Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Joseph (peace be upon him) sought authority as a balance between benefit and harm, for he knew that no one could take his place in justice and reform, and he considered this a personal obligation, as Al-Qurtubi stated. Ibn Al-Arabi said: He sought it with preservation and knowledge, so that he could deliver rights to the poor, not for his own personal gain.
