Benefits from the story of Prophet Yoosuf? (1)
All perfect praise is due to Allaah; I testify that there is nothing worthy of worship except
Allaah and Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger, upon whom may Allaah send
salutations and exalt his mention, as well as that of his family and all his Companions.
We will talk in tonight’s lecture about some of the benefits extracted from chapter
Yoosuf
.
This chapter relates the story of one of the noble prophets, peace be upon him, and
includes great admonitions and numerous benefits for the believers, as well as Islaamic
rulings which the scholars of Islaam have extracted from this wonderful story that Allaah
revealed to His Prophet
Muhammad
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam
. The story of Prophet
Yoosuf,
peace be upon him,
has a distinct, beautiful style, and neither the Jews nor the
Christians have anything like it in their books, especially in such detail. The following are
some of the extracted benefits:
l
Allaah says in the seventh verse:
which means:
“Certainly were there in Yoosuf and his brothers signs for those who
ask.”
[
Yoosuf: 7
]
Preceding this verse, Allaah informed us how He showed His prophet, peace be upon
him, a strange dream and how the father of this prophet reacted by instructing his son
not to tell his brothers of that dream; from this we learn that a father should always
direct his children and give special attention to those who appear more interested, are
willing to learn and are talented.
l
A good dream is from Allaah, and this is why his father told him not to inform his
brothers about it, because he knew that the dream would come true, and thus he
was afraid of them becoming jealous and harming him.
l
It is permissible to conceal a favour which Allaah has bestowed upon a person if he
has good reason to do so; this is why Prophet
Yoosuf's
father instructed him not
to mention the good dream, which was a favour from Allaah, lest his brothers
plot against or envy him.
ﻥﻴِﻠِﺌﺎﺴﻠِﻟ ﹲﺕﺎﻴﺁ ِﻪِﺘﻭﹾﺨِﺇﻭ ﹶﻑﺴﻭﻴ ﻲِﻓ ﻥﺎﹶﻜ ﺩﹶﻘﹶﻟ
l
Satan can entice brothers to turn against each other and make them enemies of one
another.
l
A father should be just between all his children, and if any one of them requires
extra care, the father should attend to him in a way which would not create
hatred between that child and the others.
l
Allaah chooses whom He pleases from amongst His slaves and favours them over
others, and this preference is a bounty from Him. For example, Allaah has made
us humans and not objects, believers and not infidels, and so on.
l
A good home produces good children. Allaah says in the sixth verse:
which means:
“And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of
narratives [i.e. events or dreams] and complete His favour upon you and upon the family
of Ya'qoob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Ibraaheem and Is
-
haaq.
Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise.’”
[
Yoosuf: 6
]
l
Jealousy often leads one to harm
others, which is evident in how Prophet
Yoosuf’s
brothers plotted to harm him. Furthermore, it could even lead to murder.
l
Planning to repent after the commission of a sin, whilst preparing to embark upon
it, is not an acceptable form of repentance and will be rejected by Allaah, and
this is what the brothers of
Yoosuf
, peace be upon him, planned and said as
Allaah says in the ninth verse:
which means:
“Kill Yoosuf or cast him out to another land; the countenance [i.e.
attention] of your father will then be only for you, and you will be after that a righteous
people [i.e. you can repent thereafter].”
[
Yoosuf: 9
]
l
If one fears that others may harm him, he should not suggest things to them which
they can use as a pretext to inflict the harm, such as when
Yoosuf's
father
suggested to his other sons that
Yoosuf
, peace be upon him, may get eaten by a
wolf, which they later used an excuse, claiming that
Yoosuf,
peace be upon him,
was indeed eaten by a wolf.

l
Allaah made
Yoosuf
, peace be upon him, steadfast from the beginning of this story,
from when he was thrown in the well. Allaah says in the fifteenth verse:
which means:
“But We inspired to him: You will surely inform them [someday] about
this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity].”
[
Yoosuf: 15
]
ﻥﻭﺭﻌﹾﺸﻴ ﻻ ﻡﻫﻭ ﺍﹶﺫﻫ ﻡِﻫِﺭﻤَﺄِﺒ ﻡﻬﱠﻨَﺌﺒﹶﻨﹸﺘﹶﻟ ِﻪﻴﹶﻟِﺇ ﺎﹶﻨﻴﺤﻭَﺃﻭ
l
People of insight are able to detect the pretence and falsehood of those who lie.
