I give you the example of use of alehissalaam imagine his brothers planned to kill him then
they planned they said okay that's very bad but with a plan to banish him they threw him into
the well left for the dead what happened years later they were shocked to see what Allah did
with him years later they were shocked to see what Allah did with him and they had no clue
who they were talking to he was the man he was in power at the time and his brothers come and
they are complaining you know this happened to someone that happened to another brother
and this is what happened in our father is now blind and whatnot and so many other complaints
and he just asked him one question Carla held him to my father to be you so far he is tom ja hello
look at to his brothers without them knowing who he was do you know what you did to Joseph and his
brother when the ignorant they were shocked because nobody knew Yusuf you actually know
that there was a brother of ours called Yusuf and you're actually asking us do you know what
you did when you were ignorant so he is finding an excuse for them subhanAllah he is finding an
excuse for his brothers by saying don't worry you when you were ignorant now we hope you are
no longer ignorant imagine someone swore you and and then later on you tell them do you know what
you said when you were ignorant well trust that person in today's world you might say what you
calling me ignorant I'll fix you up it's not very long may Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala guide us but
amazingly they looked at him and they immediately knew that all there is something about this man
because nobody knew about use of just us nobody else so they looked at him and they said in color
and tell you so foo is it possible that you are Yusuf can it be that you are that Yusuf so he
looks at them immediately he says and I use of or had he called them man naina amazing we have
so much to learn from that sentence he says I am Yusuf this is my brother and guess what Allah has
served with us so much Wow if it was me or maybe if it was one of you in that place or position on
that occasion I am Yusuf now watch what I'm going to do to you am i right that's what a
lot of us would do may Allah forgive us but he says and he's not even talking about what they
did he's not worrying you Salahi what people they have done to you does not disturb what Allah will
provide for you so use of a lady Salim says I am Yusuf this is my brother Allah has favoured
us but man Allahu Elena Allah has favoured us with so much of favor and then you know what he
says in whom I had that me why ask me for in a gentleman in the same two words that were used
in the verse of forgiving people the same two words that were used in the verse of forgiving
people taqwa and a son when Allah says this man is now saying to his brothers whoever has taqwa
whoever is conscious of Allah and whoever is patient restrains himself Allah will never ever
throw away or waste the reward of those who do good remember the word doing good was used when
Allah says you've forgiven someone you've done good you are from amongst the good doers the
mass Amin and Allah says you restrain yourself you are from amongst the muttaqeen you're conscious of
Allah so these are the same words all three words in fact have been used in the verse where Allah
speaks about forgiving so what happened these people had consciousness of Allah they were
patient for 40 years or more and Allah says they were good doers and thereafter Allah Subhanahu
WA Ta'ala says something very amazing he tells us the words of Yusuf alayhi salaatu wa salaam
Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala says the brothers said the law helical thought I can love you
14 indeed Allah has favoured you above us Allah has preferred you over us tharok allahu allah 'no
we tried to block you to stop you we didn't want you to have a relationship with your father as a
result you had a relationship with allah imagine preventing someone from their father from their
mother from their brothers and sisters it happens normally after a divorce where one party prevents
the child from the other party for whatever the reason is and after years on end things resolve
themselves the story of Yusuf Ali is Salam they said we prevented you from our father Subhan Allah
they are saying now laka de etheric allahu allah nur as a result of your patience as a result of
your supper as a result of your God consciousness Allah has preferred you over us and you know what
we were wrong well in Kuna la Jara in allah does not say they asked for forgiveness they only
admitted this we were wrong in Canela cotton he was so noble this man he did not wait for them to
say please forgive us please please forgive us we were wrong please please and so on they would have
said please a hundred times a thousand times they would have said it forever and ever because this
was the man he was the leader the ruler he was providing food for them subhanAllah and you know
what he just says Latta three-barrel a Kumu leo Yahoo la allakum hammer wah he mean and he changed
the topic he says no retribution against you today Allah will forgive you he is our hammer ah he mean
he is most forgiving most merciful Allah will forgive you no retribution upon you today now
take my shirt and go to the father topic changed the topic became the [ __ ] he quickly sorted
the matter out between his brothers it did not take him five seconds with us 50 years we still
haven't forgiven our brothers our sisters if Allah mentioned this in the Quran I promise you when
you can forgive your brothers and sisters Allah will mention you with the Angels I promise you
subhanAllah it's something big it requires a big heart so starts broadening your heart
your chest expanding subhanAllah you need to have a broad chest you
need to have a great heart you need to develop these qualities
