Verses 39-42Verses 35-38

      The news of the banquet in which the ladies cut their hands reached AZIZ, and it was clearly proved that Joseph was not an ordinary man, and that he was so upright and virtuous that no temptation could pervert or mislead him. So in the sight of AZIZ and Zulaikhah, it seemed better to cast him out of views for sometimes, to give an end to the rumours and womanish disputes.

      In the sight of Joseph too, prison was better than being pressed with the unlawful requests and solicitations of so many ladies who were blinded by their low desires, and who wanted to force him to leave the path of rectitude, either by threat or bribe. So they imprisoned him for the time being.

      In that prison the plan of Allah developed, and a new chapter was opened in the life of Joseph, that man proposes but God disposes. In the universal plan of God, the prison was a door that would be opened to the court and palace of the King!

      There entered the prison with him two men who were officers of Pharaoh, and most probably his cup-bearer and baker, having incurred the king's wrath. Both of them found Joseph to be a truthful man of faith and wisdom, and also very kind to God's creature and a good-doer.

      The two man asked Joseph to interpret their dreams. The cup-bearer had dreamt that he was pressing grapes for wine, and the baker had dreamed that he was carrying bread on his head of which birds were eating.

      Before telling them the interpretation of their dream, Joseph tried to teach them faith and Monotheism, which had rooted in his own soul in all aspects. God had taught him knowledge and wisdom, he said, because he had left away the creed of those people who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, and that he had followed the apostles of God like ABRAHAM, ISAAC, and JACOB who were his own forefathers.
