Prophet Ayyub (Job) - in the Quran

Ayyub (Job) is considered a prophet in Islam and is mentioned in the Quran. He is known for his patience and steadfastness in the face of trials and tribulations.

According to Islamic tradition, Ayyub was a wealthy man who lived in the land of Uz. He was a pious and righteous man who always remembered Allah and was grateful for the blessings that he had been given. However, Satan, in an attempt to lead him astray, tested him by taking away his wealth, his health, and his family. Despite these severe tests, Ayyub remained patient and steadfast in his faith, trusting in Allah and never losing hope.

Allah eventually restored Ayyub's health and wealth, and he was blessed with even greater blessings than before. The story of Ayyub is often cited as an example of the importance of patience and trust in Allah during difficult times, and his story is frequently mentioned in Islamic literature and poetry as a source of inspiration and comfort.

Here are several verses in the Quran that mention Prophet Ayyub (Job):

Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 83: "And [mention] Job, when he called to his Lord, 'Indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the Most Merciful of the merciful.'"

This verse briefly mentions Prophet Ayyub and his prayer to Allah during a time of adversity.

Surah Saad, Verses 41-44: "And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, 'Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment.' [So he was told], 'Strike [the ground] with your foot; this is a [spring for] a cool bath and drink.' And We granted him his family and a like [number] with them as mercy from Us and a reminder for those of understanding. [We said], 'And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath.' Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah]."

These verses mention the story of Prophet Ayyub, including his call to Allah during a time of hardship and the blessings that Allah granted him in response to his patience and faithfulness.

Surah Sad, Verse 44: "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath.' Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah]."

This verse is a continuation of the story of Ayyub from the previous verses in Surah Saad, emphasizing his patience and faithfulness to Allah.

Surah An-Nisa, Verse 163: "Indeed, We have 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 Psalms]."

This verse mentions Prophet Ayyub along with a list of other prophets, emphasizing their importance and the divine revelation they received from Allah.
