Tafsir Sura Yusuf Ep 19

Sunday December 6, 2020

 

This episode reflects on verses 27-29, which describe the discovery that Yusuf's shirt was in fact torn from the back and present the reaction to Zulaykha's attempted seduction. This session attempts to answer the following questions: 1) Why did 'Aziz go along with the witnesses' suggestion? 2) Who is quoted in verses 28 and 29? 3) What is the nature of the 'plotting of women' mentioned, and is it addressing all women or just Zulaykha? 4) Why did 'Aziz remain with Zulaykha after her betrayal? And finally, a reflection on the motif of plots, racing, and shirts in this chapter.
