Ayyub (AS)’s story is so dear to me. His frail weak body & illness took over him but his wife remained supportive. Others didn’t want to go near them because of his sickness & afraid they might catch it from either, not even sparing a kind word. But he remained positive & grateful, not complaining until one day he asked for mercy & Allah (SWT) granted it to him. His story is an inspiration for many (like me).

Shuaib (AS)’s story is so important when we think about how people behave in workplaces and in business and in the markets, to not deceive, cheat and betray people for more money and to have faith in God.

“Give people their measure in full, and don’t cheat. Weigh with an even scale and don’t take away the rights of others.”

When I read sun, moon and stars, I can’t help but think “sheik me shiraki anni” from game of thrones.

From the well, to a palace, to prison, to working in treasury. Yusuf (AS) journey is fascinating.

Wow.. the cup bearer forgot to mention him to the kind until years later when the king needed his dream to be interpreted and still Yusuf (AS) didn’t hold a grudge against him but greeted him warmly.

Yusuf (AS), as handsome as he was, resisted temptation even when faced with consequences. I’ve always loved the story of Yusuf (AS). It’s been my favourite Surah.

While their brothers betrayed Yusuf (AS), Yusuf (AS) grew up in a fancy place in Egypt while his brothers toiled on their farm in Palestine. Poor Yaqub (AS). He was patient, missing his son.

Oh, wow. I didn’t know Yusuf (AS) was born in Palestine.

The dream of Yusuf (AS) with the sun, moon and 11 stars bowing down to him is so fascinating especially when it comes to fruition much, much later. Dream interpretation in Islam is so fascinating.
