20. Hazrat Yusuf (Prophet Joseph)
The story of Hazrat Yusuf (also known as Prophet Joseph) is a tale of jealousy, betrayal, and redemption. Yusuf was the beloved son of Prophet Yaqub (Jacob), and his brothers envied the special love their father had for him.
One day, driven by jealousy, they plotted against Yusuf. They took him out under the pretense of play and threw him into a well, intending to get rid of him.
They returned to their father with a false story that a wolf had devoured Yusuf, presenting his shirt stained with fake blood as evidence.
Meanwhile, Yusuf was rescued from the well by a passing caravan and eventually sold into slavery in Egypt, which marked the beginning of another chapter in his life.
21. Hazrat Yunus (Prophet Jonah)
According to Islamic tradition, Hazrat Younus (AS) was a prophet sent to guide the ancient Israelites toward the worship of one God and righteous living.
Hazrat Younus (AS) preached Islam to the people of Nineveh, in modern-day Iraq. However, they rejected his message and refused to repent.
Feeling frustrated, Hazrat Younus (AS) left Nineveh and boarded a ship. God sent a storm, and the sailors threw him overboard, believing he was the cause. He was swallowed by a large fish and remained inside for three days and nights.
In the belly of the fish, Hazrat Younus (AS) prayed for forgiveness. God answered, and the fish released him onto land.
