In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The story of Joseph, peace be upon him, with the wife of Al-Aziz
Racing to the door is a way to escape from temptation
Joseph, peace be upon him, was not satisfied with theoretical talk to ward off the temptation of the wife of the Mighty One
Which is one of the highest forms of women's temptation for men
Rather, he was quick to push it with a practical solution
So he hastened to leave the site of strife
God Almighty said
He waited for the door and took off his shirt from behind
This is a lesson for every young man and woman
To practically stay away from places of temptation
And not to be satisfied with theoretical talk in the face of temptation
Rather, they should not rely on their faith and good deeds
While remaining in places of temptation
Joseph, peace be upon him, is one of the prophets
He did not rely on that and he is who he is
Rather, he hastened to escape from the certainty of temptation
The work that Joseph, peace be upon him, did
It is the same work that the dear woman did
Which is the competition to the door
But the intention of this haste is different between them
Joseph, peace be upon him, preceded the wife of the Mighty One to the door
Escaping from the site of temptation that invites him to it
Al-Aziz’s wife preceded Joseph, peace be upon him, to the door
To prevent him from escaping from the site of sedition
To prevent him from leaving, force was even used to prevent him from doing so, until this force led to Joseph’s shirt being torn, and this is an important benefit for every young man and woman, which is that at the moment they escape from places of temptation, there are those who pursue them in every way to bring them down and prevent them from escaping.
He will never hesitate to use all his power to lure young men and women into temptation and immorality, so the level of escape from places of temptation should be higher than the force of attraction used by those with lusts.
Joseph's shirt was torn from the force of the dear woman's attraction to him on the one hand, and from the force of Joseph, peace be upon him, moving away from her on the other hand, so the tear was in the clothes.
You, young men and women, may suffer some material damage to some of your property when you escape from contemporary temptations to protect your religion, so do not pay attention to it and do not be sad about it, for perhaps salvation will be due to what we were harmed by on the surface.
The strength required today from young men and women in the face of contemporary temptations woven by lustful people today is not physical strength, but rather it is the strength of faith on the rock of which all the waves of temptation that seek to destroy young men and women break.
The strength of faith begins with holding fast to the strong rope of God, which is the Great Qur’an, by acting on what is in it and transforming it into a way of life upon which the life of a young man and a girl is based, whether young or old.
He took a lesson from the stories of the prophets and predecessors in knowing how to confront the people of falsehood with argument and proof.
Then follow the example of the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in compliance with the words of God Almighty
You have in the Messenger of God a good example for those who hope in God and the Hereafter and remember God often
By studying his biography and knowing his guidance to us in such circumstances and tribulations.
Then study the lives of the righteous throughout the previous centuries, including scholars, preachers, and reformers, to fix the heart on the truth, God Almighty said
We will narrate to you the news of the Messengers with which to strengthen your heart, and this truth will come to you and it will be an admonition and a reminder for the believers.
If the stories of the prophets confirm the heart of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, then we are in greater need of them.
Then know the ways of criminals and their means of seducing young men and women in order to repel them and warn against them.
Obtaining the strength of faith with which a young man can protect himself and a girl can protect herself from falling into temptation is a duty for both of them
So that it will be easier for them to anticipate the doors of salvation from temptations.
We will continue the rest of the discussion in an upcoming meeting, God willing
