Prophet Yusuf in Prison
The Holy Quran has mentioned Prophet Yusuf's  story in a beautiful chapter entitled "Surah Yusuf (Chapter 12)." This is the most detailed and fascinating story in the Quran, involving both human weakness such as jealousy, hatred, pride, passion, deception, intrigue, cruelty & terror as well as noble qualities such as patience, loyalty, bravery, nobility and compassion. Prophet Joseph from childhood was very smart, handsome, respectful and obedient. His behavior and personality were much better than all the rest of his eleven (11) brothers.

The Dream

His ten brothers got envious of Prophet Joseph firstly because of Prophet Yusuf’s dream about the Sun, Moon and Stars prostrating before him, secondly of the special gift of a heavenly staff to him and thirdly he had another vision in which he saw that his staff was planted in the earth with those of his brother and his staff rise high into the sky and those of his brothers remained where they were.

When Prophet Yusuf was nine years old, he dreamt that eleven stars along with the sun and the moon were prostrating before him. The matter was wonderful. Joseph was astonished. He thought that those heavenly bodies smiled at him and glorified him. The dream enlightened his heart. It shook his feelings. He woke. However, the dream was still controlling his feelings. His heart, chest, and entity were full of that dream. The pictures of the stars, the sun, and the moon were still in his mind, as if they were before his eyes. He related the dream to his father. Prophet Yacub realized that the dream outlined his son's destiny and greatness and cautioned him not to tell his brothers about the dream, lest they plot against you. Surely Satan is an open enemy to man.
