When I read this ayah (12:25), I imagine two people running towards a door. Isn't it interesting that in the same room, one person is running towards sin and another person is running away from it? One is striving to keep the door of escape closed, another is striving to open that door and escape.
This ayah also makes me think about how the shaytan and the nafs are always running after us. Yusuf's (a) example teaches us that we must run away f...See more

And they both raced to the door.. (12:25)
At first glance, this may seem like a mere physical action, yet the intentions behind it could not have been more different. Yusuf (alai) sprinted toward the door in a desperate attempt to escape sin. Meanwhile, the wife of Al-Aziz pursued the very same door, but her chase was driven by desire and deception.
This stark contrast serves as a profound reminder: while outward actions m...See more

Two keys can turn in the same lock; one to open, one to jam it shut.
But from the outside, the motion is identical.
This verse gestures towards something similar and it gave me a lesson that I usually would miss. It places the Prophet and the sinner in the same verb.

We often become so focused on our problems that we fail to envision the solution. But Allah, the best of planners, Al Hakeem (the wise) and Al-Qadir (the All-Powerful), is in control. Everything we plan, either succeed or failed is according to His will, and He knows both our successes and our failures. Even after countless efforts, when we feel trapped in the depths of our problems, like sinking deeper into quicksand, we must remember that the p...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).

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.
