A Masterclass in Sabr & Taqwa

Sayed M. Jawad Qazwini
About this episode

In this episode we unpack Qur’an 12:90 — the moment Prophet Yūsuf (a.s.) reveals himself to his brothers. What does this verse teach about sabr (patience), taqwā (God-conscious restraint), confronting wrongdoing, and resisting the urge to shame others when you hold power?

We explore:

• Why Yusuf begins with advice, not blame

• “Allah does not forget” — what divine remembrance means for the oppressed

• The ethics of confrontation when you could retaliate

• A reflection on Zuleikha’s repentance and the transformation from infatuation to faith

• Practical takeaways: how to act with dignity, even when wronged
