Commentary
Joseph (peace be upon
him) was repugnant naturally from the sins. He was under influence of education
and training by His father Jacob (peace be upon them) that He used to engage
always in good works and remembrance of Allah Almighty. Even then, there was a
fear that if He (peace be upon him) lived in the same environment, then it
would not be possible for Him to be saved from conspiracies and contrivances of
those women; save the support of Allah Almighty.
It has been commanded
in this verse: We (Allah Almighty) heard the prayer of Joseph (peace be upon
him) because We hear the prayer of every individual and know. There is a lesson
for us in it that there are two forms of escaping from the sins:
1.
Running away from such
environment in which there is a chance of exciting evil desires.
2.
During loneliness, one
should try to stop thinking about such forms which incline unto committing any
evil.
These both forms
demand that we should avoid bad company and attend the groups of such godly
people who think good. But for being saved from the evildoers, one should
neither pray in such words, which may be cause of restlessness for him, and nor
he should do any such work for running out of issue, due to which any
misfortune falls upon oneself. Moreover, one should ask Allah Almighty of
safety always.
Being utterly sick of
alluring by the women, Joseph (peace be upon him) prayed: O my Lord!
Prison is dearer than that unto which they urge me, and if Thou fend not off
their wiles from me, I shall incline unto them and become of the ignorant.
Allah Almighty saved him (peace be upon him) from their bad company, but
because demand of prison had been appeared from His tongue, therefore, Allah
Almighty produced the same circumstances for being saved from the wicked
people.
It is commanded: After
meditating in the circumstances, at last; the people decided that Joseph (peace
be upon him) should be sent into the prison for some period and they considered
it good and proper for the time being that He (peace be upon him) should
disappear from the sight of the ruler’s wife.
