The Quran gave stories to us for a very particular purpose: to guide humanity in what they need. Not to entertain humanity. Here Allah is telling us the best of all stories, so that we can relate it to our lives and seek comfort through them

'The best of Stories...'
It is true, very few stories can combine all the diametrically opposing themes this Surah contains, in the harmonizing way that it does.
Think about it, it contains within its storyline:
1. Enviers, and the envied
2. Freedom followed by slavery, followed by freedom again
3. A crime scene with witnesses (Seduction story)
4. An obsessed lover, and the one being pursued
5. A jail sentence, followed by freedom
6. Famine f...See more

When reading Surah Yusuf there were many things that caught my eye, it is hard not to be moved by it’s many lessons and it’s gripping emotions of loss, hope, love and mercy. These emotions remind us of our own struggles and challenges and through this story we see that no human is able to move through life without encountering these emotions.

Connection between Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf.
'WORSHIP' and 'TAWAKKUL'
It was so amazing while reciting Quran, I noticed that ALLAH ended the surah Hud with the ayah of tawakkul and worshipping Him and then in start of the next surah which is surah Yusuf, mentioned it as the 'ahsan ul qasas/best of the stories'.
Because in this surah ALLAH mentioned the utmost tawakkul, patience and endless hope in ALLAH of Hazrat Yaqoob a.s,

This is to chasten the Jews that they had tried to test the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) which proved to be in vain, for its effect turned out to be just the reverse of what they had intended. It only went on to prove the excellence and authenticity of the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) in a far more evident manner. From this, it became clear that he was already an Ummiyy and had no knowledge of world history. Now th...See more
