Job (Coran)

Job ( arabe : أيوب ) est connu comme un prophète dans l'Islam et est mentionné dans le Coran^[1]. L'histoire de Job dans l'Islam est parallèle à l'histoire de la Bible hébraïque, bien que l'accent principal soit mis sur le fait que Job reste fidèle à Dieu ; il n'y a aucune mention des discussions de Job avec des amis dans le texte coranique, mais la littérature musulmane ultérieure déclare que Job avait des frères qui discutaient avec l'homme sur la cause de son affliction. Certains commentateurs musulmans ont également parlé de Job comme étant l'ancêtre des Romains^[2]. La littérature islamique commente également l'époque et le lieu du ministère prophétique de Job, disant qu'il est venu après Joseph dans la série prophétique et qu'il a prêché à son propre peuple plutôt que d'être envoyé dans une communauté spécifiée. La tradition raconte en outre que Job sera au Ciel le chef du groupe de « ceux qui ont patiemment enduré »^[3].

↑ Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an: Text, Translation and Commentary, note 2739: "Job (Ayūb) was a prosperous man, with faith in Allah, living somewhere in the north-east corner of Arabia. He suffers from a number of calamities: his cattle are destroyed, his servants slain by the sword, his family crushed under his roof, and his wealth is lost. But he holds fast to his faith in Allah. As a further calamity he is covered with loathsome sores from head to foot. He loses his peace of mind, and he curses the day he was born. His false friends come and attribute his afflictions to sin. These "Job's comforters" are no comforters at all, and he further loses his balance of mind, but Allah recalls to him all His mercies, and he resumes his humility and gives up self-justification. He is restored to prosperity, with twice as much as he had before; his brethren and friends come back to him; he had a new family of seven sons and three fair daughters. He lived to a good old age, and saw four generations of descendants. All this is recorded in the Book of Job in the Old Testament. Of all the Hebrew writings, the Hebrew of this Book comes nearest to Arabic."
