Tricked sons to trick prophet of God in iFilm’s ‘Prophet Joseph’

Tricked sons are to trick the prophet of God in iFilm English TV’s historical series ‘Prophet Joseph’.

As Satan tricked them and told the ten brothers that he saw them carrying a child; as they were his slaves and he was their master … now, the brothers want to get rid of him in advance.

While Prophet Jacob is worshipping God in private, two of his sons start talking with him. They want to ask his permission to take Joseph to the plains.

“We just wanted to take Joseph to the plains so that he could play and we can teach him the ways of shepherding,” they tell the father.

Don't miss the sixth episode of the 45-part series on iFilm TV tonight at 23:00 GMT and you can watch it now via the channel’s website.

Made by the late Farajollah Salahshour, the series is the Iranian version of the very beloved story of Prophet Joseph, the son of Prophet Jacob who guided the Israelites to pray to the One and Only God.

“God annunciates to him about the next prophet, who will be from his own generation. One night, his son, Joseph, dreams about the sun, the moon and eleven stars which kneel in front of him. He tells Jacob, who advises him not to tell his brothers about the dream,” a synopsis of the series by iFilm English website reads.

Prophet Joseph is dear to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. For centuries, the story of his life has been told over and over in many different ways and in many different languages.

Notable on the cast list are Mostafa Zamani, Jafar Dehqan, Mahmoud Pakniyyat, Jahanbakhsh Soltani, Elham Hamidi, and Rahim Norouzi.
