Chapter 5.07 - Yusuf & Yaqoub PBUT

  

  

Although prison is a place where human freedom is non-existent, this has not prevented Yusuf pbuh from carrying out his mission. What’s that mission? And where do you find that in this great surah? What lesson do we benefit from it? مع أن السجن مكان تصادر فيه حرية الإنسان إلا أن ذلك لم يمنع يوسف-عليه السلام- من القيام بمهمته السامية. ما تلك المهمة؟ وأين تجدها في تلك السورة العظيمة؟ وما الدرس المستفاد من ذلك؟

  1. Yusuf pbuh’s mission was to invite people to worship Allah alone, who has no partner.
  2. In his conversation with his companions in prison, he began this call by saying:
    “This ˹knowledge˺ is from what my Lord has taught me. I have shunned the faith of a people who disbelieve in Allah and deny the Hereafter.”
    He first began by stating that his interpretation of dreams (visions) was Allah’s virtue over him and His teaching.
  3. He showed them that his faith was that of the descendants of the prophets Ibrahim (Abraham ), Ishaq (Isaac), Yaqoub, (Yaqoub), and those who embraced this faith were blessed by the virtue of Allah.

    4. (I follow the faith of my fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Yaqoub. It is not ˹right˺ for us to associate anything with Allah ˹in worship˺. This is part of Allah’s grace upon us and humanity, but most people are not grateful.)

  4. Then he showed them the difference between the worship of one Lord with no partner, each creature is under His authority, while the other idols are not true gods, but people have called them gods.

    5. (O my fellow-prisoners! Which is far better: many different lords or Allah—the One, the Supreme? Whatever ˹idols˺ you worship instead of Him are mere names which you and your forefathers have made up—a practice Allah has never authorized)

  5. The lesson learned is that a Muslim should call to Allah and convey Allah’s message wherever he is; in distress, hardship or ease, this is the task of the prophets and missionaries that man is honored to carry.
    6. (I have shunned the faith of a people who disbelieve in Allah and deny the Hereafter. I follow the faith of my fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Yaqoub. It is not ˹right˺ for us to associate anything with Allah ˹in worship˺. This is part of Allah’s grace upon us and humanity, but most people are not grateful. O my fellow-prisoners! Which is far better: many different lords or Allah—the One, the Supreme? Whatever ˹idols˺ you worship instead of Him are mere names which you and your forefathers have made up1—a practice Allah has never authorized. It is only Allah Who decides. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the upright faith, but most people do not know.) Yusuf 12 : 37-40

 

  1. المهمة التي قام بها يوسف هي دعوة الناس إلى عبادة الله وحده لا شريك له.
  2. تجد تلك المهمة في حديثه مع صاحبيه في السجن، فبدأ تلك الدعوة بقوله فيما أخبر الله:

    3. “ذَلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِي رَبِّي إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَهُمْ بِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ”
    فبدأ أولاً ببيان أن تعبيره للرؤى من فضل الله عليه وتعليمه إياه.

  3. بين لهم أن عقيدته التي يعتنقها هي عقيدة سلالة الأنبياء(إبراهيم) (إسحاق) (يعقوب)، ومن اعتنق هذه العقيدة فقد أصابه فضل الله-عز وجل-.

    4. “وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ آبَائِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ مَا كَانَ لَنَا أَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ذَلِكَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ”

  4. ثم بين لهم الفرق بين عبادة رب واحد لا شريك له، كل مخلوق فهو تحت قهره وسلطانه، أما الآلهة الأخرى فليست آلهة حقيقية، إنما قد سماها أصحابها آلهة.

    5. “يَا صَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ ءَأَرْبَابٌ مُتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ. مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ”.

  5. الدرس المستفاد من ذلك: أن المسلم يدعو إلى الله ويبلغ رسالة الله حيثما كان، في ضيقٍ أو سعة، أو عسر أو يسر فتلك هي مهمة الأنبياء والمرسلين يتشرف الإنسان بحملها.
    6. ( إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّـهِ وَهُم بِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ كَافِرُونَ ﴿﴾وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ آبَائِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۚ مَا كَانَ لَنَا أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِاللَّـهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّـهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿﴾ يَا صَاحِبَيِ السِّجْنِ أَأَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ اللَّـهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ ﴿﴾ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلَّا أَسْمَاءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَا أَنتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُم مَّا أَنزَلَ اللَّـهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَانٍ ۚ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّـهِ ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿﴾)

    يوسف 12: 37 – 40
