Yusuf

Yusuf is the Arabic form of Joseph, a prophet of Allah mentioned in the Quran. The name is derived from the Hebrew root meaning 'God increases' in piety, power, and influence. The 12th chapter of the Quran is named after him, Surah Yusuf, which is described as the most beautiful of stories. Prophet Yusuf was the son of Prophet Yaqub (Jacob) and was known for his beauty, patience, and forgiveness. He was sold into slavery in Egypt but rose to become a trusted advisor to the king, ultimately reuniting with his family.
