The story of prophet Ayyub A.S

 Family Tree Of Prophet Ayyub

                                              Prophet Hazrat Ayyub A.S

Prophet Ayyub (Job) was a assignee of Prophet Ibrahim. Ayyub’s mama was the son of Prophet Lut and his woman was a direct assignee of Prophet Yusuf. Ayyub lived in Rome with his dear woman Rahma and fourteen children.

Ayyub was a Prophet who was immensely blessed by Allah — he was strong and healthy, had large plots of land, abundant beast, and a righteous and beautiful family; he was also a community leader who was largely reputed and loved by his people. Despite his status and wealth, Ayyub was Norway arrogant; he was always humble, he readily helped the deprived, and constantly thanked and glorified Allah for everything he was blessed with.

One day, grandly over in the welkin, the angels began agitating about the stylish of humans who lived on earth. An angel amongst them said,

.

“ The stylish critter on earth moment is Ayyub, a man of noble character who displays great tolerance and always remembers his Generous Lord. He's an excellent model for the worshippers of Allah. In return, his Lord has blessed him with a long life and plenitude of retainers; the indigent and the poor share in his good fortune — he feeds and clothes the poor and buys slaves to set them free. He makes those who admit his charity feel as if they're favoring him — so kind and gentle is he.”

Satan, who was in the vicinity, above the discussion and came veritably angry. He incontinently began conniving to bait Ayyub down from the deification of Allah. He rumored evil studies to Ayyub about the numerous pleasures of life that a man similar as Ayyub could fluently enjoy; but the Prophet was a sincere menial of Allah and wasn't fluently faltered — this maddened Satan further.

Satan approached Allah and informed Him that Ayyub wasn't a sincere menial of His and was only glorifying Him in fear of losing all his wealth. He, Satan, suggested, “ If You remove his wealth also You'll find that his lingo will no longer mention Your name and his soliciting will stop.” Allah, the All-Knowing, didn't believe Satan, for He knew that Ayyub was among His most sincere religionists and didn't worship his Lord for bare material effects. But He agreed to test Ayyub to show Satan the absolute sincerity of His pious menial. Overjoyed, Satan set out to destroy Prophet Ayyub’s wealth.

As time passed, Prophet Ayyub’s wealth began to dwindle — his land, beast, retainers, and plutocrat sluggishly finessed him until he was left with nothing.

Immensely satisfied with Ayyub’s fire, Satan, disguised as a wise old man, approached the Prophet and said, “ All your wealth is lost, some people say that it's because you gave too important charity and that you're wasting your time with your nonstop prayers to Allah. Others say that Allah has brought this upon you in order to please your enemies. However, also He'd have defended your wealth, If Allah had the capacity to help detriment.”

Ayyub replied, “ Allah gives whom He wills, and Allah takes from whom He wills. And all of the wealth that I've belongs to Allah, so He has every authority to take it back from me”. Ayyub also turned around and continued to thank and praise Allah.

Feeling rather frustrated, Satan returned to Allah and said, “ I've stripped Ayyub of all his effects, but he still remains thankful to You. Still, he's only hiding his disappointment. The real test of a parent is through his children. You'll see how Ayyub will reject You.” Allah still knew that Ayyub’s faith and love for his Lord won't waver, but He agreed to test Ayyub further.

Ahead long, the structure in which Ayyub’s children lived crashed killing all fourteen of his youthful, beautiful children. Satan formerly again visited Ayyub disguised as sympathizing observer, and remarked with anguish, “ The circumstances under which your children failed were sad. Surely, your Lord isn't satisfying you duly for all your prayers.”

Ayyub responded, “ Allah gives me what's good for me, and takes down what Allah sees that's disaffecting for Him and for me. Allah sees that all of these children may be a strong test & trial for me, so Allah took them down from me. Whether a thing is salutary or dangerous to me, I'll remain firm in my belief and remain thankful to my Creator.”

Satan rushed back to Allah and said, “ O my Lord, Ayyub’s wealth is gone, his children are dead, and he's still healthy in body, and as long as he enjoys good health he'll continue to worship You in expedients of recovering his wealth and producing further children. Grant me authority over his body so that I may weaken it. He'll surely neglect worshipping You and will therefore come defiant.”

Allah granted his request but instructed, “ I give you authority over his body but not over his soul, intellect or heart, for in these places live the knowledge of Me and My religion.”

Soon Later, Ayyub’s health began to deteriorate. He was so ill that the skin of his body used to fall off revealing his muscles and bone. But as Allah instructed, the only two organs that worked in his body were his heart and lingo — which he continued to use to glorify Allah. Ayyub suffered through severe pain, but he noway allowed himself to complain or falter in his belief in Allah.

The people of the megacity began agitating, “ If Ayyub was a good person, Allah would n’t have done this to him”. And ultimately, they abandoned him — his cousins, musketeers, and everyone who loved and admired Ayyub deserted him, except for Rahma, his cherished woman.

