the valley of patience

the valley of patience.

is where Joseph rejected the offer of Zulaikha in the house of al-Aziz

Joseph : a very handsome guy, young and of  perfect qualities.

Zulaikha : a very beautiful woman, wealthy and of high social standing. *bagaimanapun, beliau adalah isteri kpd al-Aziz... *

.

let's say this is Zulaikha..

what actually happened?

one day, Zulaikha tried to take Joseph to herself and she offered herself to him. this she did because of her strong love to Joseph due to his good looks, good character and intelligence.

Zulaikha had the 'intention' to Joseph and so he did. ( that's normal because all man are born with hawa nafsu.) but what made this story abnormal is that how Joseph managed to fight against his lust and turned himself to Allah praying to make Zulaikha's temptation ineffective. it was granted by God!

why Joseph refused to turn to Zulaikha?

he did this, although he knew no one was there watching them, because of his fear to Allah and he really hoped for His rewards and mercy. Joseph preferred to be imprisoned over the offer made by the wife of al-Aziz.

Rasulullah SAW had once said : "There are seven groups who will be given shade by Allah at a time when there will be no shade except His shade (on the Day of Judgment):...[one of which is:], someone who was invited (for illegal sexual intercourse) by a beautiful and prominent woman, but he replied, 'I fear Allah.'"

here's a song entitled  " VALLEY " by Kareem Salama.

see how each and everyone of us is tested by Allah the same as Joseph was.

and ask ourselves 'have we ever turned to god everytime we are tested? if dont, then to whom we turned to?'

yes, kita sudah CUKUP UMUR...

.............tetapi..........

adakah kita sudah CUKUP MUSLIM?? 

iaitu muslim pada nama juga karakter.
INSYA ALLAH!
