Quran 12 Verse 22 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Yusuf ayat 22, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(12:22) And when Joseph reached the age of maturity, We granted him judgement and knowledge.[20] Thus do We reward those who do good.


20. By the use of such words as the Quran usually means, We bestowed on him Prophethood, for the Arabic word hukmun stands for both judgment and authority and ilmun stands for that knowledge which is directly revealed to the Prophets by Allah. Thus, the Arabic words of the text will mean: We gave him the power and the authority and the knowledge needed for judging rightly the affairs of the people.
