The story of Yusuf  is just one story in the Holy Quran. It teaches us many
lessons on how to live our lives. It also teaches us good qualities such as honesty,
integrity, respect, forgiveness and patience. The Quran is guidance, teaching us
how to live a good life on this Earth and be successful in the next.
In Islam we must respect each other. We must
always speak to each other in a kind and gentle
manner.
When we meet each other we make a dua by saying
Assalamu alaykum.
When we say the names of the sahabah or prophets
we also make a dua for them.

Our prophet Muhammad  during the journey of
al– Miraj was also shown Jannah (paradise). He
saw rivers and along their river banks He saw beautiful houses and
palaces made from crystals and diamonds. The sand smelled of musk. The
prophet  saw examples of the inhabitants of Jannah.
Draw the scene from Jannah:

Our prophet  also saw the punishments of Jahannam.
He met angel Malik, the angel incharge of hell fire. Malik did not smile. The
prophet  saw the punishments for doing bad deeds such as, talking bad of
other people, people who do not pay zakah, people who slept without praying,
people that consumed which was forbidden for them.
.The Prophet  also understood that a good deed would be written for the
person who intends to do a good deed, even if he did not do it. Also, the
good deed performed would be registered for he who performs it as at least
ten good deeds - up to 700 good deeds. For some people, Allah would
multiply the reward of their deeds even more than that.
Additionally, if one performs a bad deed, it is registered for him as one bad
deed; yet for he who inclines towards committing a bad deed and then
refrains from committing it, a good deed would be registered for him.
Our actions will take us towards Jannah or towards Jahanam
