  The History of Hazrat Yusuf
Hazrat Yusuf (AS) is one of the most revered prophets in Islam. He is known for his piety, patience, and forgiveness. The story of Hazrat Yusuf is recounted in Surat Yusuf in the Quran.

Early Life

Hazrat Yusuf (AS) was born in Canaan to Yaqub (AS) and his wife Rachel. He was the eleventh of twelve sons. Hazrat Yusuf was a handsome and intelligent young man. He was also a favorite of his father.

The Dream

One night, Hazrat Yusuf (AS) had a dream. In the dream, he saw the sun, moon, and eleven stars prostrating to him. He told his dream to his father, who interpreted it as a sign that he would become a great prophet.


Sold into Slavery

Hazrat Yusuf's (AS) brothers were jealous of him. They plotted to kill him, but one of them, named Judah, suggested that they sell him into slavery instead. The brothers agreed, and they sold Hazrat Yusuf to a group of traders for twenty pieces of silver.

In Egypt

The traders took Hazrat Yusuf (AS) to Egypt, where he was sold to a high-ranking official named Potiphar. Potiphar's wife, Zuleikha, falsely accused Hazrat Yusuf of trying to seduce her. Potiphar believed his wife and threw Hazrat Yusuf into prison.

In Prison

Hazrat Yusuf (AS) spent many years in prison. During this time, he befriended two other prisoners, a cupbearer and a baker. One night, the cupbearer and the baker had dreams. Hazrat Yusuf interpreted the dreams, and they both came true.

Released from Prison

The cupbearer remembered Hazrat Yusuf (AS) when he was released from prison. He told Pharaoh about Hazrat Yusuf, and Pharaoh sent for him. Hazrat Yusuf interpreted Pharaoh's dream, which predicted a seven-year famine.

Vizier of Egypt

Pharaoh was so impressed by Hazrat Yusuf's (AS) wisdom that he appointed him as the vizier of Egypt. Hazrat Yusuf used his power to prepare for the famine. He stored up food during the seven years of plenty.

Reunion with His Family

During the famine, Hazrat Yusuf's (AS) brothers came to Egypt to buy food. Hazrat Yusuf recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. Hazrat Yusuf tested his brothers and eventually revealed his identity to them.

Forgiveness

Hazrat Yusuf's (AS) brothers were ashamed of what they had done to him. However, Hazrat Yusuf forgave them and invited them to live in Egypt. Hazrat Yusuf and his family lived happily in Egypt for many years.

Legacy

Hazrat Yusuf (AS) is remembered as one of the greatest prophets of Islam. He is known for his piety, patience, and forgiveness. The story of Hazrat Yusuf is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we should never lose hope.
