"representing his brothers and the sun and the moon representing his parents prostrating to him. When he shared this dream with his father, Yaqub understood that Yusuf would achieve a high status in this world and the hereafter. He advised Yusuf to keep the dream secret to avoid his brother's envy. According to the people of the book, Yusuf shared his dream with both his father and brothers, which was a mistake."

"Ibn Jarir found this interpretation weak it is also said that Joseph met them and brought them to the tents and as they approached the gates of Egypt he said enter Egypt god-willing in security al-sudi mentioned this and it could also mean reside or stay in Egypt securely among the people of the book it is believed that when Jacob reached the land of Goshen Joseph came out to greet him Jacob had sent his son Judah ahead to announce his arrival they also believed that the king granted them the land of Goshen to live in with their possessions and livestock several interpreters mentioned that when Jacob's"

"Put their merchandise into their saddlebags so that they might recognize it when they return to their people, so that they might come back. Allah, the Exalted, tells us about the arrival of Joseph's brothers in Egypt, seeking food during the years of drought that had spread across the lands. At this time, Joseph was the ruler of both religious and worldly affairs in Egypt. When his brothers came before him, he recognized them, but they did not recognize him. They could not imagine the status and greatness Joseph had achieved."

"their own integrity and competence. According to the people of the book, Pharaoh held Yusuf in high esteem, granting him authority over all of Egypt, adorning him with his ring, clothing him in silk and gold chains, and carrying him in his secondary chariot. He announced before him, You are lord and leader, and said, I am not greater than you except by the throne. They said Yusuf was thirty years old at the time and married him to a noble woman of great standing. Athalibi narrated that Yusuf deposed Qitfir from his position and was appointed in his place. It is said that when Qitfir died, Yusuf married his wife Zuleikha, finding her a virgin, and she bore him two sons,"

"Thugariyah, Al-Dhiyah, and Al-Nur. The Jew confirmed, By God, those are their names. The story of Joseph and his brothers contains signs for those who ask. When they said, Joseph and his brother are more beloved to our father than we while we are a clan, they believed their father was in error. They plotted to kill Joseph or cast him out so their father's attention would be solely on them. However, one of them suggested, Do not kill Joseph but throw him into the bottom of the well. Some travelers will pick him up if you must do something. Allah highlights the lessons in this story, including the jealousy of Joseph's brothers due to"

"him while you are unaware of him. They insisted, If a wolf were to eat him while we are a group, then we would surely be losers. Their father was reluctant to part with Yusuf, fearing for his safety. However, they assured him that if anything happened to Yusuf while they were with him, they would be at fault. According to the people of the book, it is said that Yusuf's father sent him to follow his brothers, but he lost his way until a man guided him to them. However, Jacob, peace be upon him, was more cautious than to send Yusuf alone. When they took Yusuf and placed him at the bottom of the well, Allah revealed to him,"

"be upon him, said, the noble one, son of the noble one, son of the noble one, son of the noble one, Yusuf, son of Yaqub, son of Ishaq, son of Ibrahim. The commentators have said that Yusuf, while still young, saw in a dream 11 stars representing his brothers and the sun and the moon, representing his parents prostrating to him. Astonished by this, he related it to his father who realized that Yusuf would attain a high status in this world and the hereafter to the extent that even his parents and brothers would submit to him.

"Dreams are like visions; some are merciful, some are psychological, and some are from شَيْطَان. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Dreams are three types: a dream from اللّٰه, a distressing dream from شَيْطَان, and a dream from what a man speaks to himself about while awake, which he sees in his sleep." The type of dream that is a means of guidance is specifically the dream from اللّٰه."

"Almighty of this valley from the jinn, that I may not be harmed or attacked. I saw in my dream a young man watching my she-camel, holding a spear, intending to strike it in its neck. I woke up startled and looked to my right and left, but saw nothing. I thought this was a dream, then I went back to sleep. I saw in my dream something similar to my first vision. I woke up again and walked around my she-camel, but I saw nothing, and suddenly my she-camel began to tremble. I fell asleep again and saw something like that, and I woke up to find my she-camel shaking. I turned and saw a young man like the one I had seen in my dream,"
