9. Hazrat Dawud (Prophet David)
Hazrat Dawud, known as Prophet David in other traditions, was a significant figure renowned for his wisdom, bravery, and devotion to Allah. Born in Jerusalem in the 10th century BCE, he is celebrated for defeating the giant warrior Goliath with a single stone from his sling, an act that symbolized the triumph of faith and courage over might.
After this victory, Daud’s fame grew, and he eventually became the King of Israel. He was also blessed with a melodious voice that could move mountains, plants, and animals, and he used this gift to sing praises to Allah. Additionally, Allah bestowed upon him the ability to understand the language of animals. Daud faced challenges, including jealousy and threats from King Saul (Talut), but he overcame them with grace and forgiveness. He was also given the Zabur (Psalms), a divine scripture, as a guide for the people. His legacy is one of righteousness, justice, and the importance of spiritual connection with Allah.
