He [Joseph] asked, “Do you remember what you did to Joseph and his brother in your ignorance?” They replied ˹in shock˺, “Are you really Joseph?” He said, “I am Joseph, and here is my brother ˹Benjamin˺! Allah has truly been gracious to us. Surely whoever is mindful ˹of Allah˺ and patient, then certainly Allah never discounts the reward of the good-doers.” Quran 12:89~90 Surah Yusuf (Joseph) [When The sons of Jacob went back to Egypt and to Joseph]
Yusuf (Arabic: يوسف, Yūsuf; Arabic synonym of “Joseph”) is the 12th chapter (Surah) of the Quran and has 111 Ayahs (verses)

قَالَ هَلۡ عَلِمۡتُم مَّا فَعَلۡتُم بِیُوسُفَ وَأَخِیهِ إِذۡ أَنتُمۡ جَـٰهِلُونَ قَالُوۤ ا۟ أَءِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ یُوسُفُۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ یُوسُفُ وَهَـٰذَاۤ أَخِیۖ قَدۡ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَیۡنَاۤۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن یَتَّقِ وَیَصۡبِرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا یُضِیعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِینَ
The story of Joseph in the Qurʾān is a continuous narrative. There are more than one hundred verses, and in totality they encompass many years and “present an amazing variety of sciences and characters in a tightly-knit plot, and offer a dramatic illustration of some of the fundamental themes of the Qurʾān.
(یہ سن کریوسفؑ سے نہ رہا گیا) انہوں نے کہا "تمہیں کچھ یہ بھی معلوم ہے کہ تم نے یوسفؑ اور اُس کے بھائی کے ساتھ کیا کیا تھا جبکہ تم نادان تھے“ وہ چونک کر بولے "کیا تم یوسفؑ ہو؟“ اُانہوں نے کہا، "ہاں، میں یوسفؑ ہوں اور یہ میرا بھائی ہے اللہ نے ہم پر احسان فرمایا حقیقت یہ ہے کہ اگر کوئی تقویٰ اور صبر سے کام لے تو اللہ کے ہاں ایسے نیک لوگوں کا اجر مارا نہیں جاتا"
” The Qurʾān itself relates to the story’s importance in the third verse: “and We narrate unto you aḥsanal-qaṣaṣ (Arabic: أحسن ٱلقصص, “best (or most beautiful) of stories”).
” Most scholars believe this is referring to Joseph’s story, while others, including Ṭabari, argue it is a reference to the Qurʾān as a whole.
It asserts and documents the execution of God’s rulings despite the challenge of human intervention (“And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not”).
This is what the story of Yūsuf confirms categorically, for it ends with comfort and marvels, which is described in the Qurʾān
