted seduction, prison, interpretation of dreams, release, Yusuf at the height of power, forgiveness, reunion and the fulfilling of that dream all those years ago.
It's a story that teaches us the value of patience, even at the end Yusuf thanks Allah for everything and acknowledges that Allah will NEVER let your good deeds go to waste. Also there's the lesson on forgiveness and never losing faith in Allah's Soothing Mercy, this is a reminder to all of us.
Have you noticed that what Yusuf said to his borothers: "Let there be no reproach on you today, may Allah forgive you for He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy" is what Muhammad pbuh said to the people of Makkah after 22 years of persecution and war against him. God revealed this chapter to him when the Muslims were weak so that they could implement this when they were strong.
Prophet (pbuh) said:
"Do not look to those above you, look to those below you, as it will more likely remind you of Allah's favors bestowed on you." (Saheeh-Al-Bukharee and Saheeh Muslim)
the amazing thing about the language of the Egyptians was lost during the time of the profit moghammad (pbuh) the rosetta stone was discovered in 1977 or so....once the language was resdiscovered the dynasties Of Egypt was discovered as king in the time of yusuf(joseph) and paroeh in the time of moses
correction.........rosetta stone was discovere in 1799
Prophet = messengers of GOD. Profit is capital gain e.g. banking . I used to make such mistakes some one corrected me.
Story of Joseph taught us as parents not to have favouritsm among the children ..treat all ur kids the same so that non of the children have the jealous feelings in their heart.. very true jealousy need to b clean from ur innerself.
Keep reading .. Quran will teach u how to clean ur innerself..
May Allah bestow u with His Hidayah and Taufiq to believe in 1 God and to summit urself just to Allah and beiieve Muhammad pbuh for all humankind is the prophet and Allah Messanger..
The most beautiful of stories according to God Himself.
Lessons r many in this chapter of Qur'an but one is for me and all, no matter how hard and hostile situations r, Believer always trust in ALLAH and doesn't get hopeless sure those who get hopeless who don't trust in ALLAH.
Yeah, that’s the most important lesson I think.
The timing this Surah (chapter) revealed to prophet Mohamed, was when Muslims were under siege from non Muslims as a kind of punishment for few years, they were deprived from food and basic goods, and the purpose of this Surah no doubt is to teach patience, and hope in Allah Mercy and his ability to do whatever he will.
Soo very good your comments at the end of the videos, and your sincerity in admitting how you can relate to the "jealousy" of joseph's brothers🙏🏼
Absolutely amazing interpretation from part 1 to here! First time here and I am impressed. And on top of that you add a story of your own at the end and I am happy you did cause it's so brave of you!
Thanks for the video always a blessing to watch
The story of joseph is all about patience.
love it
This story is amazing because it tells us what happened in you god can help you and make you happy
From the poor to rich and from prison to free
And from alone to be with his family
There is lots of lessons we can learn from this story, but knowing the circumstances when this chapter was revealed to prophet Muhammad, one can say it is learning to always never lose hope in Allah, his mercy and ability to change difficult situations to the best for us. It only needs patience, trust in Allah and righteousness.
From a slave to a big position and power..
From prison to be ruling in few years..
And for Jacob, the most difficult test someone can have -in my opinion- is to lose my child... Jacob lost not only one but two..
And his eyes went white from sadness and grieving... but never lost hope in Allah.. and look at what happened at the end.. Allah United them all..
Also, something that touched me, look how Yusuf was forgiving to his brothers, and how polite he was..
It's been quite a long time since I subscribed to this channel of yours and I'm so happy that I did it.
love listening to you, love learning about ur life as a kid and about ur family... my life has been very easy Alhumdulillaah compared to yours... may Allāh SWT bless you with the best of both worlds sis💟
i hope you'll be in a state of peace in your mind believing you're doing so well and being loved without having to do anything
in islam joseph was the most hunsome prophet of them all
আমিন
your brother and follower from morocco
I think you are amazing. And best comment on the end.
