Tafsir of Al-Qur'an Verses about Allah's Tests to the Prophet Ayyub Alaihissalam

Abstract

The problems raised in this research are: How did Allah test Prophet Ayyub Alaihissalam in the Qur'an, the method taken by Prophet Ayyub a.s. in facing tests, and what ibrah (lessons) can be taken from the story of the Prophet Ayub a.s. This research is a type of library research, while the method used is thematic interpretation method, and the main sources are the Al-Qur'an and tafsir books. Additional sources are books related to this research. Researchers examined the verses of the Qur'an which include Allah's test to the Prophet Ayub a.s. in the Al-Qur'an, and after analyzing the verses of the Al-Qur'an and the interpretations of the commentators, researchers concluded that the trials that befell the Prophet Ayub (a.s.) in the Al-Qur'an consisted of three parts: the loss of all his wealth, separation from his children, and a serious illness that befell his body. The Prophet Job's attitude in facing these trials consisted of five attitudes, namely: extraordinary patience, gratitude for what befell him, always remembering Allah, not complaining, and continuing to pray and praise Allah. Then, at the end of the study, the researcher took lessons from the story of the Prophet Job (peace be upon him), namely: patience in facing trials, gratitude in all circumstances, the importance of remembrance and prayer to Allah, not despairing of Allah's mercy, and the belief that Allah does not forget His pious servants.
