One hundred lessons, one life changing event
Themes that evoke a range of emotions so powerful, so potent, themes that cry for understanding and reflection, themes that make us toss and turn late at night… as we begin to dream…
“There is instruction in their stories for people of intelligence. This is not a narration which has been invented but confirmation of all that came before, a clarification of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for people who believe.” (Surah Yusuf, 111)
These are the words spoken by Allah SWT in a surah that is drenched in lessons.
It is a surah most requested on the nights of tahajjud by the young men who seek to learn from the wisdom of one who has strived as they strive to stay pure of sin.
It is a surah most referred to by those who study the interpretations of dreams and marveled at the extraordinary gifts of Allah SWT to this one man.
It is a surah for those who seek beauty, and realize the beauty contained therein.
The story that has fascinated generations
- It has drawn tears, like those of the noble patriarch who so dearly loved his son
- It has reminded many in confined situations to glorify the favors of their Creator despite and during all tribulations
- It has spoken to brothers, sons, fathers on the value of maintaining familial ties, the ties that bind
- It has warned women on the dangers of being like “the female companions of Yusuf”, those that were so vain and so sinful, that their conduct created havoc and mischief
