🔪 'She gave each one a knife...'
These are interesting verses to reflect on if you struggle with your phone and looking away from things that can harm your soul.
These women inadvertently harmed themselves when they were stunned by the beauty of Yusuf (a). I imagine they must have been shocked when they realized they had cut their own hands! They were set up with knives and something to catch them off guard, and they ended up harming themselv...See more

I want to reflect on these ayaat explaining an incident in the story of Yusuf alayhis salam, when wife of al-Azeez became talk of the town. It's mentioned in the Quran as,
'Some women of the city gossiped, 'The Chief Minister’s wife is trying to seduce her slave-boy. Love for him has plagued her heart. Indeed, we see that she is clearly mistaken'.

Aways remember, when you spend your time looking for faults in others and highlighting them, Allah saw can cause you to fall in bigger faults due to your arrogance. The woman mocked the Aziz's wife for her attempt to seduce Yousef As, but they ended up cutting their hands accidentally while admiring his beauty, and then proceeding to attempt to seduce him as well. And when Yousef AS, years later, mentioned the story to the messenger of the King,...See more

An Islamic wisdom tells us 'No one experiencing sadness will read Surat Yusuf except that they will find relief'. So why Surat Yusuf ?
Amidst all the trials, heartbreak, lies and struggles, Prophet Yusuf continuously and consistently is described as from the 'muhsineen' (those who embody moral excellence).
His brothers throwing him into a well, his separation from his father for decades, his selling into slavery and his persecution in prison f...See more

İn this captivating narrative, one constant element stands out – the 'qamis' (shirt). Notice how the story revolves around it, ultimately returning to this symbolic garment. Some commentators have aptly titled this surah 'Qassas al-Qamis' (The Story of the Shirt). While much has been said about this tale, I'd like to highlight an aspect that resonates with me.

Surat Yusuf:
This chapter reminds us that hardship come first and it is described through problems that Yusuf had from a young age. He was betrayed by his brother and separated from his dad, dumped in a well and found by slave-merchants, sold as a slave, and he was accused of adultery king's wife.
With all of this hardship one should remember that Yusuf was given a many blessings including physical beauty and special ability to translate dream...See more

When the Past Haunts You….
Yusuf (AS) had a past too.
He was betrayed. Sold. Imprisoned. Forgotten.
But he didn’t let it poison his heart.
Sometimes, we relive things over and over…
Regrets. Loss. 'If only…'
And those 'what ifs' become chains.
But Surah Yusuf shows us that Allah can rewrite the meaning of every wound.
Your pain isn’t pointless.
Even the memories that hurt—
He can use them to raise you, cleanse you, strengthen you.
