Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

Surah Yuusuf (Chapter
Joseph – peace be upon him) presents an imaginary map of the house of a Prophet
and his family. Two groups had been born, from the beginning, among twelve sons
of Prophet Jacob (peace be upon him), due to difference in their temperament. Joseph
(peace be upon him) and his brother Binyamin were in one
group, whereas other ten elder brothers were in the second, who were very
robust and strong.
Prophet Jacob (peace be upon
him) was desirous to train all of them in accord with perfect Islamic principles,
by which a mankind confronts all matters with stability and determination. In
such confronting, many difficulties come before him, but he uses the weapons of
patience and forbearance in such conditions.
It seems that Prophet Joseph
(peace be upon him) reaps the real advantage from the teachings of his father
Jacob (peace be upon him). He sees through conduct and behavior of Joseph
(peace be upon them) that this boy is encouraging. Joseph (peace be upon him)
received full influence of ethics from his father Jacob (peace be upon him),
and he tried to adopt that path; on which he saw his father. It is unavoidable
that the father, who desires to train his son correctly, will love such son.
Trend of other sons was unto
the worldly life more than enough and they used to consider that “we produce
more worldly provisions by our strength and intelligence; therefore we are more
prominent than Joseph (peace be upon him)”. Consequently, Joseph (peace be upon
him) completed his religious requirements, but his elder brothers were lovers
of the life of this world.
By the blessings of the
religion, good manners like mildness, knowledge, liberality, large-minded and
patience had been created in Joseph (peace be upon him). But due to bad presage
of the world, envy, fear, perplexity, niggard-ness and selfishness appeared in
his elder brothers.
Both groups worked in their
lives according to own ways. Resultant, Joseph (peace be upon him) rose also in
the world due to his good manners, but his brothers fell down due to
inferiority of their manners, and at last they observed “there is no expedient
save obedience of those who have good disposition”.