The king the leaved at that time of prophet yussuf(Joseph) is not pharoah because king pharaoh leaved during the time prophet Moses.
It is a story that shows how patience,wisdom and be connected to Allah would always have a good ending.
I believe the biblical story differed from The Quran in many ways.
In the Quran Yousuf peace be upon him is piet, pure and always remembering Allah ans reminding others.
In the Quran it is more about being wise, patient and remembrance of Allah.
Jealosy was described in a nice way as well , as the discussions and atitudes showed.
It had pain then hope and happiness followed by pain again then lots and lots of hope and happiness.
Concluded by the prayer of Yosuf asking for happiness in the hereafter as an absolute happiness.
As you mentioned he was resiliant and showed the best he got when he got the chance and was an active member of the community although all what he faced.
It was narrated that al-Nu‘maan ibn Basheer (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: My father took me to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, bear witness that I have given such and such of my wealth to al-Nu‘maan.” He said: “Did you give to all your children the same as you have given to al-Nu‘maan?” He said: “No.” He said: “Let someone else bear witness to that for you.” Then he said: “Would you not like all your children to honour you equally?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “Then no (I will not bear witness).”
Narrated by Muslim (3059).
One of the seven that Allah protects with the shade on the day of judgement is a man that is seduced by a woman of beauty and power and says "no"
beautiful book sister. dream iterpretations by bilal phillips
🎉❤🎉❤🎉
It's interesting to note that Surah Yusuf is structured in a chiastic pattern. A very simplified diagram looks like this:
A Prologue
B Joseph Story
a Dream
b Brothers' trick; well; travel to Egypt
c Joseph established in house
d Attempts at seduction
e Prisoners' dream
f (center of surah) Joseph's sermon
e' King's dream
d' admission of guilt; forgiveness
c' Joseph established in land
b' Joseph's tricks; drinking cup; travel to Egypt
a’ Dream fulfilled
A’ Epilogue
For a much more detailed explanation, refer to: Structure and Qur'anic Interpretation: A Study of Symmetry and Coherence in Islam's Holy Text by Raymond Farrin
There are many examples of this mirrored behavior in the Surah but it would be too detailed for this comment.
Thanks for the reference to that book I will Inshallah try to get hold of it. Also, Nouman Ali Khan has also referred to and expounded upon numerous such examples from the Quran.
waferification You’re welcome. The book is very informative.
That's powerful & engaging story telling pattern!
It's called ring composition for the mirroring and symetry. I would add that there is another property : it's fractal. That means the ring compostion shows in the stucture of the chapter (Surat), then downgrading in each mirroring part of the ring, then even when downgrading to the middle phrase inside a part of the ring. Try this with the n° 2 chapter of the Cow (Al Bakara), then Ayat Al Korsi (Verses of The Throne) composed of 9 phrases, then with the fifth phrase within the same Verses of The Throne. No way for a human to compose a hole book with such a structure, especially knowing that the revelation of the chapters didn't come in a row, except for the shortest one, but rather assembled aftermath by The Prophet Mohamed himself (PBUH) over the 20 years of revelation.
The Prophet (pbuh) warned against jealousy by comparing it to fire that completely burns the wood. He (pbuh) said:
“Beware of jealousy, for verily it destroys good deeds the way fire destroys wood.” (Abu Dawood
That’s why Quran call the later of Egypt, a king time of Yousef
Don't worry You still have a time to be a good sister ..
Allah
We all need affirmation no matter how good or bad we were treated. Don't worry about it:)
This brothers of Yusuf who was envious are the fathers of children of Israel.
The Prophet ( may Allah exalt his mention ) said: “There are seven whom Allah will shade in His Shade on the Day when there is no shade except His Shade” he mentioned a man who is called by a woman of beauty and position [for illegal intercourse], but be says: 'I fear Allah'; [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Take the wisdom the story of Joseph.
