Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part-15

A Pearl in the Well
Allah, the Glorified, did not leave Yousif alone.
He supports all good people.
Yousif was sad. However, he was patient. He
firmly believed that Allah wanted to test him.
For this reason he looked at the sky and
praised Allah.
Yousif dreamt that eleven stars, the sun, and
the moon came into the well. So the well was
full of light. He saw them smiling at him and
prostrating to him.
Yousif woke. He looked at the blue sky. He
saw some white birds flying high in the sky.
So he burst into tears for his father.
Three days passed. Yousif was still in the well.
He was like a pearl in a deep sea.
He was like a pearl in the dark. No one knew
that there was the most beautiful pearl in the
well. It was Yousif's soul. Yousif was a
handsome, pure young man. No one knew that
except Allah.
Three days passed. Yousif had not eaten
anything. He drank only water. Yousif was
used to fasting. He fasted with his father. So
he bore the pain of hunger with patience.
For this reason his soul was transparent and
pure. It was like the wings of the emigrating
white birds.
