Not every time you speak will your voice be heard, and not every word will yield the change you seek. But one truth remains absolute: every word is recorded for a destiny beyond our sight. This is exemplified in the story of Yusuf (aleyhisselam). A man offered his testimony—a man of whom we know nothing else. Though his words did not prevent Yusuf's (Aleyhisselam) prolonged imprisonment, they transcended that temporal failure. They traveled throu...See more

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).

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.

Throughout Prophet Yusuf's (Aleyhisalam) life, the qamis itself, though falsely tainte...See more

The story of Yusuf (A.S.) and the events that Musa (A.S.) and Khidr (A.S.) encountered are my greatest means of finding solace through life's trials. Wa lillāhil Hamd. The story of Yusuf (A.S.) in particular, is one that I find myself reflecting back to over and over as I Journey, finding inspiration from various parts based on the particular circumstance or season of my life.

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.

'Indeed, he...See more

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
'How beautiful is Surah Yusuf, it begins with a distant dream and ends with the dream becoming a reality'.

Quran tells us how Prophet Yusuf (AS) suffered a series of tests and trials, yet he remained obedie...See more

If we look at story of Yousaf(A.S) psychologically, Yousaf(A.S) had to go through the worst of Trauma i.e Childhood Trauma. Imagine a 7-8 years old child being thrown in the middle of a well by his own brothers because of something he wasn’t even responsible yet he remained firm and didn’t lose hope in the mercy of Allah(S.W.T) because he knew that Allah has chosen him for a bigger purpose and Allah(S.W.T) would never let him down.
