The Meaning of the King's Religion in the Story of Yusuf (peace be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the religion of the king mentioned in the Noble Qur'an? And are systems a religion?
Answer:
The king's religion, in the time of Yusuf (peace be upon him), was that the king was a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah); he was a disbeliever. The king in his time was a disbeliever. So Yusuf (peace be upon him) devised a lawful stratagem to take his brother from him, not according to the king's religion, but rather by a lawful stratagem. He did not take him by virtue of the king's religion or the king's system. Yes.
