00:00:00
Animals: Assalamu Alaikum.
00:00:04
Yusuf: Walaikum Assalam.
00:00:07
How are you children?
00:00:12
Animals: Alhamdulillah, we are fine.
00:00:19
We like to hear prophet stories from you.
00:00:29
Yusuf: Ok, Mashallah.
00:00:32
That's very good.
00:00:36
The stories of the prophet are important for
all Muslims.
00:00:43
Insallah, today we will learn about the story
of Prophet Ayub (puh).
00:00:48
Are you ready for that?
00:00:51
Animals: Yessssss.
00:00:52
Yusuf: Ok, let start.
00:00:55
Bismillah.
00:00:57
Prophet Ayuob's English name is Prophet Job
(pbuh).
00:01:05
In Quran Allah did not mention detail about
his message and people.
00:01:12
Because Allah (swt) wanted to teach us different
lessons from his life which was put in very
00:01:20
difficult test.
00:01:21
He was from the family of Ishaq (pbuh).
00:01:25
And his wife was from the family of Lut (pbuh).
00:01:29
Prophet Ayub (pbuh) was very good looking
and he had very good health.
00:01:34
In all condition, he always thankful to Allah
(T) and had patience all the time.
00:01:41
So Allah (T) blessed him with wealth, children
and health.
00:01:49
He always feed and clothe the poor and bought
slaves to set them free.
00:01:54
He was very kind and gentle to others.
00:01:58
He was an best example for the worshippers
of Allah (T).
00:02:02
One day Allah (T) decided to test him and
his faith about Allah (T).
00:02:11
So he destroyed prophet Ayoub's cattle, servants
and farms and make him very poor.
00:02:21
At that condition Iblis came to him as wise
old man and tried to convince that he became
00:02:30
poor because of too much charity and pray
to Allah is wasting time because he did not
00:02:38
protect your wealth.
00:02:39
But prophet Ayoub (pbuh) had very strong faith
on Allah (T).
00:02:46
He replied Iblis that, the owner of all his
wealth was Allah (T).
00:02:52
He was just temporary caretaker of the wealth.
00:02:57
Prophet Ayoub prayed to Allah (T) as before.
00:02:59
Animal: That's mean he passed the test?
00:03:02
Yusuf: Alhamdulillah, yes he pass the test.
00:03:09
But this time Allah (T) put him in difficult
test.
00:03:15
He killed all of his children one by one.
00:03:22
Than Iblis came to him in human form and tried
to convince to stop praying and reject Allah.
00:03:30
Iblis thought this time he could win prophet
Ayoub's heart.
00:03:36
But Ayoub (pbuh)'s strong faith in Allah (T)
reject Iblis and said, Allah (T) sometime
00:03:45
gives and sometimes takes.
00:03:48
He know what is good for us and what is bad
for us.
00:03:51
So I will keep believe on my creator Allah
(T) and remain thankful to him.
00:04:00
Prophet Ayoub (pbuh) prayed to Allah (T) as
before.
00:04:05
Animal: So, that's mean he passed the second
test, too?
00:04:11
Yusuf: Yes, after losing all of his lovely
children, he still keep on faith on Allah
00:04:19
(T).
00:04:20
This time Allah (T) put him in most hardest
test.
00:04:26
He destroyed prophet Ayoub's Health.
00:04:30
His body filled with disease.
00:04:33
His skin and bone suffered with extreme pain.
00:04:36
But he remained strong in his faith and kept
patience without any complaining.
00:04:45
He remained hopeful of Allah(T)'s mercy.
00:04:49
He condition was so bad that even his close
relatives and friends left him.
00:04:57
Only his kind, loving wife stayed with him.
00:05:01
She was very kindness and cared for him.
00:05:04
In his many years of suffering she did not
left him.
00:05:09
During this suffering Allah (T) protected
his heart and tongue.
00:05:14
With these two organ he still kept glorified
the Almighty Allah (T) all the time day and
00:05:25
night.
00:05:26
Animal: So what the Iblis did this time?
00:05:28
Yusuf: Iblis realized that prophet Ayoub's
faith was very strong so this time he went
00:05:36
to Ayoub (pbuh)'s wife in the form of a man
and asked,
00:05:42
" Where is your husband?"
00:05:46
She pointed to prophet's almost lifeless body,
which was between life and death.
00:05:53
Iblis reminded her the old days, when prophet
Ayoub's had good health, wealth and children.
00:06:01
Suddenly the painful memory of many years
of hardship weak her and her eyes filled with
00:06:09
tears.
00:06:11
She came to prophet Ayoub (pbuh) and asked,
" How long will you suffer like this?
00:06:17
Are we to remain without wealth, children
or friends forever?
00:06:22
Why don't you request Allah (T) to remove
this suffering?"
00:06:28
Prophet Ayoub (pbuh) became sad.
00:06:31
With his soft voice he replied, Iblis must
came to her and made her unhappy.
00:06:39
He asked her how long did he enjoy good health
and riches?
00:06:44
She replied, " Eighty years."
00:06:48
Then Ayoub (pbuh) replied: "How long am I
suffering like this?"
00:06:54
She said: "seven years."
00:06:58
Then Ayoub (pbuh) told her, in that case he
was ashamed to request his lord to remove
00:07:06
the suffering because he had good life many
years but he had bad time in his life only
00:07:17
few years.
00:07:18
That time he was very upset on his wife.
00:08:20
Even he swear that, if he became healthy again,
he would punish her with a hundred strokes.
00:08:28
From that day he stop eat and drink anything
by her hand and told her to leave the house.
00:08:37
In that condition he only seek his mercy on
Allah (T).
00:08:42
With very sad heart she started to crying
and left him alone.
00:08:49
He was very sad that he asked Allah (T) to
save him from the Iblis.
00:08:55
Allah (T) accepted his call to remove his
suffering.
00:08:58
He order prophet Ayub (pbuh) to strike the
ground with his foot.
00:09:04
Suddenly miracle spring water came.
00:09:07
He drink the water and washed himself with
that water.
00:09:11
He get his good health immediately.
00:09:15
In the meantime, his faithful wife became
very sorry and could not stay separate from
00:09:22
his loving husband.
00:09:25
So she returned to him.
00:09:27
after entering the house, she was surprise
to see her husband.
00:09:33
He became healthy again.
00:09:36
She hugged him and thanked Allah (T) for his
mercy.
00:09:40
He became happy to see her wife but became
worried about his oath which he took to punish
00:09:49
her with a hundred strokes if he get his health
again.
00:09:53
He did not wanted to hurt her.
00:09:55
But he knew if he did not fulfill the oath,
he would be guilty of breaking a promise to
00:10:01
Allah (T).
00:10:03
In this difficult moment the merciful Allah
(T) solved the problem.
00:10:13
He ordered prophet Ayub (pbuh) to strike with
a bundle of thin grass so she did not hurt.
00:10:20
This way prophet Ayub (pbuh) fulfill his oath.
00:10:24
So Allah (T) return his children as a double
number.
00:10:30
And get back his wealth and more.
00:10:33
Once when he was taking a bath, gold was falling
on him.
00:10:39
He started to collecting them in his garment.
00:10:41
Allah (T) called him, " O Ayub!
00:10:45
I made you very rich, then why are you collecting
this gold?"
00:10:53
He said: "Yes, My Lord!
00:10:54
But I cannot ignore Your Blessings.
00:10:57
Some scholars says, he had 14 sons and 3 daughters.
00:11:03
And lived for 99 years.
00:11:06
But Allah knows best.
