WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:09.089 The story of Joseph, peace be upon him, with the wife of Al-Aziz 00:00:09.089 --> 00:00:11.470 Introduction 00:00:11.470 --> 00:00:15.140 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:19.140 May blessings and peace be upon the most honorable prophets and messengers 00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:21.140 Our Prophet Muhammad 00:00:21.140 --> 00:00:24.140 And upon all his family and companions 00:00:24.140 --> 00:00:26.210 And after 00:00:26.210 --> 00:00:28.210 The story of Joseph 00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:33.210 One of the best stories that God told us in the Holy Quran 00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:36.210 Which he said at the beginning 00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:42.210 We relate to you the best stories of what We have revealed to you in this Qur’an 00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:46.460 Al-Tahir bin Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said 00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:49.460 And make these stories the best stories 00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:54.460 Because some stories are not devoid of goodness that makes people feel comfortable 00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:57.460 The stories of the Qur’an are better than the stories of others 00:00:57.460 --> 00:01:00.460 On the one hand, it is well organized and miraculous in its style 00:01:00.460 --> 00:01:04.459 With the lessons and wisdom it contains 00:01:04.459 --> 00:01:06.459 All stories are in the Qur’an 00:01:06.459 --> 00:01:09.459 It is the best story in its section 00:01:09.459 --> 00:01:11.459 Every story is in the Qur’an 00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:16.459 It is better than anything that the storyteller tells in anything other than the Qur’an 00:01:16.459 --> 00:01:19.459 What is meant is not the best stories in the Qur’an 00:01:19.459 --> 00:01:23.459 So that the story of Joseph, peace be upon him 00:01:23.459 --> 00:01:26.459 Better than the rest of the stories in the Qur’an 00:01:26.459 --> 00:01:28.459 As indicated by what he said 00:01:28.459 --> 00:01:32.459 What We have revealed to you is this Qur’an 00:01:32.459 --> 00:01:35.459 And the B in it is what We have revealed to you 00:01:35.459 --> 00:01:39.459 Causation is related to deficiency 00:01:39.459 --> 00:01:43.459 The stories contained in the Qur’an were better 00:01:43.459 --> 00:01:46.459 Because it comes from the All-Knowing, the All-Wise 00:01:46.459 --> 00:01:51.459 He reveals what he knows is best for the listeners 00:01:51.459 --> 00:01:54.459 In the most creative words and structures 00:01:54.459 --> 00:01:57.459 From it he obtains nourishment for the mind and soul 00:01:57.459 --> 00:01:59.459 And delight the soul and taste 00:01:59.459 --> 00:02:03.459 Something the likes of which human minds cannot come up with 00:02:03.459 --> 00:02:07.560 The story of Joseph covered several scenes 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:11.560 Including what relates to Joseph and my father 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.560 Including what relates to Joseph and his brothers 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:19.560 Among them is what relates to Joseph and the wife of Al-Aziz 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.659 And in this series 00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:27.659 I will, God willing, discuss the scenes related to Joseph and the wife of Al-Aziz 00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:31.659 Which the Qur’an dealt with in three scenes 00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:36.689 The first is the deception of Al-Aziz’s wife to Joseph 00:02:36.689 --> 00:02:41.750 The second is the deception of Al-Aziz’s wife with the women of the city 00:02:41.750 --> 00:02:46.849 The third is the confession of Al-Aziz’s wife about her mistake 00:02:46.849 --> 00:02:50.849 The aim of reviewing the story of Joseph with the wife of the Aziz 00:02:50.849 --> 00:02:53.849 He took a lesson from its events 00:02:53.849 --> 00:02:56.849 And investing it in our contemporary life 00:02:56.849 --> 00:03:00.849 As God Almighty said at the end of the surah 00:03:00.849 --> 00:03:07.069 Their stories are a lesson for those with understanding 00:03:07.069 --> 00:03:17.069 It was not a fabricated hadith, but rather a confirmation of what was before him 00:03:17.069 --> 00:03:26.069 It gives you guidance and mercy for everything 00:03:26.069 --> 00:03:32.069 And guidance and mercy for people who believe 00:03:32.069 --> 00:03:37.990 Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said 00:03:37.990 --> 00:03:41.990 The Qur’an is neither history nor stories 00:03:41.990 --> 00:03:44.990 Rather, it is guidance and admonition 00:03:44.990 --> 00:03:48.990 He does not mention a story to indicate the date of its occurrence 00:03:48.990 --> 00:03:53.990 Not for the sake of understanding it or understanding its details 00:03:53.990 --> 00:03:57.990 He only mentions what he mentions for the sake of lesson 00:03:57.990 --> 00:04:03.990 As God Almighty said: Indeed, in their stories there is an example for