Yusuf asa confronting his brothers with dignity



أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم 

Yusuf 12:89

قَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا فَعَلْتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذْ أَنتُمْ جَٰهِلُونَ 

He said, "Do you know what you did with Joseph and his brother when you were ignorant?"

Yusuf 12:90

قَالُوٓا۟ أَءِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ يُوسُفُۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ يُوسُفُ وَهَٰذَآ أَخِىۖ قَدْ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَتَّقِ وَيَصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 


They said, "Are you indeed Joseph?" He said "I am Joseph, and this is my brother. Allah has certainly favored us. Indeed, he who fears Allah and is patient, then indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good."

Gift to Musa

Aaoodhoo billahe minashaitan rajeem 

Maryam 19:53

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ‌و مِن رَّحْمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ نَبِيًّا 

And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother Aaron as a prophet.

Beautiful wording. Subhan Allah. Surely Haroon asa was a special gift to Musa asa that Allah granted to Musa asa. Subhan Allah. Allah used the word wahabna not aataina. According to my understanding wahabna is giving special gift and aataina is just giving. Allah o Akbar. And Allah gave him out of His Mercy. Having a helper in your family is the greatest gift because It is the immediate family who know our deepest defects. Musa asa had a problem of speech and Haroon asa knew that so he was the perfect person to help. I also notice that Musa asa didn't feel devalued by taking help of his brother. Big tasks can't be achieved without taking help from others but my ego doesn't let me ask for help. O Allah grant us family out of Your Mercy who become our helpers in pleasing You and help us kill our ego to ask for help from whoever can help us. Ameen.
