God tells us that Job’s story is a reminder for all those who worship God.  (Quran 38:84) When one truly worships God with full submission, it is necessary to have patience.  It is easy to worship for a few days or even weeks, but we must be consistent.  Prayer at night requires patience, fasting requires patience, living with tribulations and trials requires patience.  The life of this world is a test and in order to pass, and be rewarded with Paradise, we need to acquire the patience of Job.

 

Every soul must taste of death, and we try you with evil and with good, for ordeal. And unto us ye will be returned.  Quran 21:35