those of understanding 00:04:03.990 --> 00:04:06.990 And a statement of the rules of the meeting 00:04:06.990 --> 00:04:10.990 As he said, traditions have passed before you 00:04:10.990 --> 00:04:16.990 So travel through the land and see what was the end of the deniers 00:04:16.990 --> 00:04:22.990 He said the Sunnah of God that had passed among His servants 00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:25.990 And other verses 00:04:25.990 --> 00:04:28.149 And take the lesson from the story 00:04:28.149 --> 00:04:33.149 It keeps us away from being preoccupied with details that God has not mentioned to us 00:04:33.149 --> 00:04:38.149 Because if we had a lesson in it, God would have told us about it 00:04:38.149 --> 00:04:42.220 Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said 00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:46.279 The previous incidents include what is known 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:51.279 And God Almighty remembers of this and that whatever He wishes to mention 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.279 For the sake of lesson and exhortation 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:59.279 He suffices with the story as a lesson and a point of interest 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:04.279 He does not present it in detail with its details, which do not add to the lesson 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:07.279 You might even be distracted by it 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.410 Writers write the story today 00:05:10.410 --> 00:05:14.410 It differs from the Qur’anic method of mentioning stories 00:05:14.410 --> 00:05:20.439 Writers may be keen to mention very small details in the story 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.439 In order to attract the reader 00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:27.540 But the Qur’an mentions the moral of the story 00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:33.540 In a great style that is unmatched by any writer or storyteller 00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:36.540 Abu Zahra, may God have mercy on him, said 00:05:36.540 --> 00:05:40.540 The stories of the Qur’an are intended to be a lesson and consideration 00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:45.540 Not narrating facts and entertaining people by narrating them and detailing them 00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:48.540 A lesson for those with understanding 00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:53.540 Therefore, the Noble Lord goes to the place of lesson and exalts it 00:05:53.540 --> 00:05:57.540 And to the place of insight, and he will show it 00:05:57.540 --> 00:05:59.540 And those are the straightest paths 00:05:59.540 --> 00:06:04.540 Education with history and education about the conditions of the past 00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:08.699 This is a lesson that the wise person considers 00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:12.699 In knowing the consequences of his actions or the actions of others 00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:15.699 So that he can correct the course of his life 00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:19.699 He advised other of his loved ones and friends 00:06:19.699 --> 00:06:22.699 Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said 00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:24.730 It was in their stories 00:06:24.730 --> 00:06:28.730 That is, the stories of the prophets and messengers with their people 00:06:28.730 --> 00:06:30.730 A lesson for those with understanding 00:06:30.730 --> 00:06:34.730 To be considered good people and evil people 00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:37.730 And whoever did the same as them 00:06:37.730 --> 00:06:41.730 He received the same dignity or humiliation as they had received 00:06:41.730 --> 00:06:43.730 They are also considered 00:06:43.730 --> 00:06:47.730 God has the attributes of perfection and great wisdom 00:06:47.730 --> 00:06:49.730 And He is God 00:06:49.730 --> 00:06:54.730 To Him alone no one should be worshiped, without any partner 00:06:54.730 --> 00:06:58.790 Muhammad Rashid Reda, may God have mercy on him, said 00:06:58.790 --> 00:07:02.790 Trying to make the stories of the Qur’an like history books 00:07:02.790 --> 00:07:07.790 By inserting what they see into it as a statement of it 00:07:07.790 --> 00:07:09.790 It is against his Sunnah 00:07:09.790 --> 00:07:12.790 He distracted hearts from his sermon 00:07:12.790 --> 00:07:15.790 And a waste of his purpose and wisdom 00:07:15.790 --> 00:07:18.790 We must understand what is in it 00:07:18.790 --> 00:07:22.790 We use our thoughts to extract lessons from it 00:07:22.790 --> 00:07:26.790 And remove our souls from his rebuke and ugliness 00:07:26.790 --> 00:07:30.790 We encourage her to do what he approves of and praises 00:07:30.790 --> 00:07:35.889 What are the lessons learned from Joseph’s story with Al-Aziz’s wife? 00:07:35.889 --> 00:07:41.920 This is what we will discuss, God willing, in the upcoming articles 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:47.009 The story of Joseph and the wife of Al-Aziz
