Yūsuf (Joseph) | PROLOGUE He said: ‘Did I not say to you that I know from God something that you do not know?’ (Verse 96) My Lord, You have given me power and imparted to me some understanding of the real meaning of statements. (Verse <strong>10</strong>1) This is certainly a clear example of how harmony is maintained in this glorious book. • The sūrah also explains some of the attributes of Godhead, notably judgement. This occurs once quoting Joseph in the sense of people being subject to God and willingly obeying Him. It occurs again quoting Jacob in the sense of people’s involuntary submission to God’s will. The two aspects thus are mutually complementary in defining the concept of judgement and Godhead. There is no chance that this could have been mere coincidence. Joseph first states within the context of refuting the claims of Egypt’s rulers that they were deities, explaining that this runs against the concept of God’s oneness: “My two prison companions! Which is better: [to believe] in diverse lords, or to believe in God, the One who holds sway over all that exists? Those you worship instead of Him are nothing but names you and your fathers have invented, and for which God has given no sanction from on high. All judgement rests with God alone. He has ordained that you should worship none but Him. This is the true faith.” (Verses 39-40) Within the context of God’s will and that it will always be done with no force able to stop it, Jacob says: “My sons, do not enter [the city] by one gate, but enter by different gates. In no way can I be of help to you against God. judgement rests with none but God. In Him have I placed my trust, and in Him alone let all those who trust place their trust.” (Verse 67) The complementarity in the significance of judgement means that faith is not set on the right footing unless submission to God’s will in matters of judgement is equated with submission to His will in matters of fate. Both are aspects of faith. Voluntary submission is as much part of faith as submission to what is determined by God’s will, giving man no say in it. • We see another fine example when Joseph, wise, sagacious and astute as he is, chooses the most suitable of God’s attributes when he speaks of a situation that reflects God’s gracious handling of all affairs: “And he raised his parents to the highest place of honour, and they fell down on their knees, prostrating themselves before him. He said: ‘Father, this is the real meaning of my dream of long ago. My Lord has made it come true. He has been gracious to me, releasing me from prison, and 27
Yūsuf (Joseph) | PROLOGUE bringing you all from the desert after Satan had sown discord between me and my brothers. My Lord is gracious in whatever way He wishes. He is All-Knowing, truly Wise.’“ (Verse <strong>10</strong>0) • As we mentioned earlier, harmony is shown in the complementarity of the story’s introduction, the immediate comment after it has been told in full, and the final long comments that follow. All these confirm the same issues given at the beginning and at the end. 28
