This Chapter was revealed
in Makkah. With regard to arrangement, it is twelfth Surah of
Holy Qur’an and it contains twelve Sections also, in which,
story of Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) has been described. Characteristic
of this Chapter is that; in it, no other topic has been discussed save the
circumstances and their results in respect of Joseph (peace be upon him), from
which we can take many lessons.
Story of Prophet Joseph (peace
be upon him) has not been described at any other place in the entire Holy Qur’an.
Except Him, circumstances of other Prophets (peace be upon them) have been
mentioned in different paragraphs at various places, but it has not been
discussed even a word about Joseph (peace be upon him) at any other place in
Holy Qur’an. In how much different circumstances had He lived in
the world, did not come in front of any other Prophet (peace be upon them).
Even those were such circumstances; by effect of which, actual feelings of a
mankind come in motion. It becomes very difficult for a human being to control
himself in the tempests of the passions. Some times, influence of others’
passion is also very strong on a person.
Maximum part of the life of Prophet
Joseph (peace be upon him) passed in such storms of the passions. The entire
story regarding the way of confronting such circumstances by Him (peace be upon
him) has been put at one place (in this Surah), so that every
individual may know “How to face such circumstances?”
Prophet Jacob (peace be upon
him) had twelve sons from different wives. From them, Joseph and Binyamin were
sons of one mother. He (peace be upon him) used to love Joseph (peace be upon
him) most. By observing inclination of father’s more love toward one son than
others, envy grew in the hearts of other brothers against Joseph (peace be upon
him). Personally, He (peace be upon him) was not guilty in this matter. But He
(peace be upon him) had to suffer the results of their jealously and was sold
by His brothers as a slave. Wife of a great officer bought Him and she was
involved in His (peace be upon him) love. But Joseph (peace be upon him) did
not give up God-fearing and He was put into the prison.
After that, the circumstances
turned over, Joseph (peace be upon him) became Finance Minister of the King of
Egypt. He (peace be upon him) arranged food for the people during the famine,
called His parents and brothers, and colonized them in Egypt. And He
(peace be upon him) forgave the error of His (peace be upon him) brothers.