PROPHET AYYUB ’S LOVE FOR ALLAH

For times Ayyub continued to suffer through his condition, with none but Rahma by his side to take care of him. They had no plutocrat and no income, so his woman took up a job to give for him. But the people of the megacity didn't allow Rahma to work for long for they stressed that she'd torment them with the same illness as her hubby. Ayyub meanwhile, continued to supplicate to Allah to give him the strength and tolerance to endure this pain and suffering.

One day, Satan appeared before Rahma in the form of man and asked her, “ Where is your hubby?” Pointing at the nearly breathless figure of Ayyub, Rahma replied, “ There he is, suspended between life and death.”

Satan also went on to remind her of the joyful days of good health, children and wealth. Overwhelmed with the times of pain and difficulty, Rahma approached Ayyub and wailed, “ O Ayyub, you're the prophet and the runner of Allah. You have the closest relationship to Allah. Ask Allah to take you out of this detriment that you're in!”

Ayyub soughed and replied, “ Satan must have rumored to you and made you displeased. Tell me how long did I enjoy good health and riches?” His woman responded, “ eighty times or so.” He replied, “ For how long am I suffering like this?” She said, “ seven times.” Ayyub also said, “ In that case I'm shamed to call on my Lord to remove my difficulty, for I haven't suffered longer than the times of good health and plenitude. It seems your faith has weakened and you're displeased with the fate of Allah. However, I swear I'll discipline you with a hundred strokes! From this day onward, I prohibit myself to eat or drink anything by your hand, If I ever recapture health. Leave me alone and let my Lord do with me as He pleases.”

Feeling helpless Ayyub turned to Allah seeking His mercy. “ Verily, Satan has touched me with torture (by losing my health) and torment (by losing my wealth)!”, he supplicated. Allah incontinently responded to Ayyub’s hopeless call for help. Allah said, “ Strike the ground with your bottom This is a spring of water to wash in and cool and a stimulating drink.”

Ayyub incontinently performed Allah’s bidding. As he struck the ground with his bottom, cold water gushed at his bases. As commanded, Ayyub drank and washed his entire body using the water. Within a short while, Ayyub’s pocks faded, his skin renewed fully and his internal organs began performing. Indeed, Ayyub was fully cured by the grace of Allah!

.

Rahma, who couldn't stand to be down from her hubby any longer, returned home; as she entered their home, she was saluted by Ayyub whom she didn't honor.

She asked him, “ Where is Ayyub? Who are you? You look veritably analogous to him.” He replied smiling, “ It’s me!” Overjoyed, she incontinently embraced him and thanked Allah for His mercy.

Ayyub remembered his pledge to discipline his woman with a hundred strokes once he recaptured his health. He didn't want to hurt his cherished woman, nor did he want to break his pledge to Allah; so Allah, the Most Wise, instructed Ayyub, “ Take in your hand a pack of thin lawn and strike therewith your woman, and break not your pledge.”

Allah also restored Ayyub’s wealth. Allah transferred down a rain of locusts made of gold that fell each around Ayyub. When Ayyub began gathering the gold locusts, Allah asked him, “ O Ayyub! Have I not made you too rich to need what you see?” Ayyub replied, “ Yes, My Lord! But I can not duck Your Blessings.”

Ayyub and Rahma were also given back their family. The couple were blessed with twenty-eight beautiful, healthy children — fourteen girls and fourteen boys.

The story of Prophet Ayyub is one adversity mixed with tolerance. It's easy to be a faithful menial of Allah when everything is going well but his faith Norway faltered during delicate times which is what makes him a remarkable being.

And (for) their taking of usury while they had been interdicted from it, and their consuming of the people’s wealth unjustly. And we've prepared for the doubters among them a painful discipline. Abiding eternally therein. The discipline won't be lightened for them, nor will they be corrected. Indeed, We've revealed to you, (O Muhammad), as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the book (of Spirituals). (Surah Nisa Ayat 161-163)

They who believe and don't mix their belief with injustice – those will have security, and they're ( correctly) guided. And that was Our ( conclusive) argument which We gave Abraham against his people. We raise by degrees whom We will. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing. And We gave to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – all (of them) We guided. And Noah, We guided ahead; and among his descendants, David and Solomon and Job and Joseph and Moses and Aaron. Therefore do We award the doers of good (Surah Anam Ayat 82-84).

And ( citation) Job, when he called to his Lord, “ Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you're the Utmost Merciful of the merciful.” So We responded to him and removed what tormented him of adversity. And We gave him ( back) his family and the suchlike thereof with them as mercy from Us and a memorial for the worshippers (of Allah). (Surah Anbiya Ayat 83-84)

And remember Our menial Job, when he called to his Lord, “ Indeed, Satan has touched me with difficulty and torment.” ( So he was told), “ Strike (the ground) with your bottom; this is a ( spring for) a cool bath and drink.” And We granted him his family and a suchlike ( number) with them as mercy from Us and a memorial for those of understanding. (We said), “ And take in your hand a bunch (of lawn) and strike with it and don't break your pledge.” Indeed, We plant him patient, an excellent menial. Indeed, he was one constantly turning back (to Allah). And remember Our retainers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – those of strength and ( religious) vision. Indeed, We chose them for an exclusive quality remembrance of the home (of the Hereafter). (Surah Sad 41-46)
