Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part -23

Agriculture
Allah has endowed Egypt with the Nile. In the
ancient times, people came to the Nile to
irrigate their fields and farms in a primitive
way. Yousif, the very truthful one (AS) came to
power. He developed the way of irrigation,
thus agriculture became prominent.
The people in those times used buckets to
irrigate their fields. When Yousif came to
power, he ordered them to build basins on the
banks of the river. When the Nile flowed over
its banks, the basins were full of water. Then
Yousif ordered them to cut canals through
their lands to carry water to their fields. Thus,
agriculture bloomed and products increased.
For seven years, the people of Egypt sowed,
reaped and stored seeds. Those years were full
of good, blessing, and growth.
