{"product_id":"9781524251529","title":"The Great Story of Prophet David (Dawud) \u0026 Prophet Solomon (Sulaiman) In Islam","description":"Prophet David, or Dawud, is  recognized in Islam as a prophet, messenger (Rasul), and lawgiver of  God, and as a righteous king of the United Kingdom of Israel, which  itself is a holy country in Islam. He similarly figures prominently in  the Torah and the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. David is perhaps  most famous in Islam for defeating the Philistine giant Goliath  (Jalut), when he was a soldier in the army of King Saul’s (Talut).His  genealogy goes back through Judah, the son of Prophet Jacob (Ya’qub),  to Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim).   The figure of Prophet David is of extreme  importance in Islam because he was one of the few prophets to receive a  named revealed book. It says in the Quran that the Zabur, the Biblical  Psalms, were given to David. David’s son, Prophet Solomon (Sulaiman),  took over the task of prophecy after his death and he was made the  subsequent King of Israel.  The Judeo-Christian and Islamic views  of David, however, differ in some aspects. Muslims generally do not  accept the sins of adultery and murder attributed to David in the Hebrew  Bible, as they feel that prophets – in their belief the utmost chosen  and elect of God – would never commit such grave crimes.  Prophet  Solomon or Sulaiman was, according to the Qur’an, a king of ancient  Israel as well as the son of Prophet David (Dawud). The Qur’an  recognizes Solomon as a prophet and a divinely-appointed monarch.  Islamic tradition generally holds that Solomon was the third king of  Israel and was a just and wise ruler for the nation.Islam views  Prophet Solomon or Sulaiman as one of the elect of God, who was bestowed  upon with many God-given gifts, including the ability to speak to  animals and control jinn (demons).   Muslims further maintain that Solomon  remained faithful to a one and only God throughout his life;  constructed the Temple of Solomon, which became one of the key houses of  worship; reigned justly over the whole of the Kingdom of Israel; was  blessed with a level of kingship which was given to none after him; and  fulfilled all of his commandments, being promised nearness to God in  Heaven at the end of his life. Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) remains  one of the most commemorated and popular holy figures in Islam. Muslim  tradition further maintains that, along with Prophet David (Dawud) and  Prophet Dhul-Qarnayn, Solomon was one of three great monarchs of all  time.","brand":"PublishDrive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127513170160,"sku":"9781524251529","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781524251529_p0.jpg?v=1763729773","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781524251529","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
