CHAPTER 1
There once lived a young boy in the
land of Kan’an, who was both
extremely handsome and very intel-
ligent indeed. His name was Yusuf,
son of Ya‘qub [a]. Ya‘qub [a] was a
prophet of Allah, just like his father
before him, Is‘haq [a], and his uncle
Isma‘il [a], and their father too, the
noble Prophet Ibrahim [a]. Yusuf
was therefore very privileged to be
the son of a Prophet whose father
and grandfather too were Prophets
of Allah.
Like many of the Prophets of old,
Ya’qub [a] had four wives. They
bore him twelve sons, ten from the
first three and two from the fourth.
Yusuf and his younger brother,
Binyamin, were from the fourth of
the four wives. Her name was Rahil.
Read the following story and thoroughly
discuss the lessons to be learnt.
