نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ بِمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ لَمِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ
„Mi ti kazujemo najljepše kazivanje objavljujući ti ovaj Kur’an, a ti prije njega o tome nisi ništa znao.“ (Jusuf, 3)

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ
Hvala Allahu, Gospodaru svjetova, a salavat i selam na našeg Vjerovjesnika Muhammeda i na njegovu porodicu i sve njegove ashabe.

Nastavljamo sa tefsirom sure Jusuf. Nakon što Jusuf bi zatvoren u zatvoru, sa njim uđoše još dvojica mladića.
- 0:41
Dvojica mladića koji su u zatvoru sanjali čudne snove. A ta dvojica mladića su bili: jedan od njih je bio vinotoča, kraljev, a drugi je bio kuhar.
- 0:59
Pa smo spomenuli da im je ponuđeno za novac, ili nešto drugo, da otruju kralja. Da otruju kralja. Pa je ovaj vinotoča odbio to, a ovaj kuhar je prihvatio. Ali kralj je ostao zbunjen, pošto je vinotoča rekao: „Nemoj da pojedeš tu hranu, otrovana je“, pa je došao ovaj kuhar, rekao kralju: „Nemoj popiti to piće, otrovno je.“
- 1:27
Pa je onda kralj ostao zbunjen: ko sad govori istinu? I onda ih je zatvorio, dok se ne ispita ko je u pravu. Pa oni sanjaše: jedan je sanjao da cijedi grožđe kako bi napravio vino, a drugi sanja da mu je hljeb iznad glave i da ptice jedu od toga hljeba. Pa dođoše Jusufu, alejhis-salatu ves-selam.
- 2:01
Jusuf, alejhis-selam – šta radi Jusuf? Jusuf ne odgovara direktno na njihovo pitanje, to jest ne kreće u tumačenje snova odmah.
- 2:19
Već kaže Jusuf: ima nešto važnije od toga, ima nešto važnije od tumačenja snova. Pa Jusuf iskoristi priliku da ih pozove u obožavanje samo Allaha. Zbog čega? Zbog toga što su oni bili mnogobošci.
- 2:36
A Jusuf – poslanik. Pa im reče Jusuf, kaže: „Ja sam ostavio“, to jest „nisam prihvatio vjeru onog naroda s kojim sam odrastao“, to jest onih ljudi s kojima je odrastao u dvoru.
- 2:56
„Već sam“, kaže, „vettebe'tu millete aba'i Ibrahime ve Ishake ve Ja'kub“ – „nego sam“, kaže, „ostao da slijedim vjeru mog pradjeda Ibrahima, djeda Ishaka i mog oca Jakuba, i ostao sam na njihovoj vjeri.“
- 3:16
مَا كَانَ لَنَا أَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ
„Nama ne priliči da ikoga Allahu ravnim smatramo…“ (Jusuf, 38)
- 3:20
Kaže: „Ne dolikuje nama da Allahu činimo širk, da Allahu pripisujemo druga.“ Kaže: „To je od Allahove milosti prema nama.“ Obraća se Jusuf njima,
- 3:36
kaže: „To je od Allahove milosti prema nama.“ Pa nema veće blagodati od upute, draga braćo, nema veće blagodati od upute. I zato čovjek, kad vidi nekog da nema upute, da ima puno novca, nemojte, draga braćo, da se čovjek puno sekira. Kaže Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, Svome Poslaniku: „Ve la temuddenne ajnejke ila ma metta'na bihi ezvadžen minhum zehretel-hajatid-dunja li neftinehum fih“ – nemoj da ti idu oči na ono što oni imaju
- 4:17
od dunjaluka; Mi smo im to dali – zbog čega? – da bismo ih iskušali. A ono što će tebi Allah dati, rizk, bolje je i vječnije. Pa ono što će Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, dati vjerniku na ahiretu mnogo je bolje i vječnije. Zato ne treba čovjek puno da se sekira.
