The Hardship and Patience of Prophet Ayyub Job

Prophet Ayyub (known in English as Job) was, however, the subject of a great trial and great suffering. However, this did not mean that he did not have a high degree according to the judgment of Allah. On the contrary, it was a trial on the part of his Lord, a trial for him to increase his reward and his retribution.

Eid Al Aḍ-ḥā Eid al-kebir 2026 1447 H

The Aḍ-ḥā ʿId is one of the great days of the year on which the pilgrim fulfils the obligations of Hajj. It is also recommended for the pilgrim to offer a sacrifice on that day, with the intention to gain rewards from Allâh, the Exalted. This act is a regularly practised sunnah by the Prophet. Hence, the pilgrim and the non-pilgrim can practise this sunnah. This is evidenced in the ayah: فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ the meaning of which is: « Perform the ʿId Prayer and offer a sacrifice seeking reward from Allâh. »

Preservation, Attributes and Characteristics of Prophets and Messengers

All the prophets are Muslims and have called people to Islam. They are truthful, honest and extremely intelligent. It is impossible for the prophets to lie, betray, and be stupid. They are protected from blasphemy, major sins and degrading minor sins. They all have a beautiful face and a beautiful voice. They are protected from repulsive diseases that would drive people away from them.

Preservation and Characteristics of Prophets and Messengers

God created the Prophets and made them the best created beings. He sent them to teach people what was useful to them in this life and the afterlife. Thus, Allah has endowed them with laudable characteristics and good behavior. All that is not worthy of the rank of prophecy is impossible about them.

Riya’ Insincerity the Sin of the Heart

The heart is the leader of the organs ; if the heart is devoted to piety then the rest of the organs will follow its lead, and consequently, the person will become pious ; likewise, if the heart is corrupted, the rest of the organs will follow in corruption, and consequently, the person will become a sinner. So fear Allâh and work for the Day of Judgement, the day which Allâh described in the Qur’ân as being: « The day where assets and offspring serve no benefit, only the one who has come with a sound heart will profit. »

Laws and Rules of inheritance in Islam

It is invalid to divide the inheritance of a deceased person or to sell the inheritance until the debts and the zakât which was obligatory on him have been fulfilled. Something may be sold to pay off a debt or fulfill the will. The expenses of performing Hajj and ʿUmrah on behalf of the deceased must be taken out if the Hajj and ʿUmrah were obligatory on him and he did not perform them. The inheritance is like a collateral held for that purpose.
