Within the story of Prophet Ayyub lies one of the greatest lessons in human sacrifice, gratitude, perseverance and recovery - All rolled into one.
Using simple prose this book describes the life of Prophet Ayyub, how he was blessed with everything, and how he lost everything.
The noble Prophet Ayyub was far and wide the greatest individual amongst his generation. He was revered as a humble and just leader and was blessed with wealth, health and prosperity.
Through trials and tribulations Prophet Ayyub’s quality of life diminished and he lost everything, his wealth, children and then his health through a degenerative skin condition.
His ever loyal wife Rahma was not allowed to work and support the family due to fear amongst the people that she would afflict the population with the disease her husband was living with.
Prophet Ayyub persevered and did not waiver an iota. He remained steadfast and refused to curse his misfortune. His faith remained ardent, his feet firm and his conviction resolute.
Prophet Ayyub prayed, “My Lord! Evil has touched me, And you are most merciful from those who show mercy.”
His prayers were answered and his fortunes once again changed for the better.
The quality of rhyme used is fluent and hooks the reader right from the start. This is a must read for anyone and everyone.
The multi talented Moudud Hussain has hit the ground running with his literary debut. The East Londoner engages the reader from beginning to end and the motivational benefits and inspiration are universal in value.
Having read the text I am pleased to say that although this is a children’s book, it is perfectly tailored to benefit and bring great pleasure to everyone - The lessons of conviction, hope, patience and gratitude are universal values.
With illustrations by my former student, the prodigiously gifted Zain Syed, I am delighted, yet not the least bit surprised to see his artistic talents beginning to shine.
This is a superb piece of work, easy to understand and an excellent companion, to share with your class, enjoy as a family or just to read alone and contemplate.
Copies are scheduled for print this week so please keep a look out for updates. £4.99 gets you a hard copy and the e-book is available HERE.
50% of the proceeds will support an orphanage in Bangladesh.
I am content in the feeling that ‘Prophet Ayyub, the man who lost everything’ will provide guidance, pleasure and benefit to the reader.
