The duration of his illness lasted for a long time till his companions loathed him, his associations deserted him, he was expelled out of his country, all people deserted him no one remained to help him except his faithful wife who was taking into account his right and knowing his old favor to her.
All this hadn’t increased Ayyoub but tolerance and contentedness, praise and thanks to God, till his patience became a proverb”[^49] As a result of this tolerance and contentment Allah gave back to him everything He had taken of him kindly and generously.
The ideology, at the time which it orders the Moslem to endure, it advises him not to complain of disease, as complaining means that one accused Allah of injustice in His determination, it also abases one’s dignity in peoples’ eyes, it incites disappointment and mockery. Ameeralmu’amineen (A.S.) says: “I had previously a brother whose brother hood was for the sake of Allah, what makes him great in my view is the meanness of this world in his view..
He wasn’t complaining of a pain except after it heals…” [^50] It is worth mentioning that the ideology at the time which scatters the clouds of fear within the self it grows up in him the feeling of fear from Allah (be exalted) only as it is the only way to be released from all kinds of fear and it (the belief) bewares of disobeying Him and brandish refers at His severe revenge.
The Holy Qur’an in so many verses deepens the feeling of fear of Allah (be exalted) some of them are: “Say, surely I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the chastisement of a grievous day” [^51]He also says: “And for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires, then surely the garden- that is the abode”[^52] The prophet (S.W.A.) says: “Allah has not invested with power over Man except of whom Man has feared, and had Man not feared except Allah, Allah wouldn’t invest any one with power over him except Allah…”[^53] He also said: “blessedness is to whom fear of Allah has occupied him and diverted him from fearing people” [^54] It is natural that this kind of fear has educational influences from which the individual benefits.
