Connecting With Allah: Lessons from Surah Yusuf

One of my absolute favourite surahs in the Qur’an is the Story of Prophet Yusuf عليه السلام and his father Ya’qub ليه السلام. As I sat listening to this beautiful Surah (for the millionth time), I realized that the number of lessons that Allah teaches us through the lives of these great Prophets are some of the most relatable, given the tumultuous world we find ourselves living in today. How many times have we found ourselves in conflict with family members or friends or we have found that someone may look at us unfavourably for reasons unknown or even known? How many times do we find ourselves wondering if we will ever come out of a test or a series of tests and trials that seem to hit us one after the other? How many times have we felt such overwhelming sadness and grief that sometimes we feel that we have nowhere to turn to again? How many times have we felt fear and anxiety over situations we may not have control over and how many times have we felt fear over the safety of our children?
