Ayyub A.S was a Prophet of Allah from the descendant of Ibrahim A.S
He was blessed with everything that a man can desire in this world;good health,family & plenty of wealth,But he suddenly lost them all as a test from Allah

Allah had granted Ayoub A.S great wealth in the form of lands, herds and servants, and he had a devoted family. With all that, he was a humble man of great piety, constantly glorifying and devoutly thanking his Lord.

Allah then tested him with a series of calamities.

Allah first tested Ayyub A.S by suddenly stripping away all his wealth and property. But Ayyub A.S remained firm and constant, not shattered or even shaken by this disaster, and continued to glorify his Lord.

Allah then took the lives of Ayyub A.S's many children. This too did not change him, and he continued to be steadfast in service and devotion to his Lord. Ayyub A.S was a patient man. His patience is Exampelary.

Allah then took away his health, afflicting him with terrible pain and suffering, and such loathsome ailments that people shunned him. Still Ayyub A.S's faith and serenity remained undisturbed, for his heart was with Allah.

Prophet Ayoub A.S was a man who lost everything - his children, wealth and his health, but he never lost his faith on Allah.

Ayyub A.S disease lasted so long that his companions left him and visitors were disgusted by him. They expelled him from his city and threw him onto a refuse heap outside the city, and people abandoned him and boycotted him. No one remained sympathetic to him except his wife.

Wife of Ayoub A.S would care for him and always recall his earlier good treatment of her and his love of her.
Ibn kathir Narrates:
“So she nursed him and looked after his welfare and helped him to fulfil his needs and stood by him.

His condition deteriorated and her money decreased to the point at which she served people for wages to feed him and provide for his other needs, may Allah be pleased with her, and she was very patient with all that occurred as their wealth and children were taken away from them

In addition to the calamity of her husband, she suffered from lack of means, and was obliged to serve people after having had wealth and happiness and servants and honour.

Ayyub A.S remained in his trial for many years.
Some claim his illness lasted three years, others claim seven years, and others claim eighteen years but Allah knows best.

One day, Allah removed his affliction from him & he was as sound as he had been previously. When his wife saw him she said, “May Allah bless you, have you seen the prophet of Allah who was ill here? & by Allah,I have not seen a man more similar to him when he was healthy than you

Ayyub A.S said, “Indeed, I am he!”.
Allah says in Qur'an:
Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah]. (Qur’an 38:44)

In his suffering and loneliness, Ayyub A.S cried to Allah, saying,

"Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful." (Qur’an 21:83)

Allah accepted his prayer and removed his affliction.

Lesson: Patience & steadfastness.

May Allah’s best blessings and peace be upon this Patient Prophet Ayyub A.S.
