There is so much we won't ever know about the great Allah. Here Yusuf prayed to his lord to get rid of the indecent acts of women around him and make him firm on the right path. Allah answered his dua by making him stay in jail for several years. In this way, he was protected from filth and wrongdoings of the women. SubhanAllah was imprisoned to get protection, and it was the answer to his dua. He was patient and satisfied with what Allah decreed...
Subhan Allah... prophet Yusuf PBUH is the pure example of chastity العفّة .. he prefers prison to falling for desire, and he called upon Allah swt to protect him, admitting he is weak in front of this temptation... how many of us can do the same ?
النبي يوسف عليه السلام مثال للعفة .. فضّل الشجن على ما يدعونه اليهن ولجأ إلى الله منه واعترف بضعف نفسه أمام هذا الأمر ... فالسجن افضل من رضوخ النفس للفاحشة .. فكم منا له ان يفعل هذا؟

We tend to think of Du'a only in terms of us pinpointing a specific want and asking Allah SWT for it. However, studying the following examples show us that, at certain times, simply describing your distressed state to Allah SWT in the most humble terms is enough to elicit a quick answer from Him.
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,...
