Have you ever gotten a call or text from someone out of nowhere after a long absence? Perhaps you had been waiting around for this person for a while. And when they finally get in touch, you realize it's because they need something from you.

An amazing similarity. In the story of Adam, after asking the angels to name the things that he taught Adam, they admitting to not knowing. So upon Adam proving his superiority in knowledge, Allah asked the angels to prostrate to him. Also in the story of Yousef, after the king asked the interpreters to explain his dream, they were unable to do so, so once Yousef was able to do so after their inability, it resulted in his elevation in status as i...See more

Look at the honor old Yousef! he didnt use his knowledge as a bargaining tool and explained the dream, and offered a solution, without asking for anything in return. the only time he made the request for a fair hearing was when the king asked for him to be released , and as a condition for his release, but not a condition for teaching them the interpretation of the dream.

Though Prophets have the most Tawakul (reliance) in Allah, they are also amongst the most proactive. Yousef suggested storing most of the harvest from the good years for the bad years to come and this doesn't indicate a lack of Tawakul at all. In fact, it points to true Tawakul that is accompanied with proper planning and execution to the best of ones abilities. The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) would wear armor to battle, hire guides in his journeys,...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

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

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.

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.
