Analyzing the meaning of the words ‘Rabb’ and ‘Borhan’ in the verse "had he not beheld the proof of his Lord "

It is of high significance to comprehend the quality of the immersion of Prophet Joseph (as) in the love of God and set it as an example for the youth to take lessons from it in their daily lives. This research seeks to find out the exact meaning of the words Rabb [Lord] and Burhan [Proof] in the verse: «و لقد همت به و هم بها لو لا ان رای‏ برهان ربه» [She certainly made for him; and he would have made for her [too] had he not beheld the proof of his Lord]. The author also attempts to reveal the weak traditions reported for explaining this verse. For some of those narration-based interpretations do not correspond with the infallibility and practical morality of the divine messenger. One of the most important findings of the present study is that the narrations used in some commentaries are distorted in terms of content and its chain of narration. Contrary to some commentators who meant "Lord" to be "the king of Egypt", the correct meaning of "Lord" is "the Lord of the worlds". As such, the meaning of "God's proof" is the infallibility and piety of God, which is rooted in the monotheistic view of Yusuf (AS).
