Focusing on ALLAH

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَہٗ فَنَجَّیْنٰہُ وَ اَھْلَہٗ مِنَ الْکَرْبِ الْعَظِیْمِ

We henceforth answered his supplication, and rescued him and his household from the extreme calamity.^{^[1]}

As a result of this duꜤāˈ of Prophet Nūḥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, the disbelievers were punished with a huge flood, which wiped them out.^{^[2]}

Similarly, Prophet Ayyūb عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم was tested. He also made duꜤāˈ.

اَنِّیْ مَسَّنِیَ الضُّرُّ وَ اَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ

that distress has afflicted me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.^{^[3]}

His duꜤāˈ was accepted. Allah Almighty announced:

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَہٗ فَکَشَفْنَا مَا بِہٖ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَّ اٰتَیْنٰہُ اَھْلَہٗ وَ مِثْلَہُمْ مَّعَہُمْ رَحْمَۃً مِّنْ عِنْدِنَا وَ ذِکْرٰی لِلْعٰبِدِیْنَ (۸۴)

We henceforth answered his supplication; so, We removed the adversity that had afflicted him, and We gave him his family, and in addition, bestowed along with them more of a similar number by mercy from Ourselves, and advice for the people who worship.^{^[4]}
