Joseph

يُوسُف

Joseph (Yusuf in Arabic) is a cherished prophet in Islam, renowned for his extraordinary life story, which is recounted in meticulous detail in the Quran's Surah Yusuf, a chapter beloved for its narrative beauty and profound lessons. He was the beloved son of Prophet Jacob (Ya'qub) and a descendant of Prophets Abraham and Isaac. Joseph's journey began with a remarkable dream, where [he saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon prostrating to him], a vision that foreshadowed his future prominence. However, this divine favor sparked jealousy among his older brothers, who felt that [Joseph and his brother were more beloved to their father than they]. Their envy led to a series of severe trials for Joseph, including betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment. Yet, through every tribulation, Joseph remained steadfast in his faith, showcasing unwavering patience and trust in Allah. His ability to interpret dreams, a gift from God, eventually elevated him to a position of great power in Egypt, where [Allah completed His favor upon him and his family]. Joseph's story is a powerful testament to divine wisdom, the eventual triumph of justice, and the transformative power of forgiveness, making him an enduring symbol of resilience and prophetic guidance for all believers.

Joseph (Yusuf in Arabic), a prophet revered in Islam, embodies a profound narrative woven through divine revelation, prophetic guidance, and enduring lessons for humanity. His story, uniquely detailed in the Quran's Surah Yusuf, transcends a mere historical account, serving as a comprehensive tapestry of faith, resilience, and the intricate unfolding of God's wisdom. From a childhood vision to a position of immense power, Joseph's life illustrates Allah's meticulous planning and unwavering support for His chosen servants.

The Foundations of Prophethood and Divine Knowledge

Joseph's prophetic journey begins with a profound dream, where . This parental foresight underscores the recognition of Joseph's nascent spiritual elevation.

The Quran explains that this dream was a premonition of divine favor, as Allah intended to . Tafsir scholars like Mujahid and As-Suddi agree that "interpretation of narratives" specifically refers to the interpretation of dreams. Ma'arif-ul-Quran further elaborates that this expertise is a divine gift, bestowed upon a chosen few, not merely an acquired skill. This early revelation to Joseph, even in his youth, serves as a form of divine inspiration, akin to the revelation received by the mother of Prophet Moses or Mary, as explained by Tafsir Mazhari. While formal prophethood (Nubuwwah) is typically conferred at a later age (e.g., 40, according to some commentators for Joseph, as in ), these early inspirations highlight his unique status from a young age. This establishes Joseph as not only a recipient of divine dreams but also a master interpreter, a unique gift that would later shape his destiny.

Trials of Envy and the Unfolding of Divine Will

Joseph's prophetic gifts, however, became a source of intense jealousy among his elder brothers. They openly declared, . Tafsir al-Jalalayn clarifies that "error" here refers to their father's perceived favoritism, not a religious transgression, as Jacob was a prophet. Driven by this envy, the brothers plotted heinous acts, suggesting to land; the countenance of your father will then be only for you]. The intention to commit such severe sins, including murder and filial disobedience, led scholars like al-Qurtubi and Tafsir Mazhari to assert that Joseph's brothers were not prophets, a view supported by their later repentance and Jacob's prayer for their forgiveness.

A key moment in this betrayal was the suggestion by one of the brothers (identified by some as Reuben or Judah, as per Ibn Kathir) to . This alternative, though still cruel, spared Joseph's life. As they carried out their plan, Allah revealed to Joseph, about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive ]. This divine assurance, delivered in a moment of extreme vulnerability, served to strengthen Joseph's heart and signify Allah's continuous protection and overarching plan. Ibn Kathir notes that this revelation was meant to comfort him and assure him of a good end, demonstrating Allah's mercy and compassion in times of distress. The subsequent sale of Joseph for , reflects his brothers' profound indifference, driven by their desire to remove him from their father's affection rather than seek significant financial gain, as explained by Ma'arif-ul-Quran.

Chastity, Imprisonment, and Steadfastness

Joseph's journey to Egypt as a slave, ironically, became the path to his destined eminence. The one who bought him, the 'Aziz of Egypt, instructed his wife to . This act of kindness, recognized by Ibn Kathir as a sign of the 'Aziz's insight, was part of Allah's plan to , signifying the conferral of prophethood, as many commentators like Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, and Qatadah affirm.

However, Joseph faced another severe test of faith when . Despite the immense pressure and temptation, Joseph sought refuge in Allah, declaring, "I seek the refuge of Allah. Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed". Tafsir Mazhari highlights that Joseph did not rely solely on his own resolve but first sought divine protection, illustrating a core principle of reliance on Allah. The Quran states that him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord]. This "proof" is left ambiguous in the Quran, with commentators suggesting various possibilities, such as the image of Prophet Jacob, an angel, or a divine warning. Regardless of its form, this divine intervention averted him from evil and immorality, affirming his status as one of Allah's .

