Yosef or Yousaf is a prophet in the Quran the holy scripture of Islam the figure corresponds to the character from the Jewish texts and the Christian Bible as Joseph and is the Arabic variant of that name It is one of the common names in the middle East and among muslim nations Prophet Joseph is believed to have been the eleventh son of Jacob and his favorite.


The story of Yusef in the Quran moves in a stream from beginning to end its substance and form are equally coherent this is what the story of Yusef confirms categorically for it ends with comfort and marvels which is described in Quran the story begins with a dream and ends with its interpretation as the sun appeared over the horizon bathing the earth in its morning glory Yusef son of Ya'qub awoke from his sleep delighted by a pleasant dream he had had.


His father's face lit up he foresaw that Yusef would be one through whom the prophecy of his grandfather Prophet Ibrahim would be fulfilled in that his offspring would keep the light of Ibrahim's house alive and spread Allah's message to mankind however the father was well aware of the jealousy of Yusef's brothers so he warned him against telling his dream to his brothers.
