Abstract This study aims to reveal the prisoner’s narrative in (Surat Yusuf), as it studies the linguistic signs and their connotations in the narrative elements: (character, time, and space). The character was studied according to the following division: character description (external and internal), then study Personality determinants (the signifier and the signified). This study was applied to the character of Yusuf, peace be upon him, and the two young men who accompanied him in his prison, as mentioned in Surat Yusuf. Then followed by a study of (space and time) and their impact on the prisoner and his relationship with this punitive place. The research’s problem lies in highlighting the narrative features of the prisoner in the Qur’anic story. The research relied on the mechanisms of the semiotic approach in dividing the previous topics. As for the results of this research, the most important of them are focusing on the essence of the personality and its function, not on its external form. The role and responsibility of the Prophet appeared even in the darkest and harshest circumstances, as well as the emergence of some characteristics that confirm the humanity of the prophets, and then the unique ending of the prisoner who proves his innocence and maintains his right and status. Space and time were limited in terms and meaning, which is consistent with the punitive prison and its conditions. Keywords: Narration, Narrative elements, Prisoner, Semiotics, Sura Yusuf