Allaah says in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth verses:
ﹶﺕﻨَﺃ ﺎﻤﻭ ﹾﺍﻭﹸﻟﺎﹶﻗ
ﺏْﺌﱢﺫﻟﺍ ﻪﹶﻠﹶﻜَﺄﹶﻓ ﺎﹶﻨِﻋﺎﹶﺘﻤ ﺩﹾﻨِﻋ ﹶﻑﺴﻭﻴ ﺎﹶﻨﹾﻜﺭﹶﺘﻭ ﹸﻕِﺒﹶﺘﺴﹶﻨ ﺎﹶﻨﺒﻫﹶﺫ ﺎﱠﻨِﺇ ﺎﹶﻨﺎﺒَﺃ ﺎﻴ ﺍﻭﹸﻟﺎﹶﻗ
.
ﻥﻭﹸﻜﺒﻴ ﺀﺎﹶﺸِﻋ ﻡﻫﺎﺒَﺃ ﺍﻭﺀﺎﺠﻭ
which means:
“And they came to their father at night, weeping. They said, “O our
father, indeed we went racing each other and left Yoosuf with our possessions, and a
wolf ate him
but you would not believe us, even if we were truthful.
And they brought
upon his shirt false blood. [Ya’qoob] said, “Rather, your souls have enticed you to
something””
[
Yoosuf: 16
-
18
]
.
ﻥﻴِﻗِﺩٰـﺼ ﺎﱠﻨﹸﻜ ﻭﹶﻟﻭ ﺎﹶﻨﱠﻟ ٍﻥِﻤْﺅﻤِﺒ
l
It is permissible to pass judgment upon having clear evidence, as in the case of
Yoosuf's
father judging his other sons when he saw
Yoosuf’s
shirt without any
trace of a wolf’s bite on it.
l
Racing on horses or camels and using bows and arrows is permissible, because these
things help one prepare for
Jihaad
, and likewise is the case for anything else
which would help one to prepare for
Jihaad,
and one is allowed to receive a
prize upon winning a contest in these activities. On the other hand, if it is an
activity which does not help in the preparation of
Jihaad,
then it is prohibited to
receive anything for it. A third type of competition is those in which people
compete without a prize involved, which is permissible generally, but some types
are prohibited regardless of the fact that no prizes are involved, such as cock
fighting, because it involves torturing animals or birds. As for boxing, it is
prohibited because it is centred on striking the opponents face, which is
prohibited; moreover, any competition which involves wearing clothing that
insufficiently covers one's
‘Awrah
(i.e., the parts of the body that are
Islaamically required to be covered) is also prohibited.
l
It is permissible to inform someone of your suspicions regarding his actions so that
perhaps he may repent and refrain from what he is plotting. Allaah says in the
eighty
-
third verse, that the father of
Yoosuf
, peace be upon him, said to his
other sons:
ﺍﺭﻤَﺃ ﻡﹸﻜﺴﹸﻔﻨَﺃ ﻡﹸﻜﹶﻟ ﹾﺕﹶﻟﻭﺴ ْلﺒ َلﺎﹶﻗ ٍﺏِﺫﹶﻜ ٍﻡﺩِﺒ ِﻪِﺼﻴِﻤﹶﻗ ٰﻰﹶﻠﻋ ﺍﻭﺀﺎﺠﻭ
which means:
“Rather, your souls have enticed you to something
so patience is most
fitting. Perhaps Allaah will bring them to me all together. Indeed, it is He who is the
Knowing, the Wise”
[
Yoosuf: 83
]
ﹰﺍﺭﻤَﺃ ﻡﹸﻜﺴﹸﻔﹾﻨَﺃ ﻡﹸﻜﹶﻟ ﹾﺕﹶﻟﻭﺴ ْلﺒ َلﺎﹶﻗ
l
The difference between ordinary patience and patience which is 'Most Fitting' is
that the latter, which is of a higher calibre, does not include complaining or
despair.
l
It is recommended to give glad tidings to others. Allaah says in the nineteenth verse:
which means:
“Good news! Here is a boy.”
[
Yoosuf: 19
]
However, tidings could be bad as well as good, as Allaah says:
ٍﻡﻴِﻟَﺃ ٍﺏﺍﹶﺫﻌِﺒ ﻡﻫﺭﱢﺸﺒﹶﻓ
which means:
“give them tidings of a painful punishment.”
