THE BROTHERS PROVIDE
FALSE EVIDENCE
Prophet Yusuf’s brothers were, in fact, perfectly well aware
that they were not in the least bit credible. That was why they pro-
duced false evidence, they were hoping that it might make them seem
more convincing. They covered Yusuf’s shirt in blood and took it to
their father, trying to give the impression that he was actually dead.
This incident is an indication that those who lay traps for
Muslims are also capable of producing falsified evidence in further-
ance of their conspiracies. In the light of the need to be aware of and
prepared for such methods, it is essential to examine the proposed
"evidence" very carefully since Allah has stipulated:

However, Prophet Ya’qub (as) very definitely refused to be-
lieve them, realised what they were up to and clearly stated that it was
all a lie which they had prepared:
