The ‘Holy Plot’?! Yusuf’s Strategy Exposed
Manage episode 508633891 series 3660138
In Episode 35 of The Speaking Quran, we dive into Surah Yusuf (12:76–82) — the moment Yusuf (AS) executes a brilliant, lawful plan to keep Binyamin, and the brothers explode with the old accusation: “His brother stole before him!”
We unpack:
- Is strategic planning (even “plotting”) ever allowed in Islam?
- The ethical red line between wisdom and deceit — with insights from Imam ʿAlī (AS).
- The elder brother’s stand in Egypt and what true accountability and leadership look like.
- How Yusuf (AS) controls powerful emotions without breaking justice or mercy.
