Have you seen Yusuf? The Hebrew boy. No, I haven't seen him. Was he with.

With you? Yes, and when I looked back, I didn't see him. And what about you? He was entrusted to me, and if the boy is lost, I will be punished.

They punished harshly.

So he has escaped from me.

Do you think you can escape from me?

What happened to you? Why are you so anxious?

I fear that my beloved Yusuf is going through difficult times. What is the matter, O Prophet of Allah? Yusuf is not well, O Leah.

My beloved Yusuf is not well. I will discipline you so that you do not.

Do not try to escape again. I have.

Your master warned me that you are deceitful, but I will break your legs so you cannot try to escape. It will be impossible for you to run away.

No! No! No!

No! No! No! My hand! My hand! My hand!

What's wrong with you, man? Calm down a bit so I can see.

I don't know, I don't know what happened to me. Suddenly pain struck my hand. This pain doesn't come without a reason. Either it's a snake bite, or you carried.

I did something heavy. While I was walking behind the caravan, I looked.

I didn't see the boy, so I knew he had run away. I searched for him and found him hiding behind that.

That wall, then I tried to hit him, but my hand became paralyzed and started hurting. As soon as you hit him, your hand became paralyzed.

He's running away, this poor boy can't handle it.

Didn't it occur to you that his God might take revenge on you? You fool, we bought him to sell him, and he won't benefit us if he has a defect.

Why did you run away? I didn't run away. This is my mother's grave.

I wanted to say goodbye to her.

But the graves of slaves are trampled, let alone having a marker. This is not the grave of a slave's mother.

Who are you, Yusuf?

Did his slap hurt you?

Do you know, O Bala, what I would have brought upon you if you had escaped from my hands? He is not a hateful man, but he slapped you out of fear of the harshness of retribution against him.

Do you hold resentment and hatred against him? I was never raised to have hatred and resentment.

You are blessed.

If you forgive him, I will free you from the bonds of my hands. Won't he hit me again?

I swear by the God of Ibrahim that I will forbid anyone from raising their hand against you with harm.

Are you among those who affirm tawhid? I am Malik ibn Za'r ibn al-Qa'ib ibn Ismail ibn Ibrahim. I am from the descendants of Ismail, the one whom Allah commanded to be sacrificed. And who are you?

You are. I am Yusuf, son of. son of whom?

I am Yusuf, son of the well. You do not want to tell me your father's name. I told you I am the son of the well.

I was born yesterday in the pit where you found me when a messenger from Allah came to me. I do not understand anything you are saying, Yusuf.

If you refuse to reveal your identity, that is fine.

It is fine, but forgive the man. That is fine, I have forgiven him.

You are blessed. Renew the covenant by acc.

At your mother's grave, and we will not leave.

We will set out.

Get ready to depart.

Peace be upon you, my father. Peace be upon you, my father. Peace be upon you, my father.

Did you find Yusuf? Do you think he was lost?

Why are you so wounded? From now on, the Children of Israel will know neither goodness nor blessing.

And I will not forget, with love and harmony. Those wolves that tore apart Yusuf yesterday will devour each other tomorrow.

Levi, I have promised.

I brought your brother Yusuf to you, and if it were not for you.

Why did I send him with you to the desert? Why did you neglect your brother? What happened to Yusuf?

What did you do to Yusuf? Speak! I mean you! May Allah's curse be upon you.

Where is Yusuf?

Come on, speak! What did you do to Yusuf?

Enough, Layan. What did you do to Yusuf? Enough.

A number of incidents that happened to us recently have caught my attention.

I don't know whether you agree with me or not.

If we hadn't lost our way in that storm, we would never have come to this area.

And if the animals hadn't stopped at that well, we would have continued our journey without any delay.

And if it weren't for the thirst and the lack of water, we wouldn't have asked for water.

All of this was arranged by Allah so that we could capture this servant and sell him and make a great profit from him.

Your provision comes to you and you will not miss it.

Events come together and elements complement each other.

Until you receive what Allah has decreed for you in His unseen.

And during this journey, this Hebrew boy was our provision that was brought to us.

Help me, O great Ishtar, help me.

This pain will kill me, save me, I am perishing.

Save me from this pain, O great Ishtar, rescue me from this pain.

The pain will kill me.

Save me, O great Ishtar.

Save me.

Save me from this pain, O Ishtar, rescue me from this pain.

Save me, O great Ishtar.

I am going to die from the intensity of the pain. Save me, O Ishtar.

Save me.

Save me, O great Ishtar.

Help.

Where are you, great Ishtar?

The pain will kill me.

I am dying from the severity of the pain. My hand, my hand.

Save me, great Ishtar.

Save me.

What have you done now?

Are your hands healing? What did you do? Believe me, I never did anything at all.

Everyone does as I did. Pain in such a spot is soothed by massage.

Malik tried hard and massaged the spot.

But it was no use. What did you do?

You were glancing at the sky.

Are you one of those who worship the stars?

And is it reasonable that a star which disappears during the day could be a god to be worshipped?

So you are not among those who worship the sun and the moon either.

Because the sun disappears at night and the moon disappears during the day. The God who created these and everything else, He is eternal and everlasting.

Unique, One, the Eternal Refuge. It seems to me, as you are a young boy,

that you desire a god better than my god and Qitmir.

It seems that this is a god who loves you.

And He does not turn you away disappointed when you call upon Him.

And does this qualify as a god? I used to suffer and plead with Him without receiving an answer. I thank you so much, Yusuf, I am grateful to you.

My soul almost left me from the intensity of the pain that struck me.

I repeat my apology to you for that slap I gave you.

I apologize to you, Yusuf. It was a useful slap.

If the slap was a way for you to be guided to the path of Allah, then I do not mind at all.

I am from these areas and I know all their paths, and I have often been a guide for traveling caravans.

But this time, you are the one guiding me to the way. Only He is the Guide and the Leader.

He guides whom He wills among His servants, and leaves whom He wills in his error and misguidance.

Thank you.

I don't know who this boy is. I saw him yesterday muttering words and healing Qitmir's hand.

How strong is the relationship between him and his Lord? Maybe he is one of the awliya.

It's not necessary for someone to be a wali to heal Qitmir's hand from its ailments.

I said yesterday that he would be healed on the condition that Yusuf forgives him.

And what do you say about the dream? I saw him in my sleep, water stepped on a spot until it turned green and grew.

Dreams are not valid as evidence. You do not know Allah, the One.

He quickly punishes the wrongdoers, but if the one who was wronged forgives you,

then Allah will also forgive you. This is what I know.

This spot has always been green.

But the lack of rain threatens its crops with destruction. I am from the neighboring villages.

If the sky does not bring rain, drought and dryness will destroy us.

Allah.

Most Merciful, Most Compassionate, gentle with His servants.

My master, the Owner.

One of the travelers is in a bad state, come with me.

He has been sick for a while, but his illness got worse today.

He is not well.

I see him breathing his last breaths.

There is no hope for him to stay alive. We must do something. We can't just let him die.

Prepare a bed on wheels for him. Tie the bed to an animal.

And keep the bed at a distance from the group.

You will recover. Life and death are in the hands of Allah, He gives life and causes death.

My dear son, go, I am.

I am doomed for sure, soon.

Why would I die, my son? I will stay by your side. You will recover. Death and life are in the hands of Allah alone.

Do not lose hope.

Why do you stay with this patient? I told him to stop but he did not leave. I cannot leave him alone.

Allow me to stay with him, please. But his illness is incurable, you cannot do anything. Allah loves those who help their brother.

Don't worry about me. Watch him carefully.

Faleeh! Faleeh!

The old man has recovered. See? He survived certain death. Are you really healed?

You see that. he is fine.

Was his healing at your hands? Me?

You have already healed Qitmeer’s hand. Allah is the Healer, I did nothing but du'a.

Master Malik, Master Malik, come and see, the patient has recovered and is well.

Come and see for yourself.

Why did you insist so much on staying by his side? I am also a guide like you.

The best guides are those who make sure the travelers reach their destinations safely and in good health.

What happened?

Yusuf asked me.

To get off the stretcher and walk.

So I did as he told me, and here you see.

You see that I am well.

Sir, tell me, am I really healed? I owe my soul and my life to Yusuf.

If he had not stayed with me and treated me, I would now be among the dead.

Anyone could have stayed with you and treated you. I did nothing.

This man was on the verge of death, and we had lost hope for his recovery. I do not know which god is your God, Yusuf, but now I know very well.

That He is truly powerful, and that He hears your du'a.

I heard you asking Him to heal me.

And your du'a changed my condition completely.

We will set out now.

This rain is falling.

It shows the blessing of Yusuf's presence among us.

To the border of the land of Egypt. We have half a day's journey ahead, and soon we will reach the border guards of that land.

I have not seen any sign of border guards during our entire journey.

In al-Sham, Canaan, al-Hijaz, and the other lands, things are left to themselves; they have no borders and no walls to protect them.

But Egypt is different; it has clearly defined borders and binding laws.

And it has an army and a government that manages the affairs of the people.

The pharaohs of Egypt are the strongest men on this earth, Yusuf.

My Lord, I turn to You and ask You for help and support as I am about to enter this foreign land.

These are the borders of Egypt, O Yusuf.

O Allah, I entrust my soul and my body to You, for I have no companion but You.

In the land of wonders, this is.

Stop!

Who are you and where do you come from? I am Malik ibn Za'ar from the land of Babylon.

Continue on your way.

Do those guards know you? Of course they know us, we've been coming to Egypt for trade for many years.

Egypt is an ancient land from times long past.

Do not compare them to Sham and Canaan. How strange are the clothes they wear. Yes, this band on their heads symbolizes a deadly serpent in their land.

This land is known as the land of snakes. The Egyptians claim that there is a great serpent watching over the safety and prosperity of their country.

We have cows and sheep too, but not to this extent. Just look at these people. These herds and green farms either belong to the gods or to the temples of Egypt.

Or they belong to the ruler of the land, Amun. Everyone here works as forced labor for them and owns nothing. The god of the Egyptians buys cows and sheep? Everything here belongs to their god.

Allah created everything, but not for Himself.

And what are these cats doing here? The cat is the goddess of the people of this city, and this is the temple of their city.

The people of the city exaggerate in their appreciation.

The cat is considered sacred.

Why are you looking at me like that? I am not among those who worship cats.

Not all gods are like your god; there is no flaw or deficiency in them, respected one.

The cat is the goddess of the people of Medina, and she eats food.

This is part of their strangeness: their gods own animals and vehicles, and take spouses and children.

So there is no trace of the belief in tawhid in Egypt? Declaring the oneness of Allah is considered a crime here.

Never mention the belief in tawhid or insult the gods of the Egyptians; people will not tolerate hearing that.

What a great river. Is this the Nile? This is the lesser Nile. It is one of its branches. The Nile is greater and more sacred.

More sacred than this.

Why is it sacred? They say that Egypt is the gift of the Nile.

If it weren't for the Nile, there would be no Egypt. No one has been able yet.

until now to see the source of the Nile. They claim that only the gods are able to reach it. This river originates from the south and passes through Egypt northward to flow into the Mediterranean Sea.

We are now heading south toward the ancient city of Thebes.

Thebes is the city of the god Amun. On the other side of the Nile lies.

the land of the west. It is the land of the dead. Those great pyramids were built over the tombs of the pharaohs of Egypt.

This spot is called Memphis.

In this place, the Nile branches into several channels.

My friend, whenever we sell Yusuf to some wealthy people of Egypt.

He will also enjoy safety and prosperity.

And we will gain a great profit.

If only we could avoid selling Yusuf.

And after that.

We are heading south, and to our right, the land of the dead still stretches out.

That ship.

It is designated for transporting the bodies of the dead. And on this bank of the Nile where we are, lies the ancient city of Thebes. The city of Thebes is a.

The city of the gods of the Egyptians, and it is the seat of the government of Amun, the ruler of Egypt who made it his capital. They call Thebes the city of the god Amun.

Look, this is Thebes, appearing from afar.

This is Thebes, the city of a hundred gates. A hundred gates? It doesn't have more than ten gates, but.

But travelers who enter it call it the city of.

a hundred gates whenever they return to their homes.

I am Malik bin Za'ar from the land of Babylon.

What's wrong with you?

Why aren't you sleeping?

I'm afraid you'll run away from me.

Who are you?

What kind of creation of Allah are you?

I already answered this question.

Yusuf.

The gods I believe in are powerless and do not.

Amount to anything compared to your God.

I wish you would tell me something about your God.

He is present and exists at all times.

And in every place.

I saw how you speak to Him easily, and He in turn hears your innermost thoughts.

And He also answers your du'a.

There is no doubt in my mind that you are not like the rest of creation whom I know. There is a hidden strength in you that enables you to do anything.

I do everything that does not anger my Lord. Who is this God of yours who helps you and supports you wherever you are?

How beautiful is the way you described my Lord.

I would like to believe in Him and worship Him. You have just believed.

You don't need to renew your pledge. Do you truly believe?

You said that my Lord is present and exists, and that you see Him as capable of everything, and He hears every secret and never disappoints the hope of anyone who calls upon Him.

Then you described your gods as powerless, humiliated, and weak. This is true iman. You mean,

that I have become, like you, someone who affirms the oneness of Allah, the Exalted? You became a believer in tawhid the night Allah healed Qitmir's hand, and you asked me things that show that. Who are you?

Why don't you speak? Outwardly, you are a runaway slave, but in reality, you are the master of masters.

I ask you by Allah, the One, except that.

Do not swear by Allah, for I have not been given permission to speak.

I will only say that what happened to me was by the planning of Allah and by His will.

And He is the One who brought Yusuf to the land of Egypt for a noble purpose.

What purpose? Tell me your purpose.

I do not know. It will become clear with time. I will not allow Malik to sell you in the market. I will stop him.

Nothing is hidden from Allah. If it is His will that I become enslaved, I do not mind.

Go, go and sleep, and do not let it worry you that I may become a servant.

Do you still refuse to tell me your father's name? I told you, I am the son of the well.

That well we took you out of? Fine, as you wish.

I will discover your secret one day.