When falsely accused, Joseph asserted his innocence, . A miraculous witness from her family (identified by Ibn Abbas as a babe in the cradle, according to Ibn Kathir) then provided a decisive forensic clue: if Joseph's shirt was torn from the front, he was the aggressor; if from the back, he was fleeing. The shirt torn from the back confirmed his truthfulness, leading the 'Aziz to exclaim, . In prison, Joseph continued his prophetic mission, interpreting the dreams of two fellow inmates, and proclaiming his adherence to the . His prayer, , demonstrates his profound preference for hardship in God's path over worldly sin, a sentiment echoed by the Prophet Muhammad's teaching about seven types of people shaded by Allah, including "a man who refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: 'I am afraid of Allah'" . Allah answered his invocation, averting their guile.

Rise to Authority and the Wisdom of Governance

Years later, the king of Egypt had a perplexing dream of lean, and seven green spikes of grain and others that were dry]. The court's experts failed to interpret it, but the former cup-bearer, having forgotten Joseph's request for years, now remembered Joseph's ability. Joseph, without reproach or precondition, interpreted the dream as seven years of abundance followed by seven years of severe famine. He then offered wise counsel, advising the storage of grain in its spikes to preserve it, demonstrating his foresight and knowledge beyond mere interpretation.

Before accepting the king's summons, Joseph, with exemplary integrity, insisted on clearing his name, demanding an investigation into the women who had accused him. The women, including the 'Aziz's wife, confessed, . This public exoneration ensured Joseph's honor. The king then declared, and trusted]. Joseph, recognizing the need for capable leadership during the impending famine, proactively requested, . Tafsir Mazhari explains that "knowing" (alim) implied knowledge of judicious distribution, and "guardian" (hafiz) signified honesty and preservation, combining all essential qualities for the role.

This self-nomination, while generally discouraged in Islamic tradition ("We would not give our office to a person who asks for it" - Sahih Muslim), was permissible for Joseph due to unique circumstances: his unique competence, the gravity of the impending crisis, the lack of suitable alternatives, and his pure intention to serve Allah's creation, as explained by al-Qurtubi. Thus, Allah , granting him not just the charge of the treasury but virtually the entire state, as Mujahid notes, enabling him to establish justice and divine law.

Reunion, Forgiveness, and Divine Fulfillment

The years of famine eventually brought Joseph's brothers to Egypt seeking food. He recognized them immediately, but they, unaware of his identity due to the passage of time and his transformed status, did not recognize him. Joseph, in his wisdom, orchestrated a plan to bring his full brother, Benjamin, to Egypt. He also secretly returned their merchandise money, ensuring their return, for return]. When they brought Benjamin, Joseph revealed his identity to him in private, comforting him and asking him not to grieve over their brothers' past actions.

The dramatic climax came during their third visit when Joseph, through a calculated strategy (described as "Hilah Shar`iah" or lawful device by jurists, as mentioned in Ma'arif-ul-Quran tafsir of with their bags before the bag of h...](12:76)), had a royal measuring bowl planted in Benjamin's bag, leading to his "detention" under their own tribal law. Faced with this, the brothers pleaded for Benjamin's release, offering one of themselves in his place, recalling their father's profound grief over Joseph. Their return to Jacob without Benjamin intensified his sorrow, leading him to cry so much that a suppressor]. Despite his deep pain, Jacob urged his sons, , demonstrating his unwavering faith and reliance on God.

Finally, upon their return to Egypt, humbled and in distress, the brothers implored Joseph, . At this moment, Joseph revealed his identity, asking, . Their astonished recognition, "Are you indeed Joseph?", was met with his gracious reply, . This declaration encapsulates the themes of divine favor, piety (Taqwa), and patience (Sabr) that define his story.

The reunion with his father, Jacob, was equally miraculous. As the caravan carrying Joseph's shirt departed Egypt, Jacob, many days' journey away, exclaimed, , a testament to Allah's subtle power and Joseph's enduring connection to his father. Upon arriving in Egypt, Joseph welcomed his parents and had them seated on his throne, and . This prostration, as explained by Ibn Kathir, was a permissible act of veneration in earlier laws, not worship, and fulfilled his childhood dream. Joseph then eloquently summarized his journey, attributing all blessings to Allah, giving thanks that from bedouin life after Satan had induced between me and my brothers]. Notably, he omitted mentioning the well to spare his brothers shame, demonstrating profound magnanimity and forgiveness. His final supplication, of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous], embodies his ultimate devotion and desire for a righteous end, reminding believers that true success lies in unwavering submission to Allah.

