When Yusuf (A.S.) Almost Slipped

Sayed M. Jawad Qazwini
About this episode

In Episode 17 of The Speaking Quran, we delve into one of the most emotionally intense and spiritually profound verses of Surah Yusuf — verse 24. This moment captures Prophet Yusuf (A.S.) at a point of extreme vulnerability, when seduction, desire, and resistance collide. What does Allah teach us here about temptation, judgment, and divine support?

We explore the verse “وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَا أَن رَّأَىٰ بُرْهَـٰنَ رَبِّهِ” in depth, discussing its powerful lessons about human struggle, the nature of sin, the meaning of being a true ‘abd of Allah, and how Allah protects His chosen servants during their darkest tests.

📌 New episodes from The Speaking Quran every Friday and Monday!
