Yusuf

This is a sub-article to Joseph (Hebrew Bible). For the singer see Yusuf Islam. Yusuf (Arabic: يوسف, also Yousef, Yousuf, Youssef, Yussef, Yusef, Yossef, Yousov, Yousif or Yosef) is a prophet in the Qur'an, the holy scriptures of Islam. The figure corresponds to the character from the Jewish texts and the Christian Bible as Joseph and is the Arabic variant of that name. Although the narratives of other prophets are mentioned in various suras, the complete narrative of Joseph is given just in one surah, Sura Yusuf. However, it is said to be the most detailed narrative in the Qur'an, and bears some differences from the Biblical counterpart.
