The brothers of our prophet Yoosuf 'alayhis-salâm wanted to kill him
(but he didn't die)!!
Then they wanted to erase him from existence
(so his fame increased instead)!!
Then he was sold as a slave(and this made him become a king)!!
Then they wanted to erase his father's love for him (but it increased instead)!!
… So don't stress yourselves over the plots of man,
for Allah's will is above everyone's will!!
When Yoosuf 'alayhis-salâm was in prison, they all testified that he
was thebest of them: [Indeed, we see you of those who do good]
(Yoosuf: 36)
Yet Allah let them out before him!! Despite being distinguished in his
virtue, he still
[remained in prison severalyears] (Yoosuf: 42).
The first man came out to become a servant, the second came out to be
executed, and Yoosuf waited and waited for a long time…!!
But he came out to be the king of Egypt, to be reunited with his
parents, and to be as happy as he could be.
To all of us...whose dreams that have been delayed in their arrival:
"Go ahead, decorate yourself further, for we see you as a good omen –
like that of Yoosuf 'alayhis-salâm. "
To all the superb believers whose wishes have delayed for several
years more than everyone around them…
Relax…
You know that announcingwho took 1st place is always at the end of the
competition & that's when the celebrations begin! :)
If those around you have outraced you, then know that you will be
given in exchange what is beyond your wildest dreams!
Be sure that Allah never forgets, and that "Allah never allows to be
lost the reward of those who do good."
(Yoosuf: 90).
So be amongst them! :/- - -
