(Ma'ārifal-Qurān ) Posted by HE, 12/10/21
كذلك لنصرف عنه السوء والفحشاء
Allah 'turned sin away from Yusuf', not 'Yusuf away from sin'. This carries a subtle message that Yusuf alayhis salām did not move from his high station of Prophethood, rather as he is besieged by sin, Allāh Ta'ala breaks the siege.
When faced with immodesty from every direction, seek refuge in Allāh Ta'ala, in the way Yusuf alayhis salām sought refuge, besieged by the seduction of Zulaikhā.
