Who is Joseph’s God in iFilm’s ‘Prophet Joseph’?

Joseph introduces his God to some of his companions in iFilm English TV’s historical series ‘Prophet Joseph’.

“So, it isn’t the moon or the sun that you’re worship! Because the moon disappears during the day and the sun during the night,” says the convoy’s guide.

“My God is the Creator. The One who created everything. The Unique one God … Guidance is in His hands. He guides whomever He wills and leaves in darkness whomever He wills,” Joseph explains.

Don't miss the ninth 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.
