Briefly looking at the life and long difficult trials of Prophet Ayyoob (as) and extracting lessons and benefits for the Muslims today who are surrounded and submerged in trials from all directions.

"The people who are tested the most severely are the Prophets, then the righteous, then the next best and the next best."

"A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment; the stronger his religious commitment, the more severe will be his test."
