Jacob
يعقوب
Son of Isaac, also called Israel. The Quran shows him patient through the loss of Joseph, and charging his sons, as death drew near, to remain in submission to Allah.
Each step links to the passage of the Quran that recalls it.
When his son Joseph tells him his dream, he advises him to keep it from his brothers.
قَالَ يَـٰبُنَىَّ لَا تَقْصُصْ رُءْيَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ إِخْوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُوا۟ لَكَ كَيْدًا ۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ٥His sons return with Joseph's shirt stained with false blood. He does not believe them, and chooses “beautiful patience”.
وَجَآءُو عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِۦ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ ۚ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا ۖ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ ١٨Years later his eyes have whitened with grief; he complains only to Allah: “I complain of my grief only to Allah.”
قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَشْكُوا۟ بَثِّى وَحُزْنِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٨٦With Joseph's shirt laid over his face, he regains his sight, and sets out for Egypt to find his son.
فَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَ ٱلْبَشِيرُ أَلْقَىٰهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦ فَٱرْتَدَّ بَصِيرًا ۖ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٩٦As death approaches he gathers his sons: “What will you worship after me?” They answer: “Your God, the God of your fathers.”
