The Dark Clan
After acting out this wicked scenario, they came crying
to their father Ya'qub and insisted that they were telling the
truth, proving their acting skills (this type of role-playing for
the purpose of deceit is also common among clan members).
It is impossible for people of conscience to lie convincingly,
but the people used by the clan are capable of convincing
themselves of these lies so that they can act out the most dra-
matic scenarios with authentic conviction.
In the representation below, Yusuf's brothers are pictured showing his
bloodstained shirt to his father Ya'qub.