Hafs bin 'Asim narrated from Abu Hurairah or Abu Sa'eed that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Seven shall be shaded by Allah under his shade on a day in which there is no shade except His Shade: A just Imam, a young person raised upon worshiping Allah, a man whose heart is attached to the Masjid when he leaves from it until he returns from it, two men who love each other for Allah's sake, coming together upon that, and parting upon that, a man who remembers Allah in privacy and his eyes swell with tears, a man invited by a woman of status and beauty, but he says: 'I fear Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He,' and a man who conceals the charity he gives such that his left hand does not know what his right hand has spent."
At the time of Joseph Egypt had kings not -hero’s and this shows the accuracy of the Quran .
Yousuf (Joseph) PBUH
The key success of Joseph throughout his afflictions’ journey is mentioned in two words by Joseph himself in one of the verses. Try guess them.
joseph was a prophet
Hi sister, there are more than 50 translations of the Quran to English, however, the one knowledgeable scholars recommend is the one translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali
The Lady got mixed up with the leader during the time of Joseph as told in the Quran as "King" and not "Pharoah". Quran use the term "Pharoah" during the time of Moses. This is the miracle of the Quran that is historically correct.
Hi nice story. You should read Yusuf and zulaika by nuruddin Abdul Rahman Jami. It's an elaboration on the Quranic story of prophet Yusuf peace be with him
The jealousy of siblings of Yusuf was because they didnt want him to be the one who will inherit the prophethood from thier father Jacob, he was the youngest, but they didnt realise that prophethood is given by Allah to the most pious one of them...
1 - Aziz's wife did not attack Yusuf, peace be upon him. She rather prepared herself for him ( like she did her make up and dressed beautifully / sexy / temptly ) and closed all the doors .. He ran away trying to escape the closed door and she ran after him trying to catch him and prevent him from leaving .. She hold his shirt from the back while he is running faster and that is how his shirt is torn ^_^
2 - Despite who can read or interpret the dreams, saying that some dreams come true is fascinating .. It, at the least, shows materialistis and atheists that there is (power) beyond this world that fulfills these kind of dreams (visions) .. Truly even this era, some people dreamed and about things happens in future and it happened ..
The prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, said (( The true dream (vision) of the believer is one segment of 46 segments of prophethood ))
Sister , that is one of the reasons why this Josef story is mentioned may be because it is happening over and over all the time between siblings friends and work colleagues

There are 15 main differences between the story of Joseph in Quran and in the Old Testament. Try find them out and ponder over.
Dats way Allah Colliet 1 of bast story
At that time, the ruler of Egypt was not called Pharaoh, but was called a king.
The Quran speaks about the rulers of Egypt in two different names; most of the time they are called pharaoh, but in the story of JOSEF they are referred to as kings. The history of Egypt says that there was a period of time Egypt was captured by Hexos who ruled Egypt for a period of time and the ruler at this period was called a king rather than a pharaoh. So, it is believed that Josef was enslaved in that period of time
To expand on what what I said before. All Egyptian dynasties weren't known as pharaohs some were kings. Then some dynasties were pharaohs. Historians don't always specify the difference and what dynasties were one or the other.
joseph in middleeast is called yousef
The sons of Jacob PBUH (he is also Israel) were 11 brothers of Joseph PBUH, 10 of them were the sons of the first wife of Jacob PBUH and Benyamin (or Benjamin) and Joseph PBUH were the sons of the other wife and Benjamin and Joseph PBUH were so loved by Jacob PBUH , and this was what made the 9 other brothers jealous.
I am not sure the head ruler at the time was a "Faraoh" if we we take it as a title or a position .. Both the political, religious and the social systems were different from Faraohs'.
Who are the publishers? You are coming across a lot of spelling errors. It's a serious matter particularly if in a translation of the Quran. Such a publication should be withdrawn forthwith, until necessary corrections are made.
