Surah Yusuf Notes (86 - 87)

( Source: Ibn Kathir )


 (86) He said: "I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you know not.

(He said: "I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah.'') When they said these words to him, Ya`qub said,

`(I only complain of my grief and sorrow) for the afflictions that struck me,

(to Allah, ) alone,

(and I know from Allah that which you know not.) I anticipate from Allah each and every type of goodness.' Ibn `Abbas commented on the meaning of,

(and I know from Allah that which you know not.) "The vision that Yusuf saw is truthful and Allah will certainly make it come true.''


Ya`qub orders His Children to inquire about Yusuf and His Brother

(87) "O my sons! Go you and enquire about Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allah's Mercy, except the people who disbelieve."

Allah states that Ya`qub, peace be upon him, ordered his children to go back and inquire about the news of Yusuf and his brother Binyamin, in a good manner, not as spies. He encouraged them, delivered to them the good news and ordered them not to despair of Allah's mercy. He ordered them to never give up hope in Allah, nor to ever discontinue trusting in Him for what they seek to accomplish. He said to them that only the disbelieving people despair of Allah's mercy.
