This is 12th Surah of 12th Parah in Quran. It has soo many intresting characters, like a loving father, jealous brothers, a cunning woman etc. The Surah comprises the whole story of Hazrat Yusuf A.S. And it starts with when he told his father(Hazrat Yaqoob) that he saw a dream. A dream that sun, moon and 11 stars were bowing down in front of him, Father told his son not to share his dream with his brothers because they were jealous of him. One day brothers decided to take Hazrat Yousuf A.S to play outside with him and throw him in the well. They asked father to take Yousuf A.S with them and did the same as they planned so. After that some people to the well, found small boy in it and sold him in Egypt. Fortunately king of Egypt bought him and raise him as his servant. as HAzrat Yousuf A.S was so handsome and good looking, Wife of that king fall in love with and tried to seduce him, Hazrat Yusuf A.S was so innocent and loyal to his king and tried to run from that place, as a result that woman tore off his shirt from the back. When the whole incident came in to king's knowledge, he felt guilty for his wife and although he knew the truth but he sent Hazrat Yusuf A.S to prison. In the prison Hazrat Yusuf kept preaching prisoners about only ALLAH and also tells their dream's actual meaning. One day king also saw a dream and asked its meaning, but everyone out there failed to explain that. A prisoner who came out of the cell a year ago told the king about Yusuf A.S, In the end king's wife accepted her guilt, Hazrat Yusuf A.S came out of the prison , explained king's dream and became king's accountant in Egypt. Later on Hazrat Yusuf's brother came to Egypt and found out that their brother is alive. They all accepted their mistake, apologize for what they did to Hazrat Yusuf A.S and finally the dream of Hazrat Yusuf became a reality. 

 What basic lessons do we get from this story?

Hazrat Yaqoob AS forbade Hazrat Yusuf AS to sharing his dream with them.
Lesson: Its OK if you hide things that are good for you so that others don't get jealous or feel lower to you.

Brothers decided to through Hazrat Yusuf A.S in a well and beg pardon again
Lesson: Dont commit sins with the thought that you'll beg pardon after that, Allah is watching you all the time.

It seems that so bad had happened to Hazrat Yousuf AS when brothers did wrong with him and threw him in the well
Lesson: Although from any human eye it seems quite wrong but Allah is well planned , HE has better plans for Hazrat Yusuf A.S. ALLAH has taken a small village boy to developed and civilized Egypt . Indeed HE is the best planner.

 A bad woman tried to seduce Hazrat Yusuf A.S, but he kept loyal to his king.
Lesson: Honesty is the best policy and always bear fruit.

But the importance of fingerprints was only discovered in the late 19th century. Before then, people regarded fingerprints as ordinary curves without any specific importance or meaning.
