| THIS CHAPTER has 111 Meccan verses, except for vv. 1, 2, 3 and 7 which date from Madina. It comprises twelve sections, and was revealed after the previous one which is entitled Hud [the Messenger] 11 and before Stoneland 15. It might almost be considered a short story, for it forms one of the enduring tales in world literature, and a great theme that has been known for millenia throughout the Middle East. It has even inspired modern writers like Thomas Mann. Joseph at the beginning is clearly a boy, a younger brother who will relax and play while the rest of the family are out working (II). Thus he provokes sibling jealousy. He matures through trial and misfortune until he ends as an advanced civil servant or statesman. If this chapter carries any message, it is the need for trusting God entirely through any period of trial. Moses' mystic journey (18:IX-X) serves as another example of this advice. Watch for the unkind cut when Joseph was falsely accused of stealing (IX), and especially for the noble figure of the here nameless elder brother who also appears at II and X; the family was not all bad. It is interesting too that the ruler of Egypt is here called a king rather than Pharaoh (VI-VII). In the name of God, the Mercy-giving, the Merciful! (I) | ||
