Our Master Ayoub, peace be upon him
He
is Job bin Mose bin Zarah bin Isaac, from the descendants of Abraham,
peace be upon him. God Almighty said (And from his descendants were
David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron). The Prophet of God, Job,
peace be upon him, is a prophet who was inspired to him and one of the
greatest prophets. God Almighty said (And We revealed to Abraham and
Ishmael And Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and Jesus, and Job) The
Prophet of God, Job, was married to his cousin, Rahma, daughter of
Joseph bin Jacob, peace be upon them both.
The life of Job, peace be upon him, before his three ordeals
What did God bestow upon His Prophet Ayoub?
Ayoub,
peace be upon him, was sent to Harran, and the Holy Qur’an did not
address his preaching life, but rather mentioned some of his
characteristics. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar narrated that Ayoub, peace be upon
him, had aspects of Damascus that he possessed, and that was one of the
blessings of God Almighty upon him, but those aspects were taken away
from him little by little, and he was patient and patient. He continued
to pray to people for seventy years, during which he was of great piety.
He benefited people and treated them kindly. He took care of orphans
and honored guests. He did not accept to sleep full while someone was
hungry or to be well, while others around were suffering from financial
hardship. So God Almighty bestowed goodness upon Ayoub, peace be upon
him. Abundant, and Job fulfilled the rights of God Almighty and was
thankful for Him.

| The story of our master Job, peace be upon him |
The three ordeals of our master Job:
What happened to Job, peace be upon him?
It
was mentioned in the Holy Qur’an that the Prophet of God, Job, peace be
upon him, was subjected to a test of adversity, and God Almighty
praised him in His saying (Indeed, we found him patient. How excellent
is the servant. Indeed, he is steadfast). After God Almighty tested him
with blessings and he paid thanks for them, he succeeded in that test in
terms of his children, his health, and his money. At first he lost his
money and then He lost his children, and finally his health was
afflicted. The scholars differed regarding the affliction that befell
his body, and he lived through these tribulations for a long time. The
scholars differed in determining the duration of the period between
three years and eighteen years, according to some sayings.
Prophet Job remained alone:
Who stayed with Job, peace be upon him?
All
the people turned away from the Prophet of God, Job, peace be upon him,
after God Almighty afflicted him. He remained alone, and no one
remained with him except his wife. She was extremely keen on his
recovery, seeking medicine for him as much as she could.
Our Master Job’s wife consoled him
How did the wife of our Prophet Ayoub show her patience during the calamity?
She
was the wife of Ayoub, peace be upon him, and yes, she served him and
helped him with all patience and consideration. It was narrated that she
used to work for people so that she and her husband could manage her
affairs and so that she could treat her husband, until the matter
reached the point of affliction that people refused to work with her for
fear that she would be a cause of death. Transmitting the infection to
them.
The patience of Ayoub and his wife
What did Job answer when he was asked to pray to God to reveal the calamity?
Job,
peace be upon him, was patient when the affliction befell him. When his
wife asked him to pray to his Lord to remove the affliction, he told
her that God had bestowed upon them a long period of time, so how could
he not be patient with the tribulations they were afflicted with? On the
authority of the great companion Ibn Abbas, he said, “Ayoub’s wife said
to Job: You A man responded to the invitation, so pray to God to heal
you. He said: We were in bliss for seventy years, so let us be in
calamity for seventy years. He said, so he remained in that calamity for
seven years, and all she had to do was patience and sympathy for her
husband, doing her best to help her husband, and spending on her
household without deviating. By right.

| Job's patience in the face of adversity and trials |
Ayoub's wife sold her hair
How did Ayoub's wife play her role in patience?
After
Ayoub’s wife, peace be upon him, lost her job opportunities and people
refused to treat her, she cut her braid and sold it to one of the
nobles’ daughters, in exchange for a generous share of food. Then she
cut the second braid and sold it to support her husband, Ayoub, peace be
upon him.
The
position of our Master Job regarding his wife’s actions. What did Job,
peace be upon him, do upon learning of his wife selling her hair?
When Job,
peace be upon him, learned that his wife sold her two braids of her
hair to help him and support him, he was greatly hurt and saddened by
the situation his wife had reached. Then he decided to pray to God
Almighty to remove from them the affliction that made his wife do
anything that God Almighty had made permissible to help her husband and
so that he could pass this test with complete patience. And the
calculation.
What supplication was known about Job, peace be upon him?
After
the expiry of the appointed time of God Almighty for afflicting Job
with adversity, and with the facilitation and appreciation of God, Job
called upon his Lord to remove from him the calamity that befell his
body, his property, and his children, when God Almighty said: (And Job,
when he called upon his Lord, “Indeed, adversity has touched me, and You
are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.” And God Almighty said
in another place, “And remember Our servant. Job, when he called out to
his Lord, “Indeed, Satan has afflicted me with calamity and torment.” It
shows the manners of Job, peace be upon him, in his supplication to his
Lord Almighty in attributing harm to Satan.
What did God Almighty reward Job, peace be upon him?
God
Almighty responded to the supplication of His Prophet Ayoub, peace be
upon him, and relieved him and his wife’s distress, and God lifted the
calamity from them. The Almighty said: (Run with your foot; this is a
cool place to wash and drink.)
So
God Almighty commanded him to strike his foot on the ground so that a
spring of water would emerge, so he would bathe in it and recover from
any affliction that had befallen his body. He struck his foot in another
place and a spring of water would appear, so God Almighty commanded him
to drink from it. Thus, health was perfect in him, peace be upon him,
and his patience with the loss of the child was rewarded by God
restoring his family to him. And the same is with them, as God Almighty
said (And We bestowed upon him his family, and the like of them with
them, as a mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding) and
the scholars differed on the method of returning his family to him,
according to sayings which are:
•
They were given life through their livelihoods and the provision of God
Almighty like them in the life of this world. This is the saying of Ibn
Abbas, Ibn Masoud and Mujahid.
•
He, peace be upon him, had the choice between bringing his children
with their own selves or leaving them in Paradise rather than bringing
someone like them, so he chose that they remain in Paradise and that
someone like them be brought in this worldly life.
•
God Almighty gave him a reward for losing his children in the
afterlife, and God Almighty blessed him with people like them in this
life.
Despite
the differences in opinions, the agreement was that he was rewarded
with a doubling of God Almighty’s material and moral blessings for the
patience and consideration he provided during the period during which
God afflicted him. As for his wife, she was restored to the stage of
youth.
