Qasas ul Anbiya: Stories of the Prophets

13. Hazrat Zakariyyah (Prophet Zachariah)

Hazrat Zakariyyah, also known as Prophet Zachariah, was a descendant of Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) and served as the leader of the Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem. Despite his old age and the barrenness of his wife, he remained devoted to Allah and prayed earnestly for a child. Allah answered his prayers and granted him a son, Prophet Yahya (John), even in his old age. This miraculous event is celebrated as an example of Allah’s power and mercy. Zakariyyah’s life is a testament to the virtue of patience and the importance of trust in Allah’s plans.

14. Hazrat Ayub (Prophet Job)

Hazrat Ayub, known as Prophet Job in other traditions, is celebrated for his extraordinary patience in the face of severe trials. He was a prosperous man, blessed with wealth, a large family, and good health. However, he was tested by Allah with the loss of his possessions, the death of his children, and a painful illness that afflicted his entire body except for his heart and tongue, which he used to remember Allah.

Despite his suffering, Hazrat Ayub remained steadfast in his faith, never despairing or turning away from his devotion to Allah. His story is one of unwavering patience and trust in Allah’s wisdom. In recognition of his perseverance, Allah eventually restored his health, wealth, and gave him a family as numerous as before, serving as a powerful reminder of the rewards of patience and faith.
