And The story goes on with Ayoub The Egyptian

We will complete the Tale of the Ayoub the Patient today but first you should go to my entry from yesterday exactly and read carefully so in case if you aren't regular visitor to this space you will have a abackground of what I am saying anf in case if you are a regular visitor to this space ,you will remember what I am saying

so go for 4 seconds and come back

ok welcome back, we will complete or tale with Mr.Ayoub the Egyptian ,who we don't know was he Egyptian or not ,this time I will tell you what I think and my thoughts of where this legend came in the Egyptian culture heirtage.I think this legend or tale is based upon two parts or these two parts are major the reason behind Ayoub the Egyptian and they are interrelated to each other ,they are the religion and the socail culture

1-The religion Part ,Ayoub was a prophet as it was mentioned in the Quranic tale ,and Egypt is known by its host to the prophets like Ibraham ,Moses ,Jesus ,Joseph and other and that is why it is called the Prophet's land( we will have a long talk in this part sooon) ,so May be Ayoub the prophet had lived in Egypt yet it is not mentioned in Quran where he lived or when.He could have lived in Egypt and old ancient Egyptians knew about him and told their descendents and so on ,and in this case ,he probably had lived either in the ancient Egyptian Era at the time of Pharoahs or the roman copitic Egyptian Era at the time of romans and greeks . or may be he didn't come near to Egypt but People either believed he was egyptian for the mentioned above reason or they wanted to believe that he was an Egyptian for the coming below reason.

2-The Socail part ,May be the Egyptian people wanted a symbol for their famous egyptian patience ,a symbol that personifies the patience in its greatest shape ,so they chose Ayoub whether he lived in their land or not ,they chose him as he was mentioned in the Quran ,and for his great patience and devotion to God ,as the Egyptians are very religious too ,Every people on this earth has a hero ,a symbol for every characteristic it has

A question rises here ,why are the Egyptians so patient ?

The answer lays in history ,as you all know Egypt is the oldest and even some historians say it was the first ever nation that took Agriculture as a profession in the ancient times even before Iraq, and that goes to important factors the Nature as the Nile river and the human factor as the Egyptian .If you read the history of the professions and the location influence on the human ,you know that Agriculture and the rivers valleys increases the stabilization and security for any civil society this is number one ,also if you are familier with the Agriculture process you will know that the Patience has a key role if it hasn't the major role in this process .The farmer simply put the seed in the land ,gives it some water and waits for it to grow to become a crop ,as you see this is Patience ,from here the Egyptians learned to be patient ,they will wait and wait till they get what they want ,also this patience learned them to be peaceful for the same reason they get what they want and they know they will get for sure

yet their patience sometimes is translated in to passive act especailly when it comes to dictatorship system that had been ,and has been always ruling the land of nile since the pharoahs till God knows when The Egyptians don't look it at this way ,they think that they will be patient on the ruler as long as they are not humiliated or their living status is not affected economically in other words they rebel only by the hunger power,they will wait till either the ruler he dies or some miracle comes and take him off the throne of Rule and the history had ,has and will have a good example of what I am saying

yet the Egyptians are not patients as Patience has limits as Thuma said in her beautiful song ,as I said they lose their patience by the hunger power ,they lose their patience if they feel they are so humililated ,they lose their patience if they felt that their religions are being insulted ,as you see they will act as mideterrarian people in the end

Also an important fact ,Egyptians don't have any patience on any invaders and the examples are alot . the weakness points of our Patience are many see it as weakness ,especailly rulers who take for grants and stole the wealth and freedom of the people of the nile valley ,also this patience is sometitmes turned to surrender

The strength point is that you don't know when this patience ends and mostly the timing of the long sleep end is always surprising to the enemis and benefeticators ,the revolution of the egyptian people is just like big sleepy volcano that is errupted suddenly .

I have to go now coz little shosho is sleepy yet before I go I hope you liked my tale and tell me what do you think

another thing ,be ready this year and follow the news of mon payes as there will be important test for the Egyptian Patience
