They Read The Quran... Then Plot Against...

Sayed M. Jawad Qazwini
About this episode

In this episode of The Speaking Quran, we arrive at the profound conclusion of Prophet Yusuf's (AS) prayer. After achieving ultimate "Mulk" (authority) , he demonstrates the pinnacle of humility, recognizing all his knowledge and power as just a "fraction" of Allah's gift. He teaches us that true success is not defined by worldly status, but by your final words: "Take me as a Muslim (in full submission), and join me with the righteous".

We then explore the chilling connection Allah makes in the very next verses—reminding Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that he wasn't there when Yusuf's brothers plotted , precisely as the Quraysh were plotting against him in Mecca.

This episode is a powerful warning about how people can hear Allah's signs but ignore them , and how the vast majority, even if you wish for it, will not truly believe.

Join us as we uncover:

- The difference between "Milk" (ownership) and "Mulk" (authority).

- Prophet Yusuf's (AS) final prayer and the crucial importance of a good ending.

- How "chosen ones" like Prophet Yusuf (AS) and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) received knowledge directly from Allah, not from human institutions.

- The direct parallel between the plots against Yusuf (AS) and the plots against Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

- Why some people read the Quran today but still act like the plotters of the past.