- 4:50
Pa rizk, vallahu… [nejasno] daje onome kome hoće. Pa kaže, kaže: „Vettebe'tu millete aba'i Ibrahime ve Ishake ve Ja'kub, ma kane lena en nušrike billahi min šej'. Zalike min fadlillahi alejna“ – pa od blagodati Allahove prema nama – „ve alen-nas“ – i, kaže, prema ljudima. Pa je uputa, uputa od Allahovih blagodati, od najvećih Allahovih blagodati, to jest najveća Allahova blagodat prema ljudima. „ولكن أكثر الناس لا يشكرون“ – ali većina ljudi [nejasno]
- 5:31
[nejasno] ajeta, puno ajeta Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, [nejasno]: „ولكن أكثر الناس لا يؤمنون“ – ali većina ljudi ne vjeruje [nejasno] „ولكن أكثرهم لا يعقلون“ – ali većina ljudi ne razmišlja, ne mozga, ne koristi mozak. Pa, kao što smo rekli, Jusuf je htio nešto više, nešto više da im kaže, ne samo da im protumači snove, već je htio nešto više. Ovo se u šerijatu,
- 6:11
ovaj, naziva, kaže, „el-dževabul-hakim“, kaže, mudri odgovor: da onaj koji je upitan ne cilja pitanje, odgovor na pitanje, nego nešto više. Pa imamo u hadisima Poslanika, ili u sunnetu Poslanika, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, dosta ovih primjera, gdje, kada ga pitaju ashabi, kažu: „Poslaniče, ako bi se desili“, kažu, „na moru, na lađi, imamo samo“, kažu, „malo vode“, kažu, „hoćemo li tom vodom uzeti abdest ili ćemo je ostaviti za piće, a uzeti abdest morskom vodom?“
- 6:52
Šta kaže Poslanik, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem? Kaže: „Huvet-tahuru ma'uhu“ – kaže: morska voda je čista, pa uzmite sa njom, pa uzmite sa njom abdest.
- 7:04
A, kaže, one životinje koje su u vodi, kaže, one su vam halal, pa čak i da su mrtve. Znači, riba je halal i ako je uginula, i ako je mrtva.
- 7:20
Znači, halal je muslimanu da je uzme, da je pojede. Pa je Poslanik, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, dao im nešto više. Tako i Jusuf: oni su ga pitali o snovima, ali Jusuf je – šta? – uvidio priliku da ih pozove. Pa im je dao malo veći odgovor. Pa vidimo, draga braćo, kada god čovjek uvidi priliku – posebno mi ovdje koji dolazimo, klanjamo, znamo za Allaha, znamo za Poslanika, znamo za islam – treba da iskoristimo tu priliku: kada vidimo da možemo da utičemo u datom trenutku na nekoga, da odmah utičemo.
- 7:55
Kao što je to uradio Jusuf. Znači, uvidio je priliku, odmah je krenuo da poziva, da poziva ovu dvojicu u obožavanje Allaha. Pa je, kaže, kaže: „Ova vaša lažna božanstva,
- 8:15
raznorazna – jesu li“, kaže, „ona bolja od Allaha, Svemogućeg, Jedinog?“ Nisu bolja. Pa je ovo potvrdno pitanje, gdje govornik ne želi informaciju; to nije želio ni Jusuf. Jusuf je znao da je Allah bolji, ali je htio da ova dvojica potvrde to što on pita.
- 8:39
Pa će sad neko upitati: „Dobro, efendija, zbog čega ti o ovome govoriš ovdje? Nema ovdje ljudi koji, ne znam, obožavaju druga božanstva. Svi mi obožavamo Allaha“, i tako dalje.
- 8:56
Nije, draga braćo, poenta samo kada vidimo čovjeka da se klanja nekom kipu, ili tako dalje. Može čovjek lahko da uzme svoje prohtjeve za božanstvo: novac, dunjaluk.
- 9:14
Pa to Allah spominje u Kur'anu, obraća se Poslaniku i kaže… Kaže: „Jesi li vidio“, kaže, „Božiji Poslaniče, onoga koji je uzeo svoje prohtjeve za božanstvo?“ Pa sve ono čemu se čovjek pokorava – bilo svojoj duši, svojim prohtjevima, svom dunjaluku ili nekom drugom – to je, znači, on uzeo za božanstvo.
- 9:45
Zbog čega? Ne slijedi ono što mu je Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, naredio, Njegov Poslanik, nego baš ono što njegova duša hoće. Pa sve što mu duša hoće, što mu duša naredi, on to radi. Pa je uzeo svoju dušu, svoje prohtjeve za božanstvo.
