    45. By this is meant when he reached his full prime. Prime of life begins at the age of eighteen and ends at forty. From forty years to sixty years is regarded as middle age while sixty to one hundred years is called old age. This is regarding those days when people were given long life span. Here, the word "full strength" signifies twenty years.

    46. Allah Almighty blessed Hazrat Yusuf (on whom be peace) with inspired knowledge, directly teaching him without worldly knowledge of jurisprudence and pious action. Prophethood is blessed with inspired knowledge. Regarding Hazrat Khizr (on whom be peace) it is said: "And We bestowed upon him Our inspired knowledge". (S18:V65)

    while regarding our Holy Prophet? Allah Almighty says: "And  He has taught you what you did not know" (S4:V113) .

    And further it is stated: "The Most Affectionate, Taught the QUR'AAN to His Beloved" (S55 Vs1-2) Thus no man of wordly knowledge can be equal to the knowledge of a Prophet, because these people are tutored by worldly teachers while the Prophets are students of Allah Almighty.

    20. By the use of such words as the Quran usually means, We bestowed on him Prophethood, for the Arabic word hukmun stands for both judgment and authority and ilmun stands for that knowledge which is directly revealed to the Prophets by Allah. Thus, the Arabic words of the text will mean: We gave him the power and the authority and the knowledge needed for judging rightly the affairs of the people.

    (22) And when he [i.e., Joseph] reached maturity, We gave him judgement and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good.
