This study aims to analyze the manifestations of Allah’s mercy in the story of Prophet Joseph from the perspective of As-Saʿdi’s Tafsīr Taysīr al-Karīm al-Raḥmān. This study employs a qualitative method using library research and a thematic exegetical approach. The primary sources are Surah Yusuf and Tafsīr Taysīr al-Karīm al-Raḥmān, while secondary sources include relevant books, scholarly articles, and other academic literature. The analysis focuses on the concepts of luṭf, raḥmah, and tarbiyah ilāhiyyah throughout the stages of Prophet Joseph’s life. The findings show that Allah’s mercy does not always manifest through the removal of hardship, but also through the divine arrangement of events that outwardly appear as difficulties. Allah’s luṭf is manifested through spiritual preparation before trials, protection during estrangement, preservation from temptation, and guidance during imprisonment. Meanwhile, raḥmah is manifested through the granting of knowledge, restoration of honor, tamkīn, family reconciliation, and the completion of divine blessings. These processes constitute a form of tarbiyah ilāhiyyah that leads Prophet Joseph toward spiritual and moral maturity. The pattern can be formulated as preparation, trial, protection, cultivation, maturity, tamkīn, reconciliation, and devotion to Allah.