- 10:04
Kaže dalje Jusuf, alejhis-selam: „Ovo što vi ovdje obožavate u Egiptu nisu ništa drugo osim imena, lažna imena, lažna božanstva, kojima ste vi dali imena, i vaši očevi, za šta Allah nikakav dokaz nije spustio.“ Allah nije spustio dokaz da ih obožavate, nema dokaza, nije Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, rekao „obožavajte to i to“, već je Allah – šta kaže? – Allah je naredio da samo Njega obožavate,
- 10:54
„ve bil-validejni ihsana“ – i da činite dobročinstvo prema roditeljima. „Zalikeddinul-kajjim“ – kaže: to je prava vjera, ovakva je vjera – „ve lakinne ekseren-nasi la ja'lemun“ – ali, kaže, većina ljudi ne zna, [nejasno], kaže, većina ljudi ne zna. Pa Jusuf ovdje im završi što se tiče da've, što se tiče poziva.
- 11:20
Pa Jusuf ovdje pozva ih u obožavanje Allaha. Kaže Jusuf dalje – sad se vraća na tumačenje snova: „Ja sahibejis-sidžni“ – kaže: „O vi sutamničari“, ili „o vi koji boravite u zatvoru zajedno sa mnom.“
- 11:40
„Emma ehadukuma fe jeski rabbehu hamra“ – jedan od vas dvojice će, kaže, biti vinotoča kralju i bit će blizak kralju. Jedan od vas dvojice – bit će blizak kralju.
- 11:56
Zbog čega? Zbog toga što mu je spasio život. Pa će ga kralj uzeti iz zatvora, vratiti ga na dvor i bit će blizak, njegov saradnik. „Ve emmal-aharu fe juslebu fe te'kulut-tajru min re'sih“ – a, kaže, drugi će biti pogubljen
- 12:14
i razapet, i ptice će kljucati njegovu glavu, njegov mozak, to jest jest će iz njegove glave, iz njegovog mozga, i tako, i tako dalje, njegovo tijelo.
- 12:29
Pa, kaže, to je što se tiče tumačenja ovih snova, to je završeno. I to će biti tako. I bilo je tako. I eto, draga braćo, kako je Jusuf pametno njima i na lijep način… Nije rekao: „Ti, ti ćeš da budeš ubijen, ti ćeš da budeš spašen.“
- 12:49
Već je rekao „jedan od vas“, nije htio, nije htio direktno, nego „jedan od vas“. Pa je to od lijepog ahlaka Jusufa i od njegove, znači, oštroumnosti. Zamislite da je rekao čovjeku: „Ti ćeš da budeš pogubljen“, a onom: „Ti ćeš da budeš spašen.“
- 13:10
Vjerovatno bi čovjek imao nervni slom i tako dalje. Nego je, kaže, „jedan od vas“, pa vidjet ćete koji će biti. Kaže dalje: Jusuf, alejhis-selam, kada im je protumačio ove snove, i reče Jusuf onome za kojeg je znao 100% da će da bude spašen – za kojeg je znao sto posto da će da bude spašen, da se vrati na dvor: „Uzkurni inde rabbik“ – kaže: „Spomeni me kod kralja, pošto ćeš ti da budeš od njegovih bliskih ljudi.
- 13:51
Spomeni me kod njega. Reci: ima ovdje u zatvoru jedan čovjek kojem je velika nepravda učinjena.“ Pa, kaže, šejtan učini da ovaj mladić zaboravi na Jusufa. I izašao je iz zatvora i zaboravio na Jusufa, zaboravio ono što mu je Jusuf rekao.
- 14:14
Imamo mufessira koji ipak govore, kažu: Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, je kaznio Jusufa zbog toga što se nije oslonio na Allaha, nego se oslonio, kažu, na ovog mladića da ga spomene kod kralja. Ali to je daleko. Daleko je to da Jusuf zaboravi na Allaha.
- 14:32
Pa ćete poslije, inšaAllah – sutra ćemo govoriti – kada kaže Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, za ovog mladića, kaže: „Veddekere ba'de ummeh“ – kaže: pa se, kaže, sjetio ovaj mladić Jusufa. Sjetio se nakon nekog vakta, sjetio se Jusufa. A ne može da se sjeti [nejasno] koji je zaboravio.
