Islamic Folklore The Biography of Prophet Ayyub AS (Job) Bilingual Version English Germany Ebook Edition.

 Prophet Ayyub AS (Job) was a descendant of Prophet Ibrahim AS (Abraham). Ayyub's mother was the daughter of Prophet Luth AS and his wife was a direct descendant of Prophet Yusuf AS. Prophet Ayyub AS (Job) lived in Rome (Rum) with his dear wife Rahma and fourteen children.

Ayyub was a Prophet who was immensely blessed by Allah SWT (God) he was strong and healthy, had large plots of land, abundant livestock, and a righteous and beautiful family; he was also a community leader who was highly respected and loved by his people. Despite his status and wealth, Prophet Ayyub AS (Job) was never arrogant; he was always humble, he readily helped the deprived, and constantly thanked and glorified Allah SWT (God) for everything he was blessed with.

 One day, high up in the heavens, the angels (malaikah) began discussing about the best of humans who lived on earth. An angel amongst them said,

'The best creature on earth today is Prophet Ayyub AS (Job), a man of noble character who displays great patience and always remembers his Generous Lord. He is an excellent model for the worshippers of Allah SWT (God). In return, his Lord has blessed him with a long life and plenty of servants; the needy 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 receive his charity feel as if they are favouring him- so kind and gentle is he.'

Iblis (Satan), who was in the vicinity, overhead the discussion and became very angry. He immediately began plotting to lure Prophet Ayyub AS away from the worship of Allah SWT (God). He whispered evil thoughts to Ayyub about the many pleasures of life that a man such as Ayyub could easily enjoy; but the Prophet was a sincere servant of Allah SWT and was not easily faltered.
