How Ya’qub (as) Knew Yusuf (as) Wasn’t Dead | Ramadan Reflections
“I know from Allah what you don’t know.” These were the words of Prophet Ya’qub (as) when everyone around him believed Yusuf (as) was gone forever. But how did he hold onto certainty when the world told him otherwise? And what does this teach us about faith in the Unseen—especially when the promise of justice in places like Palestine seems so far away?
In this reflection, Dr. Omar Suleiman explores the deep connection between Ya’qub and Yusuf (as), the unseen ways Allah reassures the hearts of the oppressed, and why true faith is believing in Allah’s promise—no matter how impossible it seems.
“We know from Allah what they don’t know. And we have more trust in the word of Allah than in anything we see in front of us.” — Dr. Omar Suleiman