- 14:49
Ne može ovaj Jusuf da se sjeti, kad nije spomenuto da je on bilo šta zaboravio. Jer je on cijelo vrijeme spominjao Allaha, subhanehu ve te'ala, i cijelo vrijeme se oslanjao na Allaha. Znate i sami te ove ajete koje smo spominjali.
- 15:05
فَلَبِثَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ
„I on ostade u zatvoru nekoliko godina.“ (Jusuf, 42)
- 15:08
Pa poslije toga Jusuf je ostao u zatvoru određen broj godina. „Bid'u“ na arapskom znači od 3 do 10 godina. Pa je, kaže, većina učenjaka na tome, kažu, da je ostao 7 godina u zatvoru.
- 15:25
Zamislite, draga braćo, 7 godina u zatvoru nakon ovoga. Pa ovo je poruka bila Muhammedu, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, a i svima nama. Jer ova sura je došla u vrijeme kada je Muhammedu, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, bilo najteže, kada mu je preselila Hatidža, hanuma, kada su ga Kurejšije bojkotovali, tj. kada su Kurejšije bojkotovali muslimane, niti su kupovali od njih, niti prodavali itd.
- 15:48
Pa je ova sura namjerno, ovaj, poslata kao motivacija Poslaniku. Vidimo šta se desilo Jusufu. Pa, Poslaniče, vidiš kako je Jusuf proveo sedam godina u zatvoru, pa ga je poslije toga Allah, subhanehu ve te'ala, uzdigao. Pa i tebe će, Božiji Poslaniče. Samo šta je potrebno? Da je čovjek strpljiv.
- 16:10
Prvo bogobojazan. Znači, ovaj recept za uspjeh jeste bogobojaznost i strpljivost. I onda, nakon toga, nakon toga dolazi uspjeh, sto posto. Ovdje stajemo, ako Bog da, sutra nastavljamo.
- 16:28
Allah vam dao svako dobro. Es-selamu alejkum ve rahmetullahi ve berekatuh.

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ بِمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ لَمِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ
“We relate to you the best of stories in revealing to you this Qur’an, though before it you were among the unaware.” (Yusuf 12:3)
- 0:20
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his companions.
- 0:26
We continue with the tafsir (commentary) of Surah Yusuf. After Yusuf was locked up in prison, two more young men came in with him.
- 0:41
Two young men who, in prison, saw strange dreams. And these two young men were: one of them was the king's cupbearer, and the other was a cook.
- 0:59
We mentioned that they had been offered money, or something else, to poison the king. To poison the king. The cupbearer refused, and the cook accepted. But the king was left confused, since the cupbearer said: "Do not eat that food, it is poisoned," and then the cook came and told the king: "Do not drink that drink, it is poisonous."
- 1:27
So then the king was left confused: who is telling the truth now? And so he imprisoned them until it could be investigated who was right. And they had dreams: one dreamt that he was pressing grapes to make wine, and the other dreamt that there was bread above his head and that birds were eating from that bread. So they came to Yusuf, alayhis-salatu was-salam (peace be upon him).
- 2:01
Yusuf, alayhis-salam – what does Yusuf do? Yusuf does not answer their question directly, that is, he does not start interpreting the dreams straight away.
- 2:19
Rather, Yusuf says: there is something more important than that, there is something more important than interpreting dreams. So Yusuf took the opportunity to call them to the worship of Allah alone. Why? Because they were polytheists.
- 2:36
And Yusuf – a prophet. So Yusuf said to them: "I have left," that is, "I have not accepted the religion of the people with whom I grew up", that is, those people with whom he grew up in the palace.
- 2:56
"Rather," he says, "wattaba'tu millata aba'i Ibrahima wa Ishaqa wa Ya'qub" – "but I have," he says, "remained following the religion of my great-grandfather Ibrahim, my grandfather Ishaq and my father Yaqub, and I have remained upon their religion."
