Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
I-Quran ikhuluma kakhulu ngempilo kaMprofethi uYusuf (as) eyayigcwele izinhlupheko, kusukela ekujikijelweni kwakhe emthonjeni ngabafowabo, kunokuba ikhulume ngobuprofethi bakhe. Iphinde ikhulume ngempilo yakhe ehloniphekile, edramathikali neyodwa, ebonakala ngokwethembeka, ukuthembana, ubuqotho nokubekezela, kanye nangezikhundla azithola ekugcineni, izinkonzo zakhe, nokuhlangana kwakhe nomndeni wakhe wonke, ngisho nasekufiseni kwakhe ukufa nokulangazelela kwakhe impilo yangemva kokufa, okubonisa amandla okholo lwakhe.
Ngokweminye imithombo, uJoseph (as) wafika eGibhithe cishe ngo-1729 ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaKristu. Wayeneminyaka engamashumi amathathu lapho eba ngumholi eGibhithe. Wafa ngo-1635 ngaphambi kokuzalwa kukaKristu. Ngesikhathi sokubusa kwakhe, waletha izihlobo zakhe eGibhithe. Ngakho-ke, abakwa-Israyeli bafika khona okokuqala.
(Ibn Ashur, Yusuf, incazelo yezindima 1-4).
Ngokwezwi lika-Ibn Ishaq, umbusi waseGibhithe u-Walid ibn Rayyan wamukela u-Yusuf (u-Joseph) njengomprofethi futhi wangenela inkolo yakhe.
(bheka u-Ibn Kathir, en-Nihaye, 1/241; Kasasu’l-Enbiya, 137).
Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe, chofoza lapha:
Ingabe uJoseph wathunyelwa ukuyofundisa abafowabo kuphela? Yiziphi izifundo esingazithola kuSurah Yusuf?
Ngiyabingelela ngithandazela…
