The above two verses refer to a part of the teaching story of another apostle who was indeed a pattern of patience, piety, and faith in God. AYYUB, (JOB) is the name of the apostle, who had a very sad story, and meanwhile a glorious and dignitary one.

      The patience that Job showed of himself in his great anguish was wonderful a thing.

      The above verses point to his final success over evil:

      At first, Job, lived a very prosperous life with his good household. But the prophet was put to trial by our Lord, and then he suffered from a number of distressful calamities! In a short period of time, he lost his cattle, then his servants were slain, and soon after all his family were crushed when the roof fell on them.

      In spite of all that, Job held fast to his faith in God. Further, he became sick, and was covered with disgusting sores, all over his body.

      Some of the monks who came to comfort him, claimed that suffering is the result of sins. Such ironies increased his mental pain; but Job maintained his blamelessness. Then God recalled to him His Mercy and Grace, and emphasized His majesty and sovereignty over nature, and the inability of mortal man to fully understand the mysteries of the Divine Government of the world.

      Job became the pattern of patience and faith in God and by that he vanquished evil.

      When his anguish and distress became unbearable, he called unto our Lord, and said:ِ

      ``O, My Lord! Distress has afflicted me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show Mercy.''

      Allah answered his prayer, and restored him to prosperity with twice as much as he had before.
