THE PROPHETS OF ISLAM Al-Huda Foundation
PROPHET
DA'UD
Da'ud
(David) was a ninth generation descendant of Yahudah (one of the twelve sons of
Ya'qub, known as Judah in Torah). Banu
Israil were in war with the Eimaliques, and no one was able to subdue their
gigantic king called Jalut (Goliath). Da'ud
was still a young lad when he used his sling to kill giant king Jalut (Goliath).
He was appointed prophet and king by Allah while Samuel was still alive.
The
boundaries of his kingdom expanded during his rule, and he spread the religion
of Allah to other territories. He laid
the foundations of Bait-ul Muqaddas (the Holy Mosque) Allah gave him the
Book Zubur (Psalms in the Torah), that has poetical rhyme and prophetic
wisdom in its words. He lived long and
ruled his people wisely and in accordance with the laws of Torah.
