What the Bible Says…
After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. (Job 3:1)
I will say to God: do not condemn me, but tell me what charges you have against me. Does it please you to oppress me.. while you smile on the schemes of the wicked? (Job 10:2,3).
… then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me. Though I cry, ' I've been wronged!' I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice. (Job 19:6,7)
Why does the Almighty not set times for judgment? (Job 24: 1)
Let God weigh me in honest scales and he will know that I am blameless (Job 31: 6).
For he (Job) says, 'It profits a man nothing when he tries to please God.' (Job 34:9).
What the Qur'an Says…
And remember Our slave Job, when he invoked his Lord (saying): "Verily, Satan has touched me with distress (by ruining my health) and torment (by ruining my wealth)! "Allah said to him: "Strike the ground with your foot: This is (a spring of) water to wash in, cool and a (refreshing) drink." And We gave him (back) his family, and along with them the like thereof, as a mercy from us, and a reminder for those who understand…
Truly, We found him patient. How excellent a slave! Verily, he was ever oft-returning in repentance (to Us)! (Qur'an, 38: 41-44).
