Such a difficult juz to pick something from, I actually had to go back to the twelfth Juz again and pick an ayah from Surah Yusuf. This is Surah Yusuf, in the 12th juz, and it’s ayah number 23. In this particular ayah, Allah is talking about temptation.
I know I’m talking to people on YouTube and on Facebook in particular, so I figured I’d talk about something that young people face, temptation. So Allah says the wife of the minister, Allah says she tried to seduce him. The word رَوَدَ (rawada) is used which comes from a word that means slowly. So the suggestion is that she tried to reel him in and she tried to seduce him, not just one time, but she kept at it.
She kept trying to get him. She was dropping a line or two, and he can’t get away because Allah says الَّتِى هُوَ فِى بَيْتِهَا(allatee huwa fee baytiha), the one in who’s house he was. Rhetorically, by saying her house, meaning she has access to the entire house, he can’t get away from her, everywhere he goes, she’s there. She’s slowly, little by little, making her advances.
