According to the Quran, Job was a righteous man who was tested by God with a series of calamities, including the loss of his wealth, his family, and his health. Despite these trials, Job remained steadfast in his faith and continued to praise God, eventually being rewarded with a restoration of his blessings and a renewed sense of purpose.
