Prophet Ayyub

Ayyub was a prophet from the descendants of Abraham, who was first given abundant wealth, a large family, and health.Then God tested him in tribulation: his wealth was exhausted, his children died, and his body was afflicted with diseases for many years until a man kept away from him — only his faithful wife cared for.

In the long pain, Ayyub did not denounce the fate, and his prayer was complacent, without protest, saying, "I have indeed been afflicted, and You are the Most Merciful of all the merciful." He did not ask, but only mention his condition and praised his Lord.

God commanded him to shake his feet, to pour out cold springs for bathing and drinking, and to heal him.Allah restored his family and multiplied it as a mercy from Him and a reminder for the wise.In order to fulfill his oath to his wife without hurting her, God gave the righteousness: to strike with a piece of grass—a gentleness of law for a righteous servant.

Ayyub proves that disaster is not a sign of Allah's hatred; In fact, the test raises the status of the contented servant. His prayer manners taught him how to complain without suing, and his wife's loyalty taught him the meaning of a pious companion in the storms of life.

Ayyub was a servant who was rich, healthy, and had many descendants, but Allah tested him by spending his wealth, the death of his children, and chronic illnesses all over his body. For years, he endured suffering without the slightest complaint to anyone other than Allah, still doing dhikr and being patient, until he became a symbol of patience throughout the ages.

Ayyub prayed with high etiquette, without demanding, "Indeed, I have been struck by illness, and You are the Most Merciful God among the merciful." Allah answered, "Strike your feet; this is cool water for bathing and drinking." His illness was cured, his property and family were returned double as a mercy and warning to the worshipers. He was ordered to fulfill his oath in a light manner - "and We found him a patient man; the best of servants, indeed he was very obedient."

Ayyub taught that patience does not mean remaining silent without praying, but rather remaining dedicated to Allah at the peak of suffering, complaining only to Him with adab. Trials are a sign of Allah's love for chosen servants, and a good ending always accompanies patience.
