Triumph after Tragedy (Verses 56-61)

It is one thing to be God-conscious in times of hardship, but what do you do when life takes a turn for the better? What happens when tragedy and trauma is transformed into triumph? Is it a chance for cruelty or clemency?  In this episode (episode 17), we discuss a major inflection point in the story of Yusuf (as) when he is put in authority in the land, in charge of the foodstores in a time of drought, and what we can learn by the way he responds when his brothers come to him asking for his help. (12:56-61)

You will learn:

📖 How God’s plan for triumph often includes tragedy

📖 Why leadership requires experiencing marginalization

📖 The difference between forgiveness and escaping accountability

📖 How the Quran uses poetic symmetry to teach us about life

📖 How to trust Allah’s plan even when you don’t see the light at the end of tunnel