[
Aal ‘Imraan: 21
]
But the most common form of tidings is the good type. Additionally, it is permissible
to give a gift to the bringer of glad tidings, as was the case in the story of
Ka’b
,
may
Allaah be pleased with him, who stayed behind during the Battle of
Tabook;
so when a
man brought him the news that Allaah had informed His Messenger
sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam
that
Ka’b
was forgiven,
Ka'b
may Allaah be pleased with him gave
that man a garment as a gift.
l
Enslaving and selling a free person is one of the Great Major sins.
l
Allaah bestowed a great favour upon
Yoosuf,
peace be upon him, by making him
grow up in a powerful and honourable household. Allaah informs us of the
saying of the minister
of Egypt in the twenty
-
first verse where He says:
which means:
“'Make his residence comfortable [i.e., Yoosuf's]. Perhaps he will benefit
us, or we will adopt him as a son.' And thus, We established Yoosuf in the
land.”
[
Yoosuf: 21
]
l
Allaah grants wisdom and knowledge to one who grows up in the obedience of
Allaah, as He says in the twenty
-
second verse:
ﻥﻴِﻨِﺴﺤﻤﹾﻟﺍ ﻱِﺯﺠﹶﻨ ﻙِﻟﹶﺫﹶﻜﻭ ﹰﺎﻤﹾﻠِﻋﻭ ﹰﺎﻤﹾﻜﺤ ﻩﺎﹶﻨﻴﹶﺘﺁ ﻩﺩﹸﺸَﺃ ﹶﻎﹶﻠﺒ ﺎﻤﹶﻟﻭ

which means:
“And when he [i.e. Yoosuf] reached maturity, We gave him judgement and
knowledge. And thus We reward doers of good [i.e., righteous].”
[
Yoosuf: 22
]
l
It is dangerous to be alone with a woman whom one is Islamically allowed to marry.
Allaah says in the twenty
-
third verse:
which means:
“And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. She closed the
doors.”
[
Yoosuf: 23
]
l
The plot of this woman against Prophet
Yoosuf
, peace be upon him, was an evil one
and she exploited various means, such as:
o She attempted to seduce him and invited him to her. She initiated the evil, which
usually makes it easier for a man to respond to immorality. This is the reason why
one who resists the seduction of a beautiful and powerful woman will be of those
shaded by the Throne of Allaah on the Day of Resurrection.
o He was of her household and not a stranger whose presence would arouse
suspicion among people.
o She closed the doors, and no one could see them, which would facilitate
committing immorality.
o He was young, which made it so much easier for him to respond to his strong
desires.
o She was his owner, so he was duty bound to obey her.
o He was a slave, who would not fear the spread of a scandal, unlike a free man.
o He was a foreigner in her country.
o She was a beautiful and powerful woman.
o Her husband had no protective jealousy over her, and even after he discovered
what had happened, he still did not take any action. In fact, all he said was as
Allaah says in the twenty ninth verse:
ِﻙِﺒﹾﻨﹶﺫِﻟ ﻱِﺭِﻔﹾﻐﹶﺘﺴﺍﻭ ﺍﹶﺫﻫ ﻥﻋ ﺽِﺭﻋَﺃ ﹸﻑﺴﻭﻴ
l
Allaah aids the righteous during their hardships and makes them steadfast, as He
says in the twenty
-
fourth verse:
ِﻪﺒﺭ ﻥﺎﻫﺭﺒ ﻯﺃﺭ ﻥَﺃ ﻻﻭﹶﻟ
which means:
“He would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof [i.e. sign] of his
Lord.”
[
Yoosuf: 24
] There are many stories about what these signs from his Lord
were, but there is not a single authentic narration regarding any of them, so one
should accept them as is
-
signs with which Allaah protected him from committing
ﺏﺍﻭﺒَﺄﹾﻟﺍ ِﺕﹶﻘﱠﻠﹶﻏﻭ ِﻪِﺴﹾﻔﹶﻨ ﻥﻋ ﺎﻬِﺘﻴﺒ ﻲِﻓ ﻭﻫ ﻲِﺘﱠﻟﺍ ﻪﹾﺘﺩﻭﺍﺭﻭ
which means:
“Yoosuf, ignore this [i.e. conceal it and act as if it had not taken
place]. And, [my wife], ask forgiveness for your sin”
[
Yoosuf: 29
]
o She sought the help of other women to seduce him.
o She threatened to imprison him.
