Jumu'ah Live: “Yusuf’s Second Shirt: The Dress of The Rational Body” (Session 2)

12: 21. "The man in Egypt who bought him said to his wife: "Make his stay (among us) honorable: maybe he will bring us much good or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did we establish Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events).  And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not."

Connections:

            Imara’at  relates to Nafsa La Ammarat Its universal relationship to both men and women. The Nafsa La Ammaratu connection is because this is the Transitional Phase between the 1st and the 2nd. “Thus did we establish Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events).”   In 23: 12-14, the growth pattern is from indefinite to definite.  So at this stage Yusuf is indefinite in his rational development but he’s beyond dominance by the jinn nature.
