Yusuf's life reads like a story engineered to break a person: thrown into a well by his own brothers, sold as a slave in Egypt, framed by his master's wife after refusing her advances, and left in prison for years by a man who forgot to mention him. At every stage he chose Allah, and every trapdoor turned out to be a staircase.
From the dungeon, his gift of dream interpretation reached Pharaoh's court: seven fat cows, seven lean, seven green ears of grain, seven dry. Yusuf decoded fourteen years of boom and famine and designed the storage policy that saved the region, becoming Egypt's treasurer. When his brothers finally stood before him, starving and unaware, he had absolute power over them and used it for one sentence: “There is no blame upon you today. God will forgive you.” (Quran 12:92). The boy from the well ran an empire's economy, and the dream of eleven stars came true on his palace floor.
