In this episode, we explore verse 21 of Surah Yusuf, uncovering its deeper message about divine will: the angels smile when people try to elevate someone whom Allah does not wish to raise, and when Allah elevates someone whom people try to hold back. This serves as a reminder that no intention or effort can override the will of Allah (SWT), and that His wisdom governs every outcome, no matter how things may appear on the surface.
