Surah Saad Ayat 41 meaning in urdu

اور ہمارے بندے ایوبؑ کا ذکر کرو، جب اس نے اپنے رب کو پکارا کہ شیطان نے مجھے سخت تکلیف اور عذاب میں ڈال دیا ہے

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(38:41) And remember Our servant Job: *41 when he cried to his Lord: 'Behold, Satan has afflicted me with much hardship and suffering.' *42

*41) This is the fourth place in the Qur'an where the Prophet Job has been mentioned. Before this he has been mentioned in An-Nisa. 163, Al-An'am: 84 and AI-Anbiya': 83-84 above. For the details about him, please see E.N.'s 76 to 79 of Surah Al-Anbiya'
*42) This does not mean that Satan has afflicted me with illness and brought distress upon me, but it means: "The affliction of the severities of illness, the loss of property and wealth, and the desertion of the near and dear ones, is not so great a torment and trouble for me as the temptation of Satan, who is exploiting my condition to despair me of my Lord and wants that I should turn ungrateful to Him and become desperate and impatient." This meaning of the lamentation of the Prophet Job is preferable for two reasons: (1) According to the Qur'an, Allah has granted Satan only the power of temptation: He has not given him the power to afflict with illness the worshippers of Allah and compel them to deviate from the way of service and obedience by causing them physical ailments. (2) In Surah AIAnbiya' when the Prophet Job puts before Allah his complaint about illness and disease, he does not mention Satan at all, but says only: "I have been afflicted with the disease and You are most Merciful."
