Prophet Ayyub (a)
The Prophet Ayyub had
been a wealthy man.
He was a very good
man but he lost his family
and his wealth.
He became ill and had terrible
sores all over his body.
However he never gave up.
He spent his time praying.
He was very patient and
always kept his faith in Allah.
Eventually Allah showed mercy.
He told Ayyub to strike the earth
with his foot and miraculously
a fountain appeared.
He drank the water and used
it to wash his body.
All his sores were healed
and everything was returned
to him as before.
Allah had rewarded him for
keeping his faith despite the
terrible afflictions he
had tested him with.
