The rise of a Slave
• Hazrat Yousaf (A.S) being taken to Egypt and sold to Potiphar, a prominent Egyptian official
• Hazrat Yousaf (A.S) displaying his exceptional qualities and earning the trust of Potiphar
• The false accusation of Potiphar's wife against Hazrat Yousaf (A.S) and his subsequent imprisonment
Hazrat Yousaf's cries echoed through the darkness of the well until a caravan passing by heard his pleas for help. They pulled him out and, recognizing his worth, sold him as a slave to a wealthy Egyptian noble named Aziz (Potiphar).
Hazrat Yousaf serves Aziz faithfully, but unfortunately, Aziz's wife attempts to seduce him.
Hazrat Yousaf remains steadfast in his faith and refuses her advances, leading to false accusations and his subsequent imprisonment.
During his time in prison, Hazrat Yousaf encounters two fellow prisoners who have dreams that they seek interpretation for. Drawing upon his God-given gift of dream interpretation, Hazrat Yousaf accurately interprets their dreams, with one prisoner being released and the other being executed, just as Hazrat Yousaf predicted.
Years later, the king of Egypt, Pharaoh, begins to experience troubling dreams that none of his advisors can interpret. Hearing of Hazrat Yousaf's reputation for dream interpretation, Pharaoh summons him. Hazrat Yousaf correctly interprets Pharaoh's dreams, predicting a severe drought that will afflict Egypt for seven years. Impressed by his wisdom, Pharaoh appoints Hazrat Yousaf as his advisor and entrusts him with managing the country's food supplies during the impending famine.
As the famine spreads, Hazrat Yousaf's brothers come to Egypt seeking food assistance, unaware of his true identity. Hazrat Yousaf recognizes them and tests their sincerity before eventually revealing himself to them. Overwhelmed with guilt and remorse, the brothers repent and seek forgiveness. Hazrat Yousaf forgives them wholeheartedly, highlighting the power of compassion and forgiveness.
