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
Introduction
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds
May blessings and peace be upon the most honorable prophets and messengers
Our Prophet Muhammad
And upon all his family and companions
And after
The story of Joseph
One of the best stories that God told us in the Holy Quran
Which he said at the beginning
We relate to you the best stories of what We have revealed to you in this Qur’an
Al-Tahir bin Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said
And make these stories the best stories
Because some stories are not devoid of goodness that makes people feel comfortable
The stories of the Qur’an are better than the stories of others
On the one hand, it is well organized and miraculous in its style
With the lessons and wisdom it contains
All stories are in the Qur’an
It is the best story in its section
Every story is in the Qur’an
It is better than anything that the storyteller tells in anything other than the Qur’an
What is meant is not the best stories in the Qur’an
So that the story of Joseph, peace be upon him
Better than the rest of the stories in the Qur’an
As indicated by what he said
What We have revealed to you is this Qur’an
And the B in it is what We have revealed to you
Causation is related to deficiency
The stories contained in the Qur’an were better
Because it comes from the All-Knowing, the All-Wise
He reveals what he knows is best for the listeners
In the most creative words and structures
From it he obtains nourishment for the mind and soul
And delight the soul and taste
Something the likes of which human minds cannot come up with
The story of Joseph covered several scenes
Including what relates to Joseph and my father
Including what relates to Joseph and his brothers
Among them is what relates to Joseph and the wife of Al-Aziz
And in this series
I will, God willing, discuss the scenes related to Joseph and the wife of Al-Aziz
Which the Qur’an dealt with in three scenes
The first is the deception of Al-Aziz’s wife to Joseph
The second is the deception of Al-Aziz’s wife with the women of the city
The third is the confession of Al-Aziz’s wife about her mistake
The aim of reviewing the story of Joseph with the wife of the Aziz
He took a lesson from its events
And investing it in our contemporary life
As God Almighty said at the end of the surah
Their stories are a lesson for those with understanding
It was not a fabricated hadith, but rather a confirmation of what was before him
It gives you guidance and mercy for everything
And guidance and mercy for people who believe
Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said
The Qur’an is neither history nor stories
Rather, it is guidance and admonition
He does not mention a story to indicate the date of its occurrence
Not for the sake of understanding it or understanding its details
He only mentions what he mentions for the sake of lesson
As God Almighty said: Indeed, in their stories there is an example for those of understanding
And a statement of the rules of the meeting
As he said, traditions have passed before you
So travel through the land and see what was the end of the deniers
He said the Sunnah of God that had passed among His servants
And other verses
And take the lesson from the story
It keeps us away from being preoccupied with details that God has not mentioned to us
Because if we had a lesson in it, God would have told us about it
Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said
The previous incidents include what is known
And God Almighty remembers of this and that whatever He wishes to mention
For the sake of lesson and exhortation
He suffices with the story as a lesson and a point of interest
He does not present it in detail with its details, which do not add to the lesson
You might even be distracted by it
Writers write the story today
It differs from the Qur’anic method of mentioning stories
Writers may be keen to mention very small details in the story
In order to attract the reader
But the Qur’an mentions the moral of the story
In a great style that is unmatched by any writer or storyteller
Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said
The stories of the Qur’an are intended to be a lesson and consideration
Not narrating facts and entertaining people by narrating them and detailing them
A lesson for those with understanding
Therefore, the Noble Lord goes to the place of lesson and exalts it
And to the place of insight, and he will show it
And those are the straightest paths
Education with history and education about the conditions of the past
This is a lesson that the wise person considers
In knowing the consequences of his actions or the actions of others
So that he can correct the course of his life
He advised other of his loved ones and friends
Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said
It was in their stories
That is, the stories of the prophets and messengers with their people
A lesson for those with understanding
To be considered good people and evil people
And whoever did the same as them
He received the same dignity or humiliation as they had received
They are also considered
God has the attributes of perfection and great wisdom
And He is God
To Him alone no one should be worshiped, without any partner
Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said
Trying to make the stories of the Qur’an like history books
By inserting what they see into it as a statement of it
It is against his Sunnah
He distracted hearts from his sermon
And a waste of his purpose and wisdom
We must understand what is in it
We use our thoughts to extract lessons from it
And remove our souls from his rebuke and ugliness
We encourage her to do what he approves of and praises