- 3:16
مَا كَانَ لَنَا أَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ
“It is not for us to associate anything with Allah…” (Yusuf 12:38)
- 3:20
He says: "It does not befit us to commit shirk with Allah, to ascribe partners to Allah." He says: "That is from Allah's mercy towards us." Yusuf addresses them,
- 3:36
he says: "That is from Allah's mercy towards us." There is no greater blessing than guidance, dear brothers, there is no greater blessing than guidance. And that is why, when a person sees someone who has no guidance but has a lot of money, do not, dear brothers, let a person fret too much. Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says to His Messenger: "Wa la tamuddanna 'aynayka ila ma matta'na bihi azwajan minhum zahratal-hayatid-dunya li naftinahum fih" – do not let your eyes stray to what they have
- 4:17
of the dunya (this world); We gave it to them – why? – in order to test them. And what Allah will give you, the provision (rizq), is better and more lasting. What Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, will give the believer in the Hereafter (akhirah) is much better and more lasting. That is why a person should not fret too much.
- 4:50
Provision, wallahu… [unclear] He gives to whom He wills. So he says, he says: "Wattaba'tu millata aba'i Ibrahima wa Ishaqa wa Ya'qub, ma kana lana an nushrika billahi min shay'. Dhalika min fadlillahi 'alayna" – that is from Allah's favour towards us – "wa 'alan-nas" – and, he says, towards people. So guidance, guidance is among Allah's blessings, among the greatest of Allah's blessings, that is, Allah's greatest blessing towards people. "ولكن أكثر الناس لا يشكرون" – but most people [unclear]
- 5:31
[unclear] verses, many verses Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, [unclear]: "ولكن أكثر الناس لا يؤمنون" – but most people do not believe [unclear] "ولكن أكثرهم لا يعقلون" – but most people do not reflect, do not think, do not use their brains. So, as we said, Yusuf wanted something more, to tell them something more, not just to interpret their dreams; he wanted something more. In the Sharia this
- 6:11
is called, well, it is said, "al-jawabul-hakim", it is said, the wise answer: when the one who is asked does not aim only at the question, the answer to the question, but at something more. And in the hadiths of the Prophet, or in the Sunnah of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam (peace be upon him), we have quite a few of these examples, where, when the companions ask him, they say: "O Messenger, if we happened to be," they say, "at sea, on a ship, and we have only," they say, "a little water," they say, "should we use that water for ablution (wudu) or should we keep it for drinking and make ablution with sea water?"
- 6:52
What does the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, say? He says: "Huwat-tahuru ma'uhu" – he says: sea water is pure, so use it, so use it for ablution.
- 7:04
And, he says, those creatures that are in the water, he says, are halal for you, even if they are dead. Meaning, fish is halal even if it has died, even if it is dead.
- 7:20
Meaning, it is halal for a Muslim to take it, to eat it. So the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, gave them something more. So too Yusuf: they asked him about dreams, but Yusuf – what? – saw an opportunity to call them. So he gave them a somewhat fuller answer. So we see, dear brothers, whenever a person sees an opportunity – especially we here who come, who pray, who know of Allah, who know of the Prophet, who know of Islam – we should seize that opportunity: when we see that we can influence someone at a given moment, we should influence him at once.
- 7:55
As Yusuf did. Meaning, he saw the opportunity and immediately began to call, to call these two to the worship of Allah. So, it says, he says: "These false deities of yours,
- 8:15
all sorts of them – are they," he says, "better than Allah, the Almighty, the One?" They are not better. This is an affirmative question, where the speaker does not want information; Yusuf did not want that either. Yusuf knew that Allah is better, but he wanted these two to affirm what he was asking.
- 8:39
Now someone will ask: "All right, Effendi, why are you talking about this here? There are no people here who, I don't know, worship other deities. We all worship Allah," and so on.
- 8:56
It is not, dear brothers, only about when we see a person bowing down to some idol, and so on. A person can easily take his desires as a deity: money, the dunya.
- 9:14
Allah mentions this in the Qur'an, addressing the Prophet, and says… He says: "Have you seen," He says, "O Messenger of Allah, the one who has taken his desires as his deity?" So everything a person submits to – whether his soul, his desires, his dunya or someone else – that, meaning, is what he has taken as a deity.
- 9:45
Why? He does not follow what Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, has commanded him, and His Messenger, but precisely what his soul wants. So whatever his soul wants, whatever his soul commands him, he does it. So he has taken his soul, his desires, as a deity.
