Page 14 - The Prophet Yusuf (as)

When we examine the history of the prophets, we en-

counter one striking truth. The great majority of them were de-
scended from the same line. This is revealed in a number of verses in
the Qur’an:

As can be seen from this verse, the superior individuals who
were sent as prophets were specially chosen by Allah and called by
Him to the true path. It is of course an enormous honour to be se-
lected by Allah. The prophets are therefore very worthy individuals,
both because they were chosen by Allah and because of their fine up-
right natures.
