12. Yusuf/Prophet Joseph
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

Alif. Lam. Ra’.
These are the Messages of the Clear Book – The Qur’an.
12:02
Truly WE have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an,
so that you people may understand its meaning, and message and practice it.
12:03
WE are now going to recount to you the best of narratives of the ancient past in what WE have revealed on to you – of this Qur’an,
though before it, you were indeed of the unaware of the details of this narrative.
12:04
It is a narrative of the occasion when Joseph said to his father:
‘O my dear father!
Truly, I saw in a dream eleven stars, and the sun, and the moon.
I saw them prostrating themselves before me.’
12:05
He said:
‘O my dear son!
Do not narrate your dream to your brothers, lest they hatch some plot against you out of jealousy.
Surely, Satan is a clear enemy to man’ and can incite them to do such a thing.
12:06
‘In this way, your Rabb -The Lord is going to choose you O Joseph, as a Prophet,
and teach you the interpretation and explanation of the events/dreams,
and thus confer HIS Favors upon you and upon the Family of Jacob,
as HE conferred it before upon your forefathers, Abraham and Isaac.
Indeed, your Rabb - The Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise.’
12:07
In fact, in this narrative of Joseph and his eleven brothers, there are lessons for those seeking answers.
12:08
Remember...
Allah Almighty sent prophets for guidance of human beings and revealed the books on them, who strove for transformation of the society. Islam declared that master and salve, king and subjects, men and women, all are equal and slaves of God. They are equal before the Law. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said ‘‘All human beings have equal rights’’. The Holy Prophet maintained religious equality. He did not talk ill of other religious faiths, rather he protected the rights and prosperity of non-Muslims who lived in Islamic society. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) preached goodness among humans like truth and compassion. He also restricted them from vice like lie, betray, greed, pride, bribery and domestic evils. For being the last Ummah, the Holy Quran entrusted the Muslims with the mission of calling others to goodness and stopping them from the evil. This Paper attempts the role of Islamic teachings the transformation of the society.
Metamaterials (MTM) are composite materials that provide some unique characteristics which are not available by nature. But there is one major drawback or limitation of MTM which is its fixed and narrow working frequency region. To overcome this limitation, there are few techniques, presented in this thesis, to vary the working frequency band of MTM. As MTM are artificial materials, so there are various resonators available in literature, presented for MTM. In this thesis, three resonators, split ring resonator (SRR), S-shaped resonator (SSR) and single side paired S-ring resonator (SSPSRR) have been chosen from literature and different techniques to shift their resonant frequencies are presented. For SRR, a tunable case i.e., inner ring shorted split ring resonator (IRS-SRR) is pre- sented in this thesis. The analytical expression of the effective permeability of IRS-SRR is calculated and for the verification of the analytical work, the experimental results are also included in this thesis. The analytical expression for the effective permeability of SSR is also presented in this thesis. Two tunable or modified cases of SSR, i.e., bottom metallic strips shorted S-shaped resonator (BSSR) and top-bottom metallic strips shorted S-shaped resonator (TBSSR) are presented in this thesis. The analytical expressions of the effective permeabilities of BSSR and TBSSR are also calculated. For verification of the analytical work of SSR, BSSR and TBSSR, experimental results are included in this thesis. Similar to SSR, the analytical expression of the effective permeability of SSPSRR is presented in this thesis and the experimental results are also included to verify the analytical work. Two tunable cases of SSPSRR, i.e., bottom metallic strips shorted single side paired S- ring resonator (B-SSPSRR) and top-bottom metallic strips shorted single side paired S-ring resonator (TB-SSPSRR), are also presented in this thesis along with experimental results. Other than the tunable cases of various resonators, rotation of resonators is presented in this thesis as a technique to vary the working frequency of MTM. This technique has been applied on SSR, SSPSRR and their respective tunable cases in this thesis and the vexperimental results are presented for justification of this technique. There are number of devices (made using MTM), are available in literature. All these devices can be upgraded to work as tunable devices using the techniques presented in this thesis.
