The story can give us insight into Qurʾānic models of sexuality and gender and an understanding of hegemonic masculinity. In Surah Yusuf, a Prophet, who is very different from other prophets in the Qurʾān, is encountered, but the tradition shows that prophets are chosen to guide other human beings to God, according to the Qurʾān . Yusuf is similar to other Prophets in that his story conveys God's message, but also he is demonstrated in a biography that "begins and ends with God. For this reason all prophets are equal: their sole purpose is to highlight God's divinity but not their own significance over against other prophets."
