During life, whether consciously or unconsciously, the mind has a great influence in dealing with all situations, and can even affect changes in a person. The outward appearance of a human being is a reflection of his inner world. A person becomes what he thinks, because the mind gives energy to realize what he wants to achieve. The prophets chosen by God to get guidance and guide mankind to the truth, have a special way of thinking. They always say and act correctly, have seriousness, trust, intelligence, and openness, and convey something that must be conveyed. They are awakened from sin and transgression, keeping their identity well. Likewise the story experienced by the prophet Ayyub As.
