ZS2: Prophet Ayub a.s. Spring at Hawran

The entrance claimed by the local, to the Spring of Prophet Ayub a.s. Another school claimed that his spring and tomb are in Salalah, Oman. Allah hu A'lam.

Nevertheless, our next visit was the Spring of Prophet Ayub alaihis salam (a.s) or Prophet Job in the bible, in the Hawran district, 10 minutes drive from Nawah, Syria. Prophet Ayub a.s was the grandson of Nabi Ishak a.s or Isaac and his mother was the daughter of Nabi Lut a.s or Prophet Lot a.s. Therefore, he was the great grandson of Nabi Ibrahim a.s or Abraham a.s.

Well known for his great patience, he was a very wealthy, but generous and pious man. Nabi Ayub lost his riches, then lost all his children, and was inflicted with a disease that ostracized him from his community, but never did he lost his faith in Allah swt. He suffered for 15 years until Allah swt told him to hit the ground where a water spring emerged. With the water, he bathed and drank which cured him of his illness. He was given back his health and children with his ever-faithful wife, Rahmah.
The water still flowing and you could clearly see school of fish swimming circling inside the greenish water. The area however, seems to be neglected – in the poor state. A group photo before we departed for the Prophet's tomb nearby.
