Sura 38
Aya 41
41
وَاذكُر عَبدَنا أَيّوبَ إِذ نادىٰ رَبَّهُ أَنّي مَسَّنِيَ الشَّيطانُ بِنُصبٍ وَعَذابٍ

Yusuf Ali

Commemorate Our Servant Job.1 Behold he cried to his Lord: “The Evil One has afflicted me with distress2 and suffering!”
  • For this passage, verses 41-44, Cf. 21:83-84.
  • The distress was of many kinds, physical, mental, and spiritual. See n. 2739 to 21:83. He suffered from loathsome sores he lost his home, his possessions, and his family; and almost his balance of mind. But he did not lose Faith but turned to God (see verse 44 below), and the recuperative process began.
