Rope of Loyalty

Yousaf (as) was clean, and a nice person. His life was full of hurdles and politeness. He did not muster strength to blame the circumstances. Neither did he find reasons to lose the trust of Allah (swt).

Since childhood, while he was in the well, Allah (swt) had given him a hint — it is he who is from the chosen ones. It is he to whom his brothers will come, for forgiveness. It is he who is destined to lead the nations.

For him, sinning (betraying Allah) was hard. He had every reason to never let go the rope of faith. He could not just let his desires take over. Any moment he does that — and he loses everything.

Similarly, we are destined to win the world. We are from the chosen ones. We can not let the rope of Allah go loose. Any moment we do it — and our world comes falling down.
