Joseph / Yusuf / Yosef

The beloved son sold into slavery by his jealous brothers who rose to become viceroy of Egypt, saving his family and many nations from famine. His story of betrayal, suffering, and ultimate forgiveness resonates deeply in all three traditions. The Quran's Surah Yusuf is described as 'the most beautiful of stories' (ahsan al-qasas), and it remains one of the most complete single narrative accounts in scripture.
