In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The story of Joseph, peace be upon him
With my dear woman
False love does not prevent harming the beloved
The women of Medina described the condition of Al-Aziz’s wife with Joseph, peace be upon him, by saying:
She was passionate about love
That is, love reached the depths of her heart
Is this love real or is it fake love?
Every love between two people has a foundation on which it rests
If this foundation upon which love is built is strong and solid
The love between them continued
Even if it is fragile and weak
They soon disagree and this false love falls apart
The greatest foundation upon which love is built
What was included in the pleasure of God Almighty
Whoever loves a woman for her religion
He asked for it according to what God made permissible for him for that reason
His love is based on a solid foundation
He will see the fruit of that in this world and the hereafter
As for love based on a forbidden basis
Soon this love collapses and its falsity is revealed
From which two types did the dear woman’s love for Joseph, peace be upon him, arise?
We find the answer to this question
In the details of the story of Al-Aziz’s wife with Joseph, peace be upon him
The first one
This love occurred from a married woman to a man who was a stranger to her
This is forbidden
For a married woman to love someone other than her husband
She leans toward him with her mind and soul
The second one
This love was built on the foundation of the beauty of Joseph, peace be upon him
He was the one who fascinated her and the women with her
And not on the basis of his religion and chastity
Rather, she wanted him to disobey his Lord
The third one
This love was intended for forbidden physical enjoyment only
Not legal chastity
This is false love
False love does not prevent harming the beloved
If what is required of him is not achieved
This is what happened from Al-Aziz’s wife to Joseph, peace be upon him
She is with her passion for him
When Joseph, peace be upon him, fled from it
She saw her master at the door
She blamed the beloved
She incited Al-Aziz to impose the punishment on him
And she said
There is no recompense for anyone who intends harm for your family except imprisonment or a painful punishment
She cannot sacrifice herself for her beloved
Whose love touched her heart
Because her love is false love
And when Joseph refused to obey her
After repeating the request and trying it
And the women of the city entered with her in the courtship
She threatened him with imprisonment if he did not do so
And she said
She told him about himself, so he remained steadfast
If he does not do what I command him, he will be imprisoned and he will be one of the lowly
Imprisonment is a harm to the beloved
But it is false love based on the pleasure of the mortal body
And when he stood his ground after the threat
I ordered him imprisoned
She carried out her threat
Then, after they saw the signs, he appeared to them to imprison him for a while
This abuse was imprisonment
Because he did not respond to her and the woman of the palace
This is how most palaces are at all times and places
Tends to forbidden passion
And indulge in forbidden desires
She seeks to spread it among the women of the city
Whoever opposes that
His fate is imprisonment, torture, or death
How many scholars, preachers and reformers
I go to prison for opposing these unjust palaces
The order came to imprison Yousef
For the benefit of the palace woman
The news had spread in the city
It became the talk of the people
It was necessary for the dear of Egypt
To make a decision to silence the voices that speak against him and his wife
It deceives people that the wrongdoer has received his punishment
So the decision was made
Yusuf, peace be upon him, was imprisoned
It is a recurring story across time
Palaces cover up their crimes by imprisoning innocent people
And press charges against them
With her complete conviction that they are innocent
Thus was the decision to imprison Joseph, peace be upon him
He came after his innocence became clear to the people of the palace
Dear Egypt
And to those who witnessed the incident in the palace
But it's false love
Which makes the loved one the victim
Knowing his innocence
The decision to imprison Yousef is open-ended
His time is not known
Because it is based on the whims of the palace woman
It is not necessary to judge with justice
Dear scholars,
And reformist preachers in the city
Do not be fooled by the false love of the palace woman
It is based on achieving her personal interests
Do not be deceived by the praise of dear Egypt
He has no personality in front of his commanding, controlling woman
And do not be like those who said
I ate the day the black bull was eaten
There's nothing left to talk about
We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing
