Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: In Surat Yusuf, the words of Allah the Exalted appear:[Yusuf 12:24] What is meant by the proof of his Lord that Yusuf (peace be upon him) saw?
Answer:
The proof of his Lord is faith; the faith that Allah placed in his heart prevented him from committing the sin, prevented him from committing the sin.[Yusuf 12:23] So Allah protected him because of this.
Because he was sincere to Allah the Mighty and Majestic in times of ease, and whoever is sincere to Allah and knows Him in times of ease, Allah will know him in times of hardship. Know Allah in times of ease, and He will know you in times of hardship. So when Yusuf (peace be upon him) was always with his Lord the Mighty and Majestic, always with his Lord the Mighty and Majestic in obedience to Him, when he fell into hardship, Allah saved him from it. And He prevented him from falling into it, because man is human; were it not for the protection of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), man is human, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) protects His believing servants because of their faith.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: In Surat Yusuf, the words of Allah the Exalted appear:
And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord
وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَا أَن رَّأَىٰ بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهِAnswer:
The proof of his Lord is faith; the faith that Allah placed in his heart prevented him from committing the sin, prevented him from committing the sin.
He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah. Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed."
قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ رَبِّي أَحْسَنَ مَثْوَايَ إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَBecause he was sincere to Allah the Mighty and Majestic in times of ease, and whoever is sincere to Allah and knows Him in times of ease, Allah will know him in times of hardship. Know Allah in times of ease, and He will know you in times of hardship. So when Yusuf (peace be upon him) was always with his Lord the Mighty and Majestic, always with his Lord the Mighty and Majestic in obedience to Him, when he fell into hardship, Allah saved him from it. And He prevented him from falling into it, because man is human; were it not for the protection of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), man is human, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) protects His believing servants because of their faith.