- 10:04
Yusuf, alayhis-salam, further says: "What you worship here in Egypt is nothing but names, false names, false deities, which you and your fathers have named, for which Allah has sent down no proof." Allah did not send down any proof that you should worship them, there is no proof, Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, did not say "worship this and that"; rather Allah – what does He say? – Allah has commanded that you worship Him alone,
- 10:54
"wa bil-walidayni ihsana" – and that you do good to your parents. "Dhalikad-dinul-qayyim" – he says: that is the right religion, such is the religion – "wa lakinna aktharan-nasi la ya'lamun" – but, he says, most people do not know, [unclear], he says, most people do not know. So here Yusuf finished with them as far as da'wah, as far as the call is concerned.
- 11:20
So here Yusuf called them to the worship of Allah. Yusuf further says – now he returns to the interpretation of the dreams: "Ya sahibayis-sijni" – he says: "O you fellow prisoners," or "O you who stay in prison together with me."
- 11:40
"Amma ahadukuma fa yasqi rabbahu khamra" – one of you two will, he says, be cupbearer to the king and will be close to the king. One of you two – will be close to the king.
- 11:56
Why? Because he saved his life. So the king will take him out of prison, return him to the palace, and he will be close to him, his associate. "Wa ammal-akharu fa yuslabu fa ta'kulut-tayru min ra'sih" – and, he says, the other will be executed
- 12:14
and crucified, and birds will peck at his head, his brain, that is, they will eat from his head, from his brain, and so on, and so on, his body.
- 12:29
So, he says, as far as the interpretation of these dreams is concerned, that is done. And it will be so. And it was so. And there you have it, dear brothers, how cleverly and kindly Yusuf put it to them… He did not say: "You, you will be killed, you will be saved."
- 12:49
Rather he said "one of you", he did not want, did not want to say it directly, but "one of you". That is from Yusuf's fine character (akhlaq) and from his, meaning, sharp-wittedness. Imagine if he had told a man: "You will be executed," and the other: "You will be saved."
- 13:10
The man would probably have had a nervous breakdown and so on. Instead he says "one of you", and you will see which one it will be. It goes on: Yusuf, alayhis-salam, when he had interpreted these dreams for them, said to the one he knew 100% would be saved – whom he knew one hundred percent would be saved and return to the palace: "Udhkurni 'inda rabbik" – he says: "Mention me to the king, since you will be among his close people.
- 13:51
Mention me to him. Say: there is a man here in prison to whom a great injustice has been done." But, it says, Shaytan made this young man forget about Yusuf. And he left the prison and forgot about Yusuf, forgot what Yusuf had told him.
- 14:14
There are mufassirun (Qur'an commentators) who nevertheless say: Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, punished Yusuf because he did not rely on Allah, but relied, they say, on this young man to mention him to the king. But that is far-fetched. It is far-fetched that Yusuf would forget about Allah.
- 14:32
You will see later, in sha Allah – we will talk about it tomorrow – when Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, says about this young man: "Waddakara ba'da ummah" – He says: and, it says, this young man remembered Yusuf. He remembered after some time, he remembered Yusuf. And it cannot be [unclear] who forgot to remember.
- 14:49
It cannot be Yusuf who remembered, since it is not mentioned that he forgot anything. Because he was mentioning Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, the whole time, and the whole time he relied on Allah. You yourselves know these verses that we have mentioned.

فَلَبِثَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ
“So he remained in prison for several years.” (Yusuf 12:42)
- 15:08
So after that Yusuf remained in prison a certain number of years. "Bid'" in Arabic means from 3 to 10 years. And, it is said, most scholars hold that he remained in prison for 7 years.

Imagine, dear brothers, 7 years in prison after this. This was a message to Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and to all of us as well. Because this surah came at a time when things were hardest for Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when his wife Khadijah passed away, when the Quraysh boycotted him, i.e. when the Quraysh boycotted the Muslims, neither buying from them nor selling to them, etc.

So this surah was deliberately, well, sent as motivation for the Prophet. We see what happened to Yusuf. So, O Messenger, you see how Yusuf spent seven years in prison, and after that Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, raised him up. So He will raise you too, O Messenger of Allah. Only what is needed? That a person be patient.

First, God-fearing. Meaning, this recipe for success is God-consciousness (taqwa) and patience. And then, after that, after that comes success, one hundred percent. Here we stop; in sha Allah, tomorrow we continue.

May Allah grant you every good. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
