Abstract

 
 
 
 
 
Joseph symbolizes beauty, and is admired as an preacher of Islam who is strongly committed to God and tries to persuade people to follow the path of righteousness.
These are all personal experiences of Prophet Yusuf (a.s) and thus Verse 53 says “Indeed the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has Mercy.” Since the Jihad in this story is against one's nafs, the story of Prophet Yusuf (a.s) is considered the “Best Story.”
