             cleared. And Allah made this holy individual responsible for the
             Egyptian Treasury. This is described as follows in verses:
               He [the King] asked [the women]: "What was this past affair of
               yours when you solicited Joseph?" Then they said: "Allah

               forbid! We know no bad of him." The governor's wife then
               said: "The truth has now emerged. Indeed, I tried to seduce him
               then and he has simply told the honest truth." [Then Joseph
               said:] "In this way, he [the governor] may know at last that I did
               not dishonor him behind his back and that Allah most surely
               does not guide the deviousness of the dishonorable." (Surah
               Yusuf, 51-52)
               After his innocence became known, the Prophet Joseph (as)
             came to lead his people and assume power. Allah reveals thus in
             verses on the subject:
               He [Joseph] said: "Entrust the treasures of the land to me. In
               truth, I am a knowing guardian." And thus We established
               Joseph in the land so he could live in any place he pleased. We
               grant Our grace to anyone We will, and We do not allow to go to
               waste the wage of any people who do good. (Surah Yusuf, 55-56)

               The Messengers are not concerned with being exonerated in
             the eyes of others. It is enough for them that All-Knowing Allah
             knows what they are doing and what is in their hearts. But it is
             revealed in the Qur'an that the pangs of hell await those who
             make false accusations against the Messengers and believers:

               Those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware [of the
               evil], are cursed both in this world and the hereafter, and will
               have a terrible punishment on the Day when their tongues,
               hands, and feet will testify against them about what they were
               doing. On that Day, Allah will pay them in full what is due to
