Prophet Yusuf (a.s.) - in the blessed country of Canaan, where centuries ago the history of perseverance, faith, forgiveness, and the name of Allah, Yaqub (a.s.) lived. He has 12 sons, each with different characteristics. However, among them, the youngest - Yusuf (A.S.) - was the most popular. Not only was he good looking, he was very intelligent, calm and deeply connected to Allah.

was a very special one at a young age. One night, he came to his father excitedly and said to him:

: "Dear Father! I saw in my dream that and the moon, and the moon, the eleven stars succumb to me!"

The Prophet Jakub (A.S.) was not surprised. He understood that this dream was symbolic - a sign that Yusuf (A.S.) had a big future ahead of him. However, he warned his son not to share this dream with his brother. Unfortunately, this fear has become true.

Yusufs (A.S.) brothers became jealous over time. They believed that her father loved Yusuf more than her. vy Her heart is filled with hope and anger. One day they planned together and said:

: "We will remove Yusuf. Then our Father will love us more."

You convinced Yaqub (a.s.), Yusuf to accompany him in the field. Reluctantly, his father agreed after his repeated assurances.

However, when they were far away, the brother Yusuf (A.S.) revealed it and threw it into a deep, dark fountain. It was a heartbreaking moment for Yusuf, but he never stopped trusting Allah.

The brothers lied and went home. They brought Yusuf's shirt with fake blood and said:

- "The wolf ate him while we weren't looking!"

Yaqub (a.s.) saw an untouched, clean shirt, except for the wrong blood. His heart hurts, but he knew they were lying. Nevertheless, he turned to Allah with tears in his eyes and said:

- "Nice perseverance (sabr jamel). I trust Allah. He will protect my son."

Meanwhile, a group of travelers passed through the fountain. When they dropped the bucket, they were surprised to catch the boy. They pleased Yusuf (a.s.) to Egypt and sold him as a slave at an affordable price. Egyptian

purchased the noble Yusuf (a.s.) and brought him to his house. Over time, Yusuf became a wise, strong, and reliable man. Impressed by his beauty, the noble wife tried to seduce him. However, the fair and respectful Yusuf (A.S.) refused her progress.

He wept after Allah, - "My Lord! The prison is more loved by me than to fall into sin."

Yusuf was mistakenly imprisoned for his integrity. But even in prison, he remained calm and loyal. He helped fellow prisoners by interpreting their dreams and leading them to believe in God.

Years have passed. One day, the king of Egypt had a strange dream. Seven fat cows were eaten in seven slim and seven green corn and seven dried corn. No one could explain what it means. Then someone remembered Yusuf - a dream interpreter from prison.

Yusuf (a.s.) was brought to the king. He listened carefully and explained in

. "Seven years are a lot, then seven years of severe hunger will continue. King

was impressed by the high-ranking minister to manage the kingdom, and appointed Yusuf (A.S.). Yusuf's honesty, wisdom and faith made him an Egyptian loved one.

,

years later, hunger spread to the area. Yusuf's brothers traveled from Canaan to Egypt and searched for food. They didn't recognize him, but Yusuf knew who they were. He tested her integrity and later revealed his identity.

Shocked and embarrassed, they asked for forgiveness:

- "We have made you wrong, brother. Please forgive us!"

With a heart full of mercy, Yusuf (a.s.) smiled and said:

- "There is no fault for today. May Allah forgive them. He is most merciful."

After Yusuf (A.S.) invited his whole family to Egypt. When his parents and siblings stood before him, they paid respect and in the moment respected - his childhood dreams came true. As he saw, the sun, moon and eleven stars bowed in front of him.

All the processes - Freyal, slavery, prison, separation - Yusuf (a.s.) was patient, dependent on Allah, and forgot the wrong person.