The story of Prophet Joseph is a magnificent narrative of divine sovereignty, individual steadfastness, and ultimate triumph. From the betrayal of his brothers to the temptations of power, Joseph's unwavering faith, patience, and reliance on Allah guided him through every trial. His ability to interpret dreams, his exemplary chastity, his wisdom in governance, and his profound forgiveness stand as timeless lessons for humanity. This comprehensive account, rich in Quranic verses and tafsir, illustrates the intricate ways Allah's plan unfolds, ensuring that good-doers are rewarded and the righteous are elevated, ultimately showcasing the subtle and wise hand of the All-Knowing, All-Wise Creator.

تب زلیخا نے کہا یہ وہی ہے جس کے بارے میں تم مجھے طعنے دیتی تھیں۔ اور بےشک میں نے اس کو اپنی طرف مائل کرنا چاہا مگر یہ بچا رہا۔ اور اگر یہ وہ کام نہ کرے گا جو میں اسے کہتی ہوں تو قید کردیا جائے گا اور ذلیل ہوگا

He said, "You will not receive food that is provided to you except that I will inform you of its interpretation before it comes to you. That is from what my Lord has taught me. Indeed, I have left the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah, and they, in the Hereafter, are disbelievers.

یوسف نے کہا کہ جو کھانا تم کو ملنے والا ہے وہ آنے نہیں پائے گا کہ میں اس سے پہلے تم کو اس کی تعبیر بتادوں گا۔ یہ ان (باتوں) میں سے ہے جو میرے پروردگار نے مجھے سکھائی ہیں جو لوگ خدا پر ایمان نہیں لاتے اور روز آخرت سے انکار کرتے ہیں میں ان کا مذہب چھوڑے ہوئے ہوں

And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allah. That is from the favor of Allah upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful.

And the brothers of Joseph came [seeking food], and they entered upon him; and he recognized them, but he was to them unknown.

And when he had furnished them with their supplies, he said, "Bring me a brother of yours from your father. Do not you see that I give full measure and that I am the best of accommodators?

جب یوسف نے ان کے لیے ان کا سامان تیار کر دیا تو کہا کہ (پھر آنا تو) جو باپ کی طرف سے تمہارا ایک اور بھائی ہے اسے بھی میرے پاس لیتے آنا۔ کیا تم نہیں دیکھتے کہ میں ناپ بھی پوری پوری دیتا ہوں اور مہمانداری بھی خوب کرتا ہوں

He said, "Should I entrust you with him except [under coercion] as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allah is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful."

(یعقوب نے) کہا کہ میں اس کے بارے میں تمہارا اعتبار نہیں کرتا مگر ویسا ہی جیسا اس کے بھائی کے بارے میں کیا تھا۔ سو خدا ہی بہتر نگہبان ہے۔ اور وہ سب سے زیادہ رحم کرنے والا ہے

Wa lammaa dakhaloo 'alaa Yoosufa aawaaa ilaihi akhaahu qaala inneee ana akhooka falaa tabta'is bimaa kaanoo ya'maloon

And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his brother to himself; he said, "Indeed, I am your brother, so do not despair over what they used to do [to me]."

اور جب وہ لوگ یوسف کے پاس پہنچے تو یوسف نے اپنے حقیقی بھائی کو اپنے پاس جگہ دی اور کہا کہ میں تمہارا بھائی ہوں تو جو سلوک یہ (ہمارے ساتھ) کرتے رہے ہیں اس پر افسوس نہ کرنا

So he began [the search] with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he extracted it from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother within the religion of the king except that Allah willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing.

پھر یوسف نے اپنے بھائی کے شلیتے سے پہلے ان کے شلیتوں کو دیکھنا شروع کیا پھر اپنے بھائی کے شلیتے میں سے اس کو نکال لیا۔ اس طرح ہم نے یوسف کے لیے تدبیر کی (ورنہ) بادشاہ کے قانون کے مطابق وہ مشیتِ خدا کے سوا اپنے بھائی کو لے نہیں سکتے تھے۔ ہم جس کے لیے چاہتے ہیں درجے بلند کرتے ہیں۔ اور ہر علم والے سے دوسرا علم والا بڑھ کر ہے

They said, "If he steals - a brother of his has stolen before." But Joseph kept it within himself and did not reveal it to them. He said, "You are worse in position, and Allah is most knowing of what you describe."

