Ayat 87. "O my sons! Go you and enquire about
Yusuf (Joseph){PBUH} and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Mercy.
Certainly no one despairs of Allah's Mercy, except the people who disbelieve."
Ayat 88. Then, when they entered unto him [Yusuf
(Joseph)]{PBUH}, they said: "O ruler of the land! A hard time has hit us and our
family, and we have brought but poor capital, so pay us full measure and be
charitable to us. Truly, Allah does reward the
charitable."
Hazrat Aishah (May Allah be pleased with
her) reported: Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "When Allah desires good for a ruler, He
appoints for him a sincere adviser who will remind him if he forgets and helps
him if he remembers. When Allah wishes for him the contrary, He appoints for him
a bad adviser who will not remind him if he forgets, nor will he help him if he
remembers.'' [Muslim Book 37, Chapter
04, Hadith # 6626/6627/6628].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Yusuf Ayat
80. "Allah decides my case (by releasing Benjamin) and He is
the Best of the judges." In the recruitment of good and scrupulous aides lies the
Blessing of Allah to a ruler because such aides will prove helpful to him in
making sound judgments, reaching right conclusions and guarding him against
leaning towards evil ways. Yet, if all of these aides are self-seekers,
flatterers and corrupt, they will undoubtedly influence his
decision-making in a bad way. And one can believe that the end of the ruler will
be far from being desirable because history also supports this view. As for the
Hereafter, he will be hardly safe from the infernal
torment.
