Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part -24

The Dry Years
The years of drought started. It did not rain in
that year. The Nile did not flow over its banks.
Plants withered. Fields became empty of
plants. The following year came. The water of
the Nile waned. Drought prevailed in Egypt
and the neighboring countries.
The people of Egypt loved Yousif, for he saved
them from the years of drought, and famine.
Their stores were full of seeds. Yousif, the
good kind person fed the hungry. He divided
seeds equally among people.
Thanks to Yousif Egypt passed the economic
crisis successfully. Yousif did not deny that
Allah made him a favor.
Egypt and many other areas suffered from
drought.
So people came to buy seeds from Egypt.
Yousif, the strong person of Egypt, supplied
them with seeds.
All the people left Egypt carrying wheat and
other foodstuffs. Thus they admired Yousif.
During the days of Yousif, the strong person
of Egypt, Egypt was full of good. People came
to Egypt from everywhere. Yousif received
them warmly. He was not selfish in his job
and with his power. He was humble. He
received people with a smile. He prepared
accomodations for the travelers who came
from distant places.
