ایوب
ایوب عربی نام ہے جس کا مطلب ہے 'اللہ کی طرف لوٹنے والا' یا 'صابر'۔ وہ حضرت ابراہیم علیہ السلام کی نسل سے ایک نبی تھے، جو شدید آزمائشوں کے دوران اپنے قابل ذکر صبر کے لیے مشہور ہیں۔ حضرت ایوب علیہ السلام اللہ کی طرف سے آزمائش میں اپنی صحت، اولاد اور دولت کھو بیٹھے۔ انہیں ایک گھناؤنی بیماری لاحق ہوگئی جس کی وجہ سے سب نے ان کا ساتھ چھوڑ دیا۔ اس کے باوجود، ایوب علیہ السلام صابر رہے، اللہ کا شکر ادا کرتے رہے اور عبادت میں ثابت قدم رہے۔

أيوب اسم عربي يعني 'العائد إلى الله' أو 'الصبور'. هو نبي من نسل إبراهيم عليه السلام، معروف بصبره العجيب أثناء المحن الشديدة. ابتلي أيوب عليه السلام بفقدان صحته وأولاده وماله كاختبار من الله. أصيب بمرض بغيض جعل الناس يهجرونه. ومع ذلك، ظل أيوب عليه السلام صابراً شاكراً لله ثابتاً في عبادته. يمدحه الله في القرآن في سورتي ص والأنبياء.
"وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا أَيُّوبَ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِنُصْبٍ وَعَذَابٍ"
