Joseph

Prophet Yaqub (Jacob), grandson of Ibrahim and father of the twelve tribes of Israel, endured decades of grief over the loss of his beloved son Yusuf with a patience that became the Quranic paradigm of beautiful endurance (sabr jamil).

Known as Yusuf in Arabic, Joseph is one of the most beloved prophets in Islam, his story narrated fully in Surah Yusuf. His life exemplifies patience, forgiveness, and trust in Allah through trials of jealousy, slavery, false accusation, imprisonment, and ultimate triumph in Egypt.