(برادران یوسف نے) کہا کہ اگر اس نے چوری کی ہو تو (کچھ عجب نہیں کہ) اس کے ایک بھائی نے بھی پہلے چوری کی تھی یوسف نے اس بات کو اپنے دل میں مخفی رکھا اور ان پر ظاہر نہ ہونے دیا (اور) کہا کہ تم بڑے بدقماش ہو۔ اور جو تم بیان کرتے ہو خدا اسے خوب جانتا ہے

So when they had despaired of him, they secluded themselves in private consultation. The eldest of them said, "Do you not know that your father has taken upon you an oath by Allah and [that] before you failed in [your duty to] Joseph? So I will never leave [this] land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best of judges.

جب وہ اس سے ناامید ہوگئے تو الگ ہو کر صلاح کرنے لگے۔ سب سے بڑے نے کہا کیا تم نہیں جانتے کہ تمہارے والد نے تم سے خدا کا عہد لیا ہے اور اس سے پہلے بھی تم یوسف کے بارے میں قصور کر چکے ہو تو جب تک والد صاحب مجھے حکم نہ دیں میں تو اس جگہ سے ہلنے کا نہیں یا خدا میرے لیے کوئی اور تدبیر کرے۔ اور وہ سب سے بہتر فیصلہ کرنے والا ہے

You order people to obey Allah and to keep good relations with kith and kin. No doubt the people of your tribe are dying, so please pray to Allah for them." So Allah revealed: "Then watch you For the day that The sky will bring forth a kind Of smoke Plainly visible ... Verily!

مجھ سے محمد نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو عبدہ نے خبر دی، انہیں عبیداللہ نے، انہیں سعید بن ابی سعید نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے کسی نے سوال کیا کہ انسانوں میں کون سب سے زیادہ شریف ہے تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ سب سے زیادہ شریف وہ ہے جو سب سے زیادہ متقی ہو۔ صحابہ نے عرض کیا کہ ہمارے سوال کا مقصد یہ نہیں۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ پھر سب سے زیادہ شریف یوسف علیہ السلام ہیں «نبي الله ابن نبي الله ابن نبي الله ابن خليل الله» ۔ صحابہ نے عرض کیا کہ ہمارے سوال کا یہ بھی مقصد نہیں۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اچھا، عرب کے خاندانوں کے متعلق تم معلوم کرنا چاہتے ہو؟ صحابہ نے عرض کیا جی ہاں۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جاہلیت میں جو لوگ شریف سمجھے جاتے تھے، اسلام لانے کے بعد بھی وہ شریف ہیں، جبکہ دین کی سمجھ بھی انہیں حاصل ہو جائے۔ اس روایت کی متابعت ابواسامہ نے عبیداللہ سے کی ہے۔

Narrated `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud):When the Prophet (ﷺ) realized that the Quraish had delayed in embracing Islam, he said, "O Allah! Protect me against their evil by afflicting them with seven (years of famine) like the seven years of (Prophet) Joseph." So they were struck with a year of famine that destroyed everything till they had to eat bones, and till a man would look towards the sky and see something like smoke between him and it. Allah said:-- "Then watch you (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce a kind of smoke plainly visible." (44.10) And Allah further said:-- "Verily! We shall withdraw the punishment a little, Verily you will return (to disbelief)." (44.15) (Will Allah relieve them from torture on the Day of Resurrection?) (The punishment of) the smoke had passed and Al-Batsha (the destruction of the pagans in the Badr battle) had passed too

Narrated `Abdullah:It (i.e., the imagined smoke) was because, when the Quraish refused to obey the Prophet, he asked Allah to afflict them with years of famine similar to those of (Prophet) Joseph. So they were stricken with famine and fatigue, so much so that they ate even bones. A man would look towards the sky and imagine seeing something like smoke between him and the sky because of extreme fatigue. So Allah revealed:-- 'Then watch you for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke plainly visible, covering the people; this is a painful torment.' (44.10-11) Then someone (Abu Sufyan) came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah to send rain for the tribes of Mudar for they are on the verge of destruction." On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said (astonishingly) "Shall I invoke Allah) for the tribes of Mudar? Verily, you are a brave man!" But the Prophet prayed for rain and it rained for them. Then the Verse was revealed. 'But truly you will return (to disbelief).' (44.15) (When the famine was over and) they restored prosperity and welfare, they reverted to their ways (of heathenism) whereupon Allah revealed: 'On the Day when We shall seize you with a Mighty Grasp. We will indeed (then) exact retribution.' (44.16) The narrator said, "That was the day of the Battle of Badr