You must watch prophet Joseph (A.S)serious.
5:40
There deep meaning was never understood of Joseph PBUH Story , specifically In the Quran , Is why Joseph not given the permission from allah to inform his father that he is still alive , also why Joseph reman in jail for more years , for the first part I can not say ......., for the second part he by mistake request from people exiting the jail to talk to the king to release him!! and he should do so as he has full faith of 'Allah' as a PBUH and he suppose to ask him for help not ask help from people !! and he should surrender his self and fate to 'Allah' all mighty.(submission to 'God' Allah) for good and bad and own faith of him only.
there is no human male alive today can be compared to joshef
The problems of Joseph peace be upon him is love
His father loves him caused him jealousy from his brothers
Love of the wife aziz egypt caused him jail for years.
You said their is a reason why these stories are past down to us that's mean you belief that Allah send these all books including Quran to the prophet so that's mean you belief in Quran so the person which belief in Quran is a Muslim by heart so please take another step to accept Islam, (Shia Islam) the true one. I hope Allah will guide you to the straight path if you have that capacity of faith in your heart. If you have question relating to Islam before accepting it then please tell me I will always be there for help. Because Allah love those who help others thanks.
First
Sibling rivalry is nothing new, It first started with the children of Adam and eve remember...
Milahan PhilosophersCorner please watch debate quran and bible in light of science between dr zakir naik and dr william campell
I think the story maybe didn't happen under pharo's regin. or happened under a special subtype of pharo's reigns, Why?
1-In the Quran, God says, Aziz, King, and cheif.
2- The way the King was trying to solve his dream, the way he talks to his councel as if week and seeking help, might indicate that he is viewed as tribal leader kind of a King rather than a Pharo.
3- I'm not well educated on pharo's culture, but I know well tribal culture. And the extremes that Aziz's wife went through to cover her actions (Lust), makes me think Lust and adultuey were view extremely negatively in that culture and that sounds to me a tribal kind of a thing.
Just a thought :)
If you want to know more about the prophets of God's stories in Islam and given that you really look up to Mufti Menk here's a link to a playlist of his lectures on them (Peace and blessings be upon the all) czcams.com/play/PL9821CA747E7E0674.html
It's written ma sha Allah. It's written in sha Allah . It's written Allahu akbar. Its written subhana Allah. In islam we aren't allowed to make faces so we shouldn't be using emojis
The Chief and the King are two different people. The Chief refers to Potiphar _ALAZIZ_ . The King is the King of Egypt Pharaoh.
Milahan, there something called the ring structure discovered by Raymon Farrin, who became. Muslim after studying Arabic and Quran.
In this chapter, it has the ring structure
1: Joseph saw a dream
2: His brother plot
3: She attempted seduction
4: his effect on seductress friends (cut their hands)
5 his experience in prison
6 the king's dream
7 the interpretation
8 joseph release
9 The confession fo the seductress friends
10 Joseph Plot
11Josoeph dream is fulfilled
What was in section 1?
Joseph saw a dream
What is the last section?
His dream is fulfilled
what is the second section:
His brother plot
what is second from the bottom?
Joseph plot (In a good way) to test them
what is the third section?
she attempted to seduce him
what is the third last section
the confession of a seductress
What is the fourth section?
his effect on the ladies who said "he is an angel"
what is the fourth from last?
the confession of seductress friends
what is the fifth section?
his experience in prison
what is fifth from the bottom?
Joseph is released from prison
What is the sixth section?
The kind dream
what is sixth from bottom
Joseph told them the dream
You tell me if a human being is able to structure such a Story.
You can, you can also do with Surah albagra as well
That why the Quran is unique in its style and if you know anything about Arabic the Quran is just on another level from any book that is produced in the Arab history
Sister to Quran. Says Aziz was the king of Egypt! not pharaoh that time. Thank you
