Prophet Ayoub

Ibn Ishaaq stated that he was a man of Rum.His name is Ayoub,Ibn Mose,Ibn Razeh,Ibn Esau,Ibn Is'haq (pbuh).Someone else said he was Ayoub,Ibn Mose,Ibn Rimil,Ibn Esau,Ibn Is'haq,Ibn Ayoub.There have also been other statements on his lineage.Ibn Asaker narrated that his mother was a daughter of lot (pbuh).It was said,also that his father was one who believed in Abraham (pbuh) when he was cast into the fire.

The first opinion is the most plausible,because he was a descendant of Abraham's offsping as Allah Almighty declared: "That was Our proof which We gave Abraham against his people.We raise whom We will in degrees.Centrainly your Lord is All-Wise,All Knowing.And We bestowednupon him Isaac and Ayoub ,each of them We guided and before him,We guided Noah,and among his progeny David,Solomon,Ayoub,Joseph,Moses,and Aaron.Thus do We reward the good doers.(6:83-84).

Allah the Almight praised His worshipper Ayoub in His Glorious Quran: Truly! We found him patient.How excellent a slave! Verily,he was ever oft retruning in repentace to Us! (38:44)
Ayoub (phub) was repentant,remebering Allah with thankfulness,patience,and steadfastness.This was the cause of his rescue and the secret of Allah's praising him.

A group of angels were discussing Allah's other human creatures,how those who were humble earned Allah's pleasure,while those who were arrogant incurred His displeasure.One of the angels remarked:'The best creature on earth yoday is ayoub,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.In retrun,his lord has blessed him with a long life and plenty of servants,as well as 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 receives his charity feel as if they are favoring him so kind and gentle is he."

Iblis overhearing all of this,become annoyed.He planned to tempt Ayoub to corruption and disbelief,so he hastened to him.He tried to distract Ayoub from his prayers by whispering hm about the good things in life but Ayoub was a true believer and would not let evil thoughts tempt him.This distrubed iblis even more,thus he began to hate Ayoub even more.
