luxury and comfort. Was their such
a man in Egypt, a wise man who
was trustworthy?
Nabi
Yusuf [a] was an honest man,
and he had knowledge. It saddened
him to see those in charge ignoring
the suffering of the poor. He could
not bear to see people starve to
death.
Nabi
Yusuf [a] was not ashamed of
the truth even though it may have
angered some of those in charge.
He explained to king what would
happen if they were not removed
from their positions. He said coura-
geously, “
Put me in charge of the
store-houses of the land. I have
knowledge and I am trustworthy. I
will be able to see to the needs of
the poor when the drought eventu-
ally comes
.”
The King happily made

Yusuf
