They are so small and weak while
we are strong, young men and we
are many more in number? This is
very strange indeed.
” They could
not understand that piety, good
character and a gentle, pure nature
are much more valuable to Allah
and his prophets than strength and
numbers. A single blessed child is
far greater than a thousand sturdy
men.
Yes indeed, Yusuf was blessed, but
he was still only a young and inno-
cent boy. He could not fully under-
stand what his loving father had
said and soon forgot his warning.
So one day, little Yusuf told his
brothers about his wonderful dream
and all that
Nabi
Ya’qub [a] had
said. The brothers were furious and
became even more jealous.
Nothing could contain their anger
now.
