5 Great Lessons We Can Learn From Surah Al-Yusuf by obafemee80(m): 4:34am On Aug 25, 2017

https://quran.com/12

Surat Yusuf is the 12th surah(chapter) of the Holy Quran.It is said to have been revealed in a single sitting,being unique in this respect.
The text narrates the story of Yusuf(the biblical Joseph).While other surahs tend to jump between topics,this sura is special in sticking to its central theme throughout,telling a coherent story in chronological order.


The surah is Makki(sent down before the Hijra),revealed in the 10th year,the year of sadness,after the Prophet lost his beloved wife Khadija and uncle Abu Talib. He was also driven out of the town of Ta’if, and was feeling very sad due to the loss of his family and difficulties in the dawah. Allah sent down this beautiful surah to be a source of peace for Prophet Muhammad,as a reminder that look how many difficulties Yusuf faced and how he persevered through them.The surah is rare in how it is exclusively discussing one story,yet is probably one of the most exciting


1) Something miserable is better than disobeying Allah:

“O my Lord! Prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me.Unless You turn away their plot from me,I will feel inclined towards them and be one of the ignorants.” (12:33)

2) Don’t be jealous:

Yaqub (as) said:

“O my son! Relate not your vision to your brothers,lest they arrange a plot against you. Verily! Shaitan (Satan) is to man an open enemy! (12:5)

3) Never give up hope in Allah:

O my sons! Go you and enquire about Yusuf and his brother,and never give up hope of Allah’s Mercy.Certainly no one despairs of Allah’s Mercy,except the people who disbelieve.” (12:87)

4) Patience is beautiful,so be patient at all times:

This whole surah gives one example after an other of how Prophet Yusuf (as) showed patience.He was patient;

• while awaiting the fulfillment of his dream
• when his brothers abandoned him in the well
• when he was sold as a slave
• when the king’s wife accused him of seduction
• he continued to be patient when he was put in jail
• when his fellow inmate was released and forgot about him
• as the king of Egypt,he continued to be patient with his brothers’ slander.

5) Forgive:

Instead of being bitter and angry,Yusuf (as) chose to forgive.With all his power as a leader, he was in a position to take revenge,make life miserable for those that had brought misery into his.But he chose the sweetness of forgiveness instead.

He responded to his brothers with the following beautiful words:

No reproach on you this day, may Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy]!(12:92)


This is indeed one of the best story narrated to us in the Qur’an.May Allah allow us to extract all the gems from this Surah for as long as we live and continue to teach us how to be better Muslims through this Surah.Ameen

As to the much realization of the good acts embedded in this Surah, ability to engage in it is quite tasking requiring the Rahmah of Allah.

To settle for misery at the expense of known pleasure isn't an easy ado.

Exhibition of patience in the face of falsehood, defamation and the likes is an uphill task.

Absolute faith in Allah isn't a simple attainment.

Forgiveness to those that tormented you and very cruel to you is undoubtedly divine.

All in all, it is Allah Hazawajallah alone that can make it possible.

Shukran for this lessons Obafemee

O you who believe! Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allaah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allaah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination.

[Quran 4:59]
