💔 The beginning: vision and intrigue
Vision: Joseph, when he was young, saw a vision: “Indeed, I saw eleven stars, and the sun and the moon. I saw them prostrating before me” (Joseph: 4). His father Jacob understood that it was a reference to his great prophetic future.
The brothers’ plot: His brothers agreed to get rid of him out of envy, so they threw him into the pit (a deep well) and then returned to their father with Joseph’s shirt stained with lying blood, so Jacob was patient with his grief.
Selling it: Some travelers (travelers) picked it up and sold it in Egypt for a cheap price to the dear of Egypt (its minister).
🐍 In the palace of the dear and the affliction
His upbringing in the palace: Youssef was raised in the palace of Al-Aziz and his wife Zuleikha, and God gave him wisdom and knowledge.
The temptation of women: Zuleikha tried to tempt Yusuf away from himself, but Yusef refused and avoided the temptation, seeking refuge in God: $God forbid. Indeed, my Lord is the best resting place. Then his innocence appeared before the testimony of the witness.
The prison plot: After the incident of the women who cut off their hands in admiration at his beauty (the story of the women in Surat Yusuf), Al-Aziz was afraid that the matter would be exposed or escalate, so Yusuf was unjustly imprisoned for some time.
🗝️ Imprisonment and interpretation of visions
In prison: Joseph was in prison calling for monotheism, and he interpreted the vision of his two companions (the cupbearer and the baker), and told one of them that he would go out and be a cupbearer for the king.
The king’s vision: Years later, the king of Egypt saw a vision that no one could explain (“Indeed, I see seven fat cows being eaten by seven lean ones, and seven green ears of corn and others dry $).
His release from prison: The cupbearer remembered Joseph, so he went to him, and Joseph interpreted the vision (seven years of prosperity followed by seven years of drought).
💰 His mandate and administration of Egypt
His request for guardianship: When the king learned of Joseph’s honesty and knowledge, he asked for him to make him close to him. But Yusuf asked to appoint him in charge of the earth’s treasuries (Minister of Finance and Economy), saying: “Indeed, I am a Guardian and All-Knowing” (Yusuf: 55).
Guardianship and Justice: Joseph became the custodian of Egypt’s treasuries. He managed the economic crisis with great efficiency, preserved the crops in the years of prosperity, and distributed them fairly in the years of drought.

The arrival of the brothers: Because of the drought, Joseph’s brothers came from Palestine to Egypt to bring supplies. Joseph knew them, but they did not know him.
Meeting Benjamin: Joseph asked them to bring their full brother Benjamin, then he planned a trick to keep him (he put the swords on his trip).
Revealing the truth: After hardship and hardship, Joseph revealed his identity: $He said, “Do you know what you did to Joseph and his brother, since you were ignorant?” They said, “By God, God has given you preference over us, even if we For sinners (Yusuf: 89-90).
Family reunification: He sent Joseph with his shirt to his father to regain his sight, then he brought them all from Palestine to Egypt.
Fulfillment of the vision: His old vision was fulfilled when his parents and brothers fell down in prostration to him (prostration of greeting and honor): $And he raised his parents on the throne and they fell down in prostration to him and said, “O my father, this is the interpretation of my vision from Before, my Lord has made it a reality (Yusuf: 100)
