When They Mock You but God Has Other Pla...

Sayed M. Jawad Qazwini
About this episode

In Episode 38 of The Speaking Quran, we explore verses 88–90 of Surah Yusuf, where Prophet Yusuf (a) meets his brothers again — the same brothers who once betrayed him.

This powerful segment unpacks the meaning of real honor (al-ʿizzah) — the kind that no one can take away.

What does it mean when Allah says:

“To Allah belongs all honor — to Him, His Messenger, and the believers.”

We live in an age obsessed with status, followers, and fame. Yet Surah Yusuf reminds us that divine honor isn’t earned by people — it’s bestowed by God.

Join us as we uncover:

  • The difference between worldly dignity and divine honor
  • How Allah raises those who stay patient through humiliation
  • Why Yusuf’s forgiveness defines the highest form of strength
  • How this story mirrors our modern struggles with ego, image, and recognition
