ارة فأرسلوا واردهم فأدلى دلوه �وجاءت سيوه بضاعة �قال يا بشرى هذا غالم وأسر �
ه عليم بما يعملون والل 19 . And there came a company of travelers; then they
sent their water drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said, "Good news! Here is a boy." And they concealed
him, [taking him] as merchandise; and Allah was knowing of what they did.
وشروه بثمن بخس دراهم معدودة اهدين وكانوا فيه من الز
20. And they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning
him, of those content with little.
• Trial upon trial on Yusuf A.S
Why All the Trials?
Allah was preparing him for higher responsibilities
Life experiences broaden your understanding
He needed to understand human psyche really well, through all kinds of experiences
You need to leave a protected environment and fend for yourself to really grow!
ذي اشتراه من مصر المرأته أكرمي وقال الخذه ولدا مثواه عسى أن ينفعنا أو نت
21 . And the one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son."
مه من ا ليوسف في األرض ولنعل ن وكذلك مكه غالب على أمره ولكن �تأويل األحاديث والل
اس ال يعلمون أكثر الن And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We
might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the
people do not know.

ك� ولما بلغ أشده آتيناه حكما وعلما ل� ذك ك� ك� ك ل�ي ل� ح� م� ح� ل�ي ا ح� ك�
22. And when Joseph reached maturity, We gave him judgment and knowledge. And thus
We reward the doers of good.

Knowledge With Wisdom
Knowledge is what you know, wisdom is the capacity to judge .
Wisdom is knowing what to know, how much and
what to do with it.
Knowledge is obtained, wisdom is developed.
Who is a Mushin?
In this context: One who does sabr with GRACE when facing the trials sent by Allah
When you do ihsan:
• You aqcuire emotional strength• You reach the height of your personality
فسه تي هو في بيتها عن ن وراودته القت األبواب وقالت هيت لك وغل
23. And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. She closed the doors and said, "Come, you." He said, "[I seek] the refuge of
Allah.
• Seduction facts and figures
Seduction Statistics• Women who read romance novels are more easily seduced than those women who don't, and have sex twice as often, a study found.• Scientists from Indiana University found that when men were shown images of women making an advance, they tended to see sexual cues as being merely friendly, and saw friendly gestures as showing sexual interest.
Is He/She Flirting?
Five signs of
someone flirting:
Their eyes will flit around your face
and body
They begin to mirror your
actions
They raise their eyebrows when they first meet
you (ever so slightly) Their feet and
hands will point towards you
subconsciously
Their pupil size and blink rate
increases.
ه ال يفلح الظالمون ي أحسن مثواي إن ه رب �إن23 Contd. Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not
succeed."
• Link between gratitude and avoiding temptations
Avoiding Temptations• Yusuf A.S remembered the goodness of his master and would not think of sinning against him.• When we sin, we let someone down (a human), and we essentially disregard all of Allah’s blessings when we can’t even obey Him in return for all of those.• When tempted to do wrong, think:
– Who am I letting down?– My parents?– My teachers?– My friends?– ALLAH?
ه أى برهان رب �ولقد همت به وهم بها لوال أن ر � ه من عبادنا وء والفحشاء إن �كذلك لنصرف عنه الس
المخلصين 24 .And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he
would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord. And thus [it was] that We should avert from him evil
and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our chosen servants .
• وء والفحشاء evil and immorality - الس
• Chosen people - المخلصين
وء والفحشاء السIn today’s world, it is common to lose one’s virginity by age
16.
An American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers survey recently showed that in the last 12 months, Internet-
related issues caused 62% of all divorce cases .
Studies show that over 80% of marriages in the U.S. have an unfaithful partner.
Sex is popular. Many television shows represent sex as fun and exciting without any repercussions.
المخلصين
Avoid evil
Avoid immorality
Become a mukhlis
Do good deeds
purely for Allah
Good deeds form chains!
دها لدى واستبقا الباب وقدت قميصه من دبر وألفيا سي �الباب قالت ما جزاء من أراد بأهلك سوءا إال أن يسجن
أو عذاب أليم25 .And they both raced to the door, and she tore his shirt from
the back, and they found her husband at the door. She said, "What is the recompense of one who intended evil for your wife
but that he be imprisoned or a painful punishment "?
فسي وشهد شاهد من أهلها إن �قال هي راودتني عن نكان قميصه قد من قبل فصدقت وهو من الكاذبين
26] .Joseph [said, "It was she who sought to seduce me." And a witness from her family testified. "If his shirt is torn from the
front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars .
