PROPHET YUSUF (AS)
































                        Many verses in the Qur'an speak of the Prophet Ibrahim
                        (as), the Prophet Ya'qub (as) and the Prophet Yusuf (as).
                        Sura 14 bears the name 'Ibrahim,' and Sura 12 "Yusuf."

                          Prophet Ibrahim (as) handed his beliefs on to his sons, a
                 process that was repeated by his grandson Ya’qub (as). Allah describes

                 this in the Qur’an:
