Yusuf 21: The man who bought him in Egypt said to his wife, “value him and take good care of him. He might be of benefit to us. Or we might adopt him.” And as such (for him to rule in Egypt with justice) and so that We would teach him the interpretation of dreams, We placed Joseph to that place. Allah has the power to fulfill Allah’s order, but most people do not know (this).

The man in Egypt who bought him said to his wife: value him, look after him well; perhaps he will be of use to us, or we will adopt him as a son.

And so We settled Joseph in that land, so that he would rule with justice in Egypt and so that We would teach him the interpretation of the events in dreams. Allah is able to carry out His command. But most people do not know this.

This was the verse. We are explaining it. According to historical accounts, the man in Egypt who bought Joseph (peace be upon him) was Egypt's Minister of Finance. Yes.

Before explaining this part, it is worth adding here some information about Joseph (peace be upon him). After Joseph (peace be upon him) was trained by our Lord, when he came to be in charge of finance there, that is, of their financial affairs, and became a highly respected person, the Pharaoh there and all the people loved Joseph very much. In fact, when Joseph died, so that nobody would take him, they placed him in a coffin, a sturdy coffin. They put it into the river Nile. According to the narrations, Moses (peace be upon him) takes Joseph's coffin out and buries him in the normal way.

So, according to historical accounts, the man in Egypt who bought Joseph (peace be upon him) was Egypt's Minister of Finance.

They had no children either. When this man understood Joseph's foresight (?) and his intelligence, he told his wife: look after this boy well, perhaps he will be of use to us. That is, since he is accurate in the decisions he makes in accounting matters, perhaps in the future, when we grow old, he will take our place and help us. Or we should adopt him as a son.

In this way Joseph (peace be upon him) came to be settled in a good place in Egypt. Allah Almighty would also teach Joseph the interpretation of the dreams he had seen before. Allah Almighty has power over all things. Allah is the one who carries out His decree. While carrying out this decree, He creates causes for people, and events within these causes. By carrying out these events, people earn sin and reward. Moreover, Allah keeps what these people will do within their destinies under His decree. He thus shows us that no person can escape his destiny by running away. People who do not know what Allah's decree is, although they do the things done by themselves, Allah, who creates these events, and these created events and (?) that bind them to one another, since such people are many, they do not know that Allah's command, that is, that He is wise in His decree, they do not know this.

What do they know only? It went like this, and so we did it like that. Whereas it was in his destiny; Allah Almighty had these. When the time comes, deservedly in (?), through those people's doing, those people, fulfilling their own aims, with (?) and the decisions they have made, will earn reward and sin. And because our Lord knows what these are, people do not know that Allah prepared those causes. They always think they did it themselves.

But while people live their destinies, within their destinies, in the direction of their wishes and desires, they do not remember Allah who (?) the causes. For this reason, within people's destinies, Allah is able to carry out His command. Most people do not know, He says. That is, for this reason, within people's destinies Allah is able to carry out His command. That is, whatever they are going to live, We will (?) for them, and they will prove to Us, before Us, what kind of person they are, He says. In this case Allah Almighty, our Lord, who knows the essence of all that He has (?) and has power over them, through the verses lays before us His existence and that He is aware of everything.