وإن كان قميصه قد من دبر فكذبت وهو من الصادقين27 .But if his shirt is torn from the back, then she has lied, and
he is of the truthful ".
م� ل�ي �ك ك� م� ك حي ك� ك�! ل"ا � ك� م� ل حي ك� ل# م$ �� ك ل"ا ك% ك'ا ر) م* م+ ل# ك� م' م$ ك, ل�ي ك' ذ- ك.ا ك/ ك��ا ك0 ك128. So when her husband saw his shirt torn from the
back, he said, "Indeed, it is of the women's plan. Indeed, your plan is great.
• “Indeed, your plan is great” - كيدكنعظيم
ك كنت من �يوسف أعرض عن هذا واستغفري لذنبك إن � الخاطئين
29. Joseph, ignore this. And, [my wife], ask forgiveness for your sin. Indeed, you were of the sinful."
وقال نسوة في المدينة امرأت العزيز تراود فتاها ا لنراها في ضالل مبين ا إن فسه قد شغفها حب �عن ن �
30 .And women in the city said, "The wife of al-'Azeez is seeking to seduce her slave boy; he has impassioned her
with love. Indeed, we see her [to be] in clear error ".
• The psychology of scandals
Psychology of Scandals
Scandal: A publicized incident that brings about disgrace or offends the moral sensibilities of society
Society indulges in controversies
Some get involved in intrigues unintentionally.
Sometimes, they are simply victims of poor judgment, indiscretion or lack of social skills.
Addiction to fame
How does this obsession with scandal affect the general public?
Media is a powerful teacher of values.
Show biz culture is characterized by sensuality, manipulation and, sadly at times, lack of morality.
If the values taught on media are garbage, then we are the
trash cans.
كأ فلما سمعت بمكرهن أرسلت إليهن وأعتدت لهن متينا وقالت اخرج عليهن فلما �وآتت كل واحدة منهن سك
ه ما هذا رأينه أكبرنه وقطعن أيديهن وقلن حاش للبشرا إن هذا إال ملك كريم
31. So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and prepared for them a banquet and gave each one of them a knife and said [to Joseph], "Come out before them." And when they saw him, they greatly admired him and cut their hands
and said, "Perfect is Allah! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel."
ه عن ني فيه ولقد راودت ذي لمتن �قالت فذلكن الم يفعل ما آمره فسه فاستعصم ولئن ل �ن
ليسجنن وليكونا من الصاغرين 32. She said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me. And I certainly sought to seduce him, but he firmly refused; and if he will not do what I order him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be of those debased."
• Comments on the gathering of the women• Insincerity of the woman’s “love”
The Women’s GatheringThe meeting:
Meeting of social elites of the time
They condemned the woman instead of the evil deed – typical mentality of scandal-mongerers
Shamelessness – open admittance of evil deed and desires
Similarities to our society:
“Progressive” thinking of today
Even parents encourage intermingling of sexes
We comdemn people but not evil deeds
We’re proud of our sins too
Gossip and scandal loving society
It was 4000 years ago, yet all the evil trends are the same! Why?Because Shaitan is the same!
Insincere Love
Love that is based only on pleasure or lust is quick to flare and quick to die.
NEVER sacrifice your self-respect to a claimant of such insincere love! See through it.
The only REAL love is love based on virtue or love for Allah’s sake
Love for Allah’s sake is simple to test: it’s for Allah’s sake if the time spent together is spent in useful speech or activity and brings you closer to Allah!
جن أحب إلي مما يدعونني إليه �قال رب السي كيدهن أصب إليهن وأكن من وإال تصرف عن
الجاهلين33. He said, "My Lord, prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. And if You do not avert from me their plan, I might incline toward them and
[thus] be of the ignorant."
• People call it “modern thinking” – Prophets call it “being of the ignorant”
ه هو ه فصرف عنه كيدهن إن �فاستجاب له ربميع العليم الس
34. So his Lord responded to him and averted from him their plan. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
ر ل3ي ذ4 5� ك ك3 م$ �� ك م� م� ح� كي ك� ل6 ك7ا آ8 ح: م�ا ا ك.ا ك/ ك#ا ل ح; ك* #� ل م>� ك� ك ا ك* ك�� م=35. Then it appeared to them after they had seen the signs that al-'Azeez should surely imprison him for a
time.
• Life is a prison for the believer
This Life is a Prison for a Momin
“The world is the believer’s prison and the disbeliever’s Paradise”(al-dunya sijn al-mu’min wa jannah al-kafir)(Muslim and Tirmidhi )
