In this episode of The Speaking Qur’an (Ep. 37), we explore verse 87 of Surah Yusuf — a verse that teaches us never to lose hope in Allah.
Prophet Ya‘qub (a) tells his sons: “Do not despair of Allah’s mercy. Only disbelievers despair of Allah’s mercy.”
We reflect on:
- Why prophets like Ya‘qub (a), Yusuf (a), and Muhammad ﷺ endured betrayal, hardship, and near despair.
- The Qur’an’s promise: aid comes at the very moment we feel like giving up.
- The symbolic link between Prophet Yusuf (a) and Imam al-Mahdi (aj) — both unseen, both awaited, both bringing relief after long injustice.
- What this means for today’s world: in a time of global crisis, injustice, and despair, how do we hold onto hope?
🌍 The Qur’an reminds us: Never give up. The world awaits a savior.
