In the Koran, the story of Joseph is told in a different meaning. The story of Joseph was a major part of the Koran, however, the points that are emphasized by the Koran are utterly different than that of the Old Testament. In the Koran's adaptation of the story, Joseph acts as a manual to everyone interacts with. The interpretation of the dreams of the prisoners in the jail is an example of the need to spread monotheism. This serves as one of the key differences in the two accounts. In the case of the Old Testament the interpretation of the two dreams deals with the prosperity. It provides little significance other than Joseph's ability to interpret dreams. This is exemplified when he predicts the butler returning his service to the Pharaoh.
