вЂњIf his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars,вЂќ advised the cousin. So he consulted his wifeвЂ™s cousin for advice. He was confused and unsure of whom to believe. He continued to deny his mistressвЂ™s claim saying, вЂњIt was she who sought to seduce me.вЂќДЄl-Azeez was a fair man. Ashmed, she ran to him and cried, вЂњWhat is the recompense of the one who intended evil for your wife but that he be imprisoned or a painful punishment?вЂќ Yusuf was baffled. Zulaika chased after him in desperation and grabbed his shirt from the back which caused his shirt to rip. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed.вЂќ He turned away and run towards the closed door to escape. Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence. Yusuf, fearing Allah, replied, вЂњ refuge in Allah. One day, when her husband was away from home, she closed the doors and invited Yusuf to her. Her obsession heightened to a degree where she was desperate to fulfil her desire. Zulaika, Al-AzeezвЂ™s wife, who watched Yusuf day after day, began to feel passionately about him. During this period, Yusuf was confronted with his second trial. His honesty won the heart of Al-Azeez, who placed Yusuf in charge of his household. Yusuf not only grew up to be a handsome young man but was also blessed with exceptional knowledge and wisdom by Allah. He told his wife to take good care of Yusuf and they could either use him as slave or take him for a son. YusufвЂ™s new master, who had no children, was completely taken with Yusuf. Here, he was auctioned and sold as a slave to the highest bidder who happened to be the treasurer, Al-Azeez. The caravan peopleВ immediately shackled Yusuf and took him along to Egypt. The water drawer hauled up his bucket and was shocked to see the handsome boy clinging onto the rope. Soon, a caravan bound for Egypt stopped at this well to fetch water. Meanwhile, Yusuf managed to cling onto a stone ledge, he prayed fervently to Allah to grant him salvation. He remarked that the wolf was indeed merciful to have eaten his son up without tearing his shirt! He bore the bereavement with patience and prayed for his sonвЂ™s safe return. They cried, вЂњO our father, indeed we went racing with each other and left Yusuf with our possessions, and a wolf ate him.вЂќ YaqubвЂ™s was suspicious of their story, he in his heart believed his son was still alive and that the brothers were likely enticed by Shaitan (satan) to do evil. The brothers ran to their father carrying YusufвЂ™s shirt that was smeared with sheepвЂ™s blood. The brothers eventually outpowered Yusuf and threw him down the well and rushed back home. Yusuf began struggling and pleaded with them to let go. When they finally reached the well, on the pretext of drinking water they led him to it, grabbed him, and removed his shirt. They traveled far, in pursuit of a well deep enough to throw their brother in. The next day, Yusuf set off with his brothers. A very reluctant Yaqub said, вЂњIndeed, it saddens me that you should take him and I fear that a wolf would eat him while you are unaware.вЂќ But the brothers insisted that they would take extreme care of him and that they Yusuf would enjoy himself. So, one day they approached their father and suggested that he send Yusuf to come with them on an outing. Unable to handle their emotions they devised a plan to get rid of Yusuf by throwing him into a well. They envied Yusuf because they felt he was special and they were not. With the passage of time, the malice in the hearts of YusufвЂ™s brothers kept growing. He therefore warned Yusuf against relating his dream to his brothers, lest they plot for his downfall. However, Yaqub was concerned about his older sonsвЂ™ possible reaction to this narration, for even though he treated them the same, they harboured jealousy towards Yusuf. He ran to his father in excitement and said, вЂњO my father, indeed I have seen eleven stars and the sun and the moon I saw them prostrating to me.вЂќ Yaqub was overjoyed in realisation that his dear son was indeed chosen by Allah to be bestowed with Prophethood. Yusuf, still a young boy, awoke one glorious morning delighted by a pleasant dream he just had. Binyamin, who was youngest, was from the same mother as Yusuf, while the rest were older half-brothers. Yusuf (Joseph) was the beloved son of Prophet Yaqub (Jacob), who also had 11 other sons.
