The children of Israel returned to Canaan perplexed, grieved, and mentally disturbed, for leaving their brothers behind, and their sad, and anxious, old father in front. In the first sight Jacob apprehended that there could be some bad news. He perceived their confused features, but did not see Benjamine and Reuben among the group!!?

      When they gave him the detail of what had happened to Benjamine, an anger which was mingled with grief seized the man of God. He shouted saying:ِ ``No! It cannot be that! Benjamine, can never steal!''  Jacob was a man of knowledge and experience. He knew his children very well, and in particular Benjamine, of whose innocence and piety he was sure enough. He therefore, did not believe of what the brethren said, and frankly called it a cockِandِbull story! To him it was a false and forged tale that could not even mark a slight scratch upon the innocence and piety of Benjamine. He was angry, why were his sons yielded with nonchalant ease, giving their innocent brother to slavery!? Why did they not defend their brother that finding the cup in his baggage could not justify his stealth; and more reasons was needed to prove the theft? But very soon the old man of God held his control and said:ِ

      ``Patience is beauteous. I commend me and my children to the care of my Merciful Lord. I only complain of my anguish and sorrow to Allah. May it be that Allah brings them all back to me, that he is All-knowing, All-wise''

      Jacob had an unwavering faith in Allah which served to stuck him to a greater hope instead of being abandoned to despair! So he said:ِ ``May it be that Allah brings them all back to me, and that; I know of Allah what you boys do not know.''

      Of course Jacob's anguish and grief for the loss of his Joseph was great. Continuous tears had turned his world even physically darkِdark amide the blaze of noon, and irrecoverably dark, that he, in that knocking down anguish had lost his sight entirely! He bore his tearful and unshareable grief in silence; and complained to no one, but to his Merciful Lord:ِ

      ``I only complain of my anguish and sorrow to Allah. I know of Allah what you know not.''

      At last he turned away from them saying:ِ ``Alas! what a pity for my Joseph; then his eyes whitened with tears of the grief which he swallowed and choked it within him.''

      Seeing that; his anxious sons said to him:ِ

      ``By Allah you continue with reminding Joseph, untill you are consumed or get perished.'' But a flash of divine light sparkled in the depth of his pure heart, by the perfect faith that he had in God! The light told him that all would be well. Your lost Joseph will returned to you to give an end to your grief and sorrow. Your cold and sad hut will soon turn into a splendid and joyous mansion in a glorious gardenِyou have faith! Sincere and pure faith in Allah, the Merciful. the Compassionate.
