Yaqub ﷺ (Jacob) was the son of Is'haq and grandson of Ibrahim. He had twelve sons — and his most beloved was Yusuf.
When Yaqub was near the end of his life, he called all twelve sons to him. He asked them: What will you worship after I am gone?
All twelve sons said together: We will worship your God and the God of your fathers Ibrahim, Ismail and Is'haq — the One God — and we are Muslims!
Yaqub was so happy to hear these words. 💛
The most important thing you can tell your parents is that you love Allah and will always be Muslim. That is the greatest gift! 💛
The brothers of Yusuf saw that their father loved Yusuf in a special way. They felt very jealous. They decided to throw Yusuf into a well!
Then they came back to their father Yaqub with Yusuf's shirt covered in false blood. They said: A wolf ate him!
Yaqub knew something was wrong. He said with great dignity: Your own feelings have tricked you. Beautiful patience! And Allah alone can help me against what you say.
He did not shout or cry out — he turned straight to Allah. 🙏
When something very bad happens, turn straight to Allah — just like Yaqub did. That is the strongest thing you can do! 🌟
Yaqub missed Yusuf every single day for many years. He cried so much he could not see well anymore. But he never stopped trusting Allah. He said firmly: I only tell my sadness to Allah — and I know from Allah what you do not know.
He kept telling his sons: Go and look for Yusuf! Never give up on Allah's mercy — only those who do not believe give up on Allah's mercy!
After many years, Yusuf came back! When Yusuf's shirt touched Yaqub's eyes — he could see again! ☀️
Never give up on Allah! Yaqub waited for years and never gave up hope. Allah's help always comes! ☀️
The brothers went to Egypt again for food. This time, their youngest brother Benjamin was kept behind — Yusuf had a plan to keep him close!
The brothers came back to Yaqub without Benjamin. But Yaqub said with full trust: Maybe Allah will bring them all back to me — He is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise!
He did not give up. And Allah truly did bring them all back — every single son came home! 💚
Even when bad things kept happening, Yaqub still trusted Allah! When things go wrong, keep trusting — Allah has a beautiful plan! 💛
Yaqub trusted Allah through the hardest years. He never gave up hope. And Allah reunited his whole family together — every single son came home.
