Prophet Ayyub (Job) [A.S]

Prophet Ayyub (A.S) was a descendant of Prophet Ibraaheem (A.S). He lived in an area in the North-eastern part of Arabia called Huran, near Palestine.

Allah sent him as His Messenger to the area of Huran to teach its people Tawheed and to guide them to the Straight Path. Most of the people of Huran did not believe in Allah. They were very selfish. They did not help the needy or the Orphans. They did not feed the hungry. Prophet Ayyub (A.S) spent his days and nights calling them to believe in Allah. He warned them of the Day of Judgement.

Ayyub (A.S) was a very rich man. He had cattle, slaves, servants and a lot of lands and property. Allah had blessed Ayyub (A.S) with many comforts. His house was on a vast piece of land. There were fruit gardens with rows of towering trees. He possessed fields, which produced many kinds of vegetables. In the fields around his house, Ayyub (A.S) and his family kept animals.
