Do Not Despair Of Allaah's Mercy

[*Proud_Muslimah*]

Assalamu Alaikum,

“O my sons! Go you and enquire about Yoosuf (Joseph) and his brother, and never give up hope of Allaah’s Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allaah’s Mercy, except the people who disbelieve.” (Yoosuf 12:87)

Ya’qub orders His Children to inquire about Yoosuf and His Brother

Allaah states that Ya'qub, peace be upon him, ordered his children to go back and inquire about the news of Yoosuf and his brother Binyamin, in a good manner, not as spies. He encouraged them, delivered to them the good news and ordered them not to despair of Allaah's mercy. He ordered them to never give up hope in Allaah, nor to ever discontinue trusting in Him for what they seek to accomplish. He said to them that only the disbelieving people despair of Allaah's mercy.
