I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but I am interested to find out whether Joseph, son of Jacob, is known in the Qur'an and is considered a prophet?
Thanks.
Peace glo

Yes, he is known and his story is told in the Qur'an. In fact, it is described there as 'the most beautiful of stories'. His name in Arabic is Yusuf.
If you want to read about it for yourself it is Surah (chapter) 12 in the Qur'an.

I know it may sound abit boring when you see the english text only, but the arabic recitation of it is eloquent, and the best form of poetry you may have ever heard.

The chapter is split up into 6 parts. Like you've noticed above.
But i feel that if you hear the recitation while reading the text, or the translation - it makes the story alot more moving and emotional.. And its even more deeper if one was to know the arabic language itself.
Anyway, thanks for being interested.
Peace.

What is most interesting about surat al Yusuf, is that it is the only chapter told completely in story form. From the beginning to the end, it speaks of the story of NABI YUSUF (as), like a parable. Truly beautiful.
W'salaam
i love that story. so many examples and lessons to live a righteous life
i love the dua he made to his Lord
"O my Lord! Thou hast indeed bestowed on me some power, and taught me something of the interpretation of dreams and events,- O Thou Creator of the heavens and the earth! Thou art my Protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Take Thou my soul (at death) as one submitting to Thy Will (as a Muslim), and unite me with the righteous."
I thought i'd post this cause it ties in with the story of prophet Yusuf (Joseph) pbuh!
Treatment of Cataract (eye disease) from the Qur'an
One of the Swiss pharmaceutical companies has started producing a new medicine called "Medicine of Quran" which allows the treatment of cataract without surgery. As the newspaper Ar-Raya, published in Qatar writes, "this drug which was synthesised by an Egyptian doctor Abdul Basit Muhammad from the secretions of human sweat glands and has an effectiveness of 99 per cent with absolutely no side effects, was registered in Europe and the United States. It is also reported that one of the Swiss companies produces the new drug in the form of liquid and eye drops.
The source of inspiration is Surah(chapter) Yusuf. Dr Abdul Basit Muhammad emphasised that he obtained his inspiration from Surah Yusuf and said: "Once in the morning, I was reading Surah(chapter) Yusuf. My attention lingered over the 84th and successive ayats/ verses).
Go with this shirt of mine, and cast it over the face of my father, he will become clear-sighted, and bring to me all your family"
(Qur'an 12:93)
They tell that Prophet Yakub who was mourning his son Yusuf (peace be upon them) in sadness and grief got his eyes turned white and later when people cast over the sorrowful father's face, the shirt of his son Yusuf, vision returned to him and he was able to see again. Here I started pondering. What could be there in the shirt of Yusuf? Finally I arrived at the decision that nothing except sweat could be on it. I concentrated my thoughts over the sweat and its composition. Then I proceeded to the laboratory for research.
I carried out a series of experiments on rabbits. The results turned out to be positive. Later I performed treatment on 250 patients by administering the drug twice a day for two weeks. Finally I achieved 99 per cent success and said to myself: " This is the miracle of the Quran" Dr Abdul Basit Muhammad presented the results of his research to appropriate institutions in Europe and the United States dealing with patenting of new discoveries for consideration.
After tests and research were performed, he finalised a contract with a Swiss company on the production of the medicine on the condition that the package should clearly mention-"Medicine of Quran."
In the words of the Egyptian scientist, the company accepted his condition and started producing the new drug.

Allah Ta'ala says in the Qur'an-e-Kareem: We send down from the Qur'an that which is a healing and mercy to those who believe. (QURAAN 17:82).
"Invite all to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching;
And consult with them in ways that are best and most gracious."
(Al Qur'an, 16:125)
"Whoever lives amongst you will see much differing, so adhere to my Sunnah" Muhammad (صلّى الله عليه و سلم)
