God removes Job's protection and gives permission to the angel to take his wealth, his children, and his physical health (but not his life).

[citation needed] The Tomb of Job is also said to be situated in Jabal Qarah outside the city of Salalah in southern Oman.

[32] Additionally, the Druze community also maintains a shrine for the Prophet Job in Niha village in the Chouf mountains of Lebanon.

In a 16th-century Mughal document, Ain-i-Akbari, there is mention of a tomb, in Ayodhya, commonly believed to be the resting place of the Prophet Job.
