A Consoling Tale for Those Who Experience Impatience

The imprisonment of Prophet Yusuf was not merely a life of captivity; it was the beginning of an eternal educational process. Each day spent in prison laid the groundwork for the formation of a future patient and resolute leader. In the closed world of the prison, many characteristics began to emerge in his mind that needed to be observed for both himself and the other inmates. The life in prison also developed his social sensitivity and granted him a profound awareness in his relationships with people. Every moment carried a deep meaning, and he preferred to reflect deeply on what he gained here to extract it from his troubles. All these experiences made him a stronger person both spiritually and physically. Finally, with Allah's help, he succeeded in escaping from prison by crowning his patience.
