Prophet Yusuf’s (Joseph) story is a moving journey of loss, love, and legacy. From the loss of his family’s love and the comfort of his home when his brothers cast him into the well, to the loss of freedom as he was sold into slavery, and then unjustly imprisoned for years for a crime he did not commit — his story in the Quran is an example of patience, ihsan, and Divine Love.
Prophet Yousuf AS (Joseph) didn’t let his past define him.
Despite the trauma of being betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and wrongly imprisoned, he rose with confidence when the moment of opportunity arrived. When he stood before the king, he said that he could manage the food reserves, during times of abundance and drought. You would think those years in a dungeon would have stripped him of any confidence, but they didn’t.
