Lessons from Surah Yusuf

Qur'an tafsir book on Surah Yusuf by Abu Ammaar Yasir Qadhi, explaining the surah's themes and lessons of patience, reliance on Allah and overcoming hardship. Paperback, for readers aged 16+.

Surah Yusuf, a chapter of the Qur'an (Koran), was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad at a critical point in his life. He had endured ten to eleven years of ridicule and rejection in Makkah, and had lost his wife and partner, Khadija, and his dear uncle Abu Talib. Allah revealed this surah to strengthen the Prophet's heart and remind him that he follows in the footsteps of the great prophets of the past, with Allah's help and support.

The surah is full of meaningful messages of patience, reliance on Allah and how to overcome hardship and betrayal. It was also educational, teaching the Prophet the answers to questions posed to him by the local Jews and Muslims. It also served as a timely morale booster for the Prophet and his companions in a time of need.

Yasir Qadhi has divided the surah into related themes, following the order of the revelations, so that the reader can easily understand and grasp the knowledge it conveys.
