Towards Understanding Surah Yusuf - 18

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discusses verses 92 to 98 of Surah Yusuf where we gather information on how Yusuf AS is finally reunited with his parents. Yusuf AS informs his brothers that no blame is on them in order to avoid hurting them which depicts the solid character of Yusuf AS. This brings the Shaykh to shed light on the two types of sins that man commits. Patience and perseverance will give us the rewards of Allah. Yusuf AS gives his shirt to the brothers and tells them to throw this shirt on their father which he promises will give his eyesight back. The shirt that caused his father immense grief and misery is the one that will eventually cure him.  When the shirt is brought to Yaqub AS, he smells the scent of Prophet Yusuf AS and is elated at the prospect of his son coming back to him. But his sons attribute his smelling of Yusuf AS to senility and trivialise his stature owing to senility. The brothers seek forgiveness from their father Yaqub AS, their brother Yusuf AS and most important of all, Allah SWT. But their father delayed the forgiveness of the brothers. Why was this done? Listen intently.
