Verses 7-10THE DESTRUCTIVE ROLE OF JEALOUSY IN OUR LIFE

      The conflict between good and evil, became more serious, when the brother's conspiracy was finalized. They at last decided not to kill Joseph, but cast him in the ledge of a desolate well in a far off desert; The story of Joseph and his brothers is rich in useful lessons, for the researchers of truth and facts of life:ِ

      ``There are signs in Joseph and his brothers for inquirers.''

      Here the inquirer can be all the researchers and ivestigators who look for more and newer social knowledge in general; but in particular, the Jews contemporary to Mohammad asked many questions about their father, Israel and his beloved son Joseph. They probably wanted to make sure of what they had in their Bible, or pull the prophet's leg!

      The main lesson here is thatِa powerful troop or band, who easily cut out all human relations, even that of brotherhood, and try to put to death a helpless weak boy surreptitiously; they shamefully fail by God's plan, that works wonderfully and turns all their plots and plans in favour and benefit of the poor boy who eventually reaches the rank of a prophet as well as a king! Here is where we see clearly that God's mill grinds slowly but sure.

      This proves that if a man has faith and piety, and puts his trust on God, is not alone and never helpless! If the whole world gather together and support one another to ruin him down, they will fail, and will not be able to reduce a hair from him!

 

      Joseph had ten step brothers and only one by blood, whose name was Benjamine. The mother of Joseph and Benjamine was Rahil. The ten, envied and hated the innocent younger two; who were from their father's second wife. They also despised and dishonoured their old father for loving Joseph and Benjamine more. Jacob's love for Joseph was for the boy's greatness and extraordinary genius. He knew well the difference between good and evil and between gold and dross. And besides; RAHIL, the mother of the two, had died leaving them orphans. So the father had to fill the vacancy of mother's love for them too.
Jealousy and envy had blinded the foolish brothers and they plotted to get rid of Joseph! First of all the propose was to kill him secretly, but one of the brothers who was a little wiser than the other said:ِ ``Why should we slay him at the risk of losing our social reputation and prestige? We better throw him upon the ledge of a desolate well in the far off desert so that some traveller may pick him up and take him away from our sight!:ِ''

``.... And after that, we may repent and become a righteous people.''

      The above clause of the verse NO.9 is a sign that, the brothers felt some anxiety for their sin in the depth of their hearts, and were not completely heedless of God and His judgementِhowever their suggestion of repentance before their sinning was to deceive their own conscience.
