Main lesson

Honesty and patience can turn deep harm into honor.

Yusuf was thrown in a well and sold as a slave. Years later he became a leader in Egypt. When his brothers came hungry, he forgave them. His story teaches that harm is not the end when you stay honest and patient with Allah.

Indeed, he who fears Allah and is patient — then indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good.

Quran 12:90

  • Forgive when you have power
