Prison Is Dearer to Me – The Dua That Touched Heaven
π Surah Yusuf (Verses 31–34) – English Translation
Verse 31:
When she heard of their gossip, she invited them, prepared a banquet, and gave each of them a knife. She said, “Come out before them!”
When they saw him, they were astonished at his beauty, cut their hands, and exclaimed, “Glory be to Allah! This is no man — he is but a noble angel!”
Verse 32:
She said, “This is the one about whom you blamed me! Yes, I tried to seduce him, but he resisted. Yet if he does not do what I command, he shall surely be imprisoned and will be among the disgraced.”
Verse 33:
He said, “My Lord! Prison is dearer to me than what they invite me to. And unless You turn their plots away from me, I might incline toward them and be among the ignorant.”
Verse 34:
So his Lord answered him and turned away their plot from him. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
✨ Summary:
In these verses, the women of Egypt gossip about Zulaikha’s love for Yusuf (A.S.). To prove her point, she shows them Yusuf’s beauty — and they are left speechless, calling him an angel. Zulaikha admits her desire and threatens Yusuf with prison if he refuses her.
But Yusuf (A.S.), full of faith, chooses prison over sin. Allah answers his sincere dua and protects him from temptation.
In Surah Yusuf (Verses 31–34), Prophet Yusuf (A.S.) faces one of the greatest tests of purity and faith.
When temptation surrounded him, he raised his hands and said:
“My Lord! Prison is dearer to me than what they invite me to.”
This powerful dua shows that when you choose Allah over desire, He protects your honor and purifies your heart.
Watch this short reminder to feel the beauty of Yusuf’s patience, purity, and divine protection. π
