Commentary
The story begins from the point that a child saw a
dream during his child-hood and told about it to his father. From this
beginning point, every individual can understand that the name of that child is
Joseph (peace be upon him). His father cares for him very much. That child is
very intimate with his father and discusses every matter with him and takes
advice from him and then acts upon that advice.
If you read a book written by any person on Joseph
and Zulaikha {wife of aziz-e-Misr (a title of the king of Egypt )}, you will
find that two points are overcoming in it – storytelling and history, and the
writers have produced it as “A Tale of Beauty and Love”.
After that; if you read the same story in Holy Qur’an,
you will reach that only important points have been taken and those points have
been adorned so beautifully that the reader can understand remaining concerning
matters naturally and easily, and the link of attractiveness does not break
anywhere. Moreover, its phraseology and way of narration is a thing in between
prose and poetry, in which purity of prose and attraction of poetry exists perfectly.
Such way of describing has been chosen that any
human being is unable to write like this whether he tries his best. In addition
to existence of story’s peculiarity, entire moral lessons come before the prudent
and picture of the passions becomes dimmed step by step after fulfilling its
duty. Indeed, this Chapter provides comfort to the heart, consolation to the
mind and exaltation to the manners along with moral precepts by its attractive
words and suitable mode of expression, in which both narratives (poetry and
prose) exist. Its abstract have more than enough influence and its elegance
have the power of drawing attention. Let’s recite again the above mentioned
verse. Dream of a child interprets external circumstances very clearly and it
is a mirror-holder of the child’s determination that certainly; his father,
mother and eleven brothers will admit the superiority of the child on one or
other day.
