In Surah Hud, we have the stories of Prophets Noah, Salih, Hud, Lot, Shuaib and Moses. The basic point is that Allah sent His Prophets and Messengers to mankind out of His grace and mercy, but when people did not listen to the Prophets and rejected their message, then Allah's punishment came and came relentlessly. It did not make any difference whether someone was the son of a Prophet or his wife or any one, none could escape Allah’s judgment.

The basic theme of Surah Yusuf is to emphasize that all Prophets were human beings and their messages were similar. They were also highly moral beings. This is the way all believers should be.  The Prophets trusted in Allah and in the end Allah's plans did succeed.
