He advised the people to perform good and shun evil. As usual with all the Prophets very few people believed in him in the beginning but gradually the number of his followers began to increase. Prophet Ayyoub was a very prosperous man. He had magnificent health, wealth, children, companions, land, and a supportive wife. He was a man with firm faith in Allah. He was also not an arrogant man. Prophet Ayyoub was living in comfort and peace until Allah (swt) decided to test Ayyoub. He suffered from a number of calamities but did not utter a single word of complaint. One day his big farm was attacked by the thieves. They killed many of his servants and carried away forcibly all his cattle. His roof collapsed on his family killing all of his children. All of his friends left him. His wife Raceme was the only one who helped him through all of his hardships. Ayyoub did not feel sorry of what happened to him. Instead he bent down in submission to Allah (swt) saying that “He is the one who gives and He is the one that takes.” He never cried or gave a deep sigh. He showed that his children and possessions were gifts from Allah. A few years later, Prophet Ayyoub (pbuh) suffered from a serious skin disease. His skin was covered wit sores all over and his skin was beginning to rot. His wife told him to make duaa to Allah and Prophet Ayyoub did. He said, “Truly adversity has afflicted me and You are Most Merciful of all who show mercy.” (21: 83) Allah turned to Prophet Ayyoub (pbuh) with mercy. Allah commanded Ayyoub to hit his foot on the ground and then water from the spring will come out. He took a bath in the water and got cured from the disease.
