One of my favorite Quranic chapters is the chapter of Prophet Yusuf/ Joseph. It kinda soothes my heart every time I listen to it. Prophet Mohamed PBUH also stated that whoever is going through grief and sadness and listens to Surat Yusuf recitation will be uplifted. A story that is full of ups and downs. A story that started with plot, sorrow, hurt, and agony and ended with hope and reconciliation. Prophet Yusuf was a person who was blessed with handsomeness, loved by his beloveds, and had transcendent authority but was plagued with envy and jealousness from within his brothers.
Well, let’s remember that we can't blame people for their God-given gifts and talents, but we should blame our hearts for envying them.
And look at how Prophet Yusuf never managed to retaliate or say something back even though he heard their lies and slurs. And let’s remember how he forgave them all! He forgave and moved on!
This is the true art of forgiveness, the art of rising above your enemies or frenemies or hypocrites.
Let's remember that plotting against those who are brighter than us only makes them more brighter and makes us shallower.
