UDL: Pressing Yusuf's Second Shirt (Session 2)

Connections:

            Imara’at  relates to Nafsa La Ammarat Its universal relationship to both men and women (8: 24 Yahulu bainal mari’..).

The Nafsa La Ammaratu connection is because this is the Transitional Phase between the 1st and the 2nd. “Thus did we establish Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events).”   In 23: 12-14 the growth pattern is from indefinite to definite.  So at this stage Yusuf is indefinite in his rational development but he’s beyond dominance by the jinn nature.

Nature of the Jinn is connected with our flesh existence and our need for Taqwa and Self-Discipline to override its affect on us. The Jinn is a part of "The Human Condition".  The Jinn in relationship to our human nature is like the shadow in connection with objects. Shadows aren’t in the objects but there is no object without a shadow. The Jinn is not a part of the human nature but there is no human being that is not attached to a Jinn.  Therefore, the Jinn is Connate not Innate to the human nature.
