Verses 1-6
The Quran was brought down by the most honourable angel to which mankind? (I'm asking about a characteristic here.)
The best of Mankind
Why did Yusuf (A) brother believe they should be loved more than Yusuf (A) and Bin Yamin?
Because they were bigger and stronger
What was the lie the brother told Yaqub (A) to convince him to let Yusuf (A) go with them?
Let Yusuf (A) come with us to play, enjoy, and be happy.
If a wolf were to devour him, despite our strong group, then we would certainly be losers!
How was Yusuf (A) found?
by a man fetching water from the well who was on a travelling cravan
Why should we not ask people of the book anything? Bonus: What did Musa (A) say about who he would follow
Because what is right you may deny and what is false you may believe it
did they ever plot to kill Yusuf (A)
Yes, the original plan was to kill him
Bonus: who changed their mind by saying what
What does فَصَبْرٌۭ جَمِيلٌۭ mean?
Bonus: how does this relate to Yaqub (A)
It's a beautiful kind of patience, free of any complaints, panic, or anger against Allah's decree.
Yaqub (A) relied on Allah completely during extreme emotional pain. He didn't react with revenge; he turned to Allah for support
How many dirhams was he sold for?
just a few.
Yaqub (A) had 12 male children, all older than Yusuf (A) but why did Allah choose him?
He was the most noble and honoured
1. Mujahid ibn Jabr (highest rank in Tafsir)
2. Qatada ibn Di'ama (top rank in memory/tafseer)
3. Ibn Ishaq (Top Rank in Sirah/History)
4. Al-Suddi Isma'il ibn Abd al-Rahman
What is the discrepancy about letting Yusuf (A) go with his brothers between the Quran and the Bible?
Yaqub (A) sent Yusuf (A) to follow his brothers, but he got lost so a man showed him to his brothers
If Yaqub (A) did not want to send Him with his brother, why would he tell Yusuf (A) to follow him alone
What did the minister's wife say when her husband noticed what was going on in their room? What did he do about it?
She blamed Yusuf (A) and said, " Is there no punishment for someone who intends evil towards your wife but imprisonment or chastisement?"
He knew she lied and told her to repent but told Yusuf (A) to leave it to save face.
Why is there a controversy that Yusuf (A)'s brothers are also prophets?
In Surah Al-Imran, verse 84, the word ٱلْأَسْبَاطِ is argued for all his brothers, but it just means tribe or descendants. None of his brothers were actually mentioned by name except Yusuf (A)
How did the brother rationalize killing or casting Yusuf (A) into a land he may never return from?
they will repent for their action later
What did they tell their father about why Yusuf (A) didn't come back with them? why did Yaqub (A) not fall for it
that a wolf had eaten him. The lie was not proper because when they dipped his shirt in fake blood, they forgot to shred the shirt, so it didn't even look like an animal had attacked him
Did his brother take him out of the well and sell him when they saw the passing caravan, or did they notice a caravan take him out of the well and then sell him?
They notice a caravan take him out of the well and then sell him
What are 3 things Allah (SWT) promise Yusuf (A)?
1. He will understand and interpret dreams
2. He will receive revelation
3. His family will have goodness in this world and in the hereafter because of him
In verse 4 the word "Sajidin" refers to the moon and stars prostrating to Yusuf (A), isn't prostration just for Allah? Why would anything prostrate to Yusuf (A)
Here its specifically refers to Yusuf's (A) high status, wisdom, and future honour. Not him being worshipped. The word "Sajdah" has not been used
How did the brother emotionally manipulate their father?
We promised you he wouldn’t get eaten because we are big and string and you called us goodonce but now we couldn't keep this promise you’ll think we’re liars
Why will Yusuf (A) be shaded on the DOJ
In a hadith, it is mentioned that he is one of those who was seduced by a woman's beauty and status, but said, "I fear Allah."
Bonus: for saying hadith Al-Bukhari 660 and Muslim 1031
