Prophet Yusuf's Dream Comes True (as)

ily had all taken place as part of Allah s plan. This is the kind of exem-
plary understanding and speech that a believer should adopt.
Another characteristic of Prophet Yusuf (as) that is note-

worthy here is the way in which he saw the positive side of everything
and interpreted everything in a favourable manner. For example, he
said that Allah had done him a kindness and freed him from the dun-

geon. This is very literally the kind of attitude befitting a believer, and
proof that he looked at things with a positive and optimistic expecta-
tion. Prophet Yusuf (as) thus made it clear that he was on the side of

Allah and avoided any kind of speech or behaviour that was negative
or unappreciative of anything Allah creates. The fact that he said, " "My
Lord is kind to anyone He wills. He is indeed All-Knowing and All-
Wise" is a demonstration of this. In this way, Prophet Yusuf (as) sets

an example to all of the faithful.

THE SINCERE PRAYER OF

PROPHET YUSUF (as)

Throughout this book we have discussed how exceedingly
devoted to Allah Prophet Yusuf (as) was, how well protected he was by
Him, and how often he called upon and gave thanks to Him. This can

be seen in the following verse in which Allah inspires him with the fol-
lowing words:
