understand what the dream meant.
He was, after all, a Prophet of Allah
and Yusuf knew that Allah had
given his father knowledge and
understanding of so many things.
Nabi
Ya‘qub [a] smiled so broadly
when he heard what the little boy
said that the teeth behind his lips
could be seen twinkling like little
stars. He was very happy about the
dream his beloved son had.
“
Allah has indeed blessed you, my
dear Yusuf,
”
Nabi
Ya‘qub [a]
replied. “
Something truly great is to
happen to you. This dream brings
the good news that you will be given
great knowledge and prophecy.
Allah blessed your grandfather,
ls’haq [a], and He blessed your
great-grandfather, Ibrahim [a]. And
so too will He bless you and make
you His Prophet to the people.
“
