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

In surah Yusuf [12], Allah informs us about the brothers of Yusuf who said:

The worst of Sin is to start justifying your sins in order to satisfy yourself. It’s actually fooling your oneself because you can never fool Allah with those silly justifications. In the story of Yusuf, when the brothers discuss how to get rid of Yusuf. They don’t mention their hatred of him as their motive, They started blaming Yaqoob(A.S) for their envy, justifying their crime against Yusuf.

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).

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.
