Prophet Dawud (AS)

🪨 Dawud (AS) and the Giant!

Dawud (AS) was among an army fighting a warrior called Jalut. Many of the soldiers were filled with fear.

By Allah's permission, Dawud (AS) fought Jalut and Allah gave him the victory.

After this, Allah gave Dawud (AS) kingship and wisdom. He became one of the greatest kings and Prophets who ever lived. 🌟

🎵 Mountains Echoed and Birds Sang With Dawud (AS)!

When Dawud (AS) glorified Allah, Allah caused the mountains to echo the glorification with him, and birds gathered to join in. 🐦

Allah also taught Dawud (AS) how to make armour from iron to protect people in battle. Allah said to him: Work righteousness I see everything you do!

⚖️ Two Men Came Over the Wall Dawud (AS) Is Tested

Dawud (AS) was known for judging fairly between people. Allah also tested him with a special story two men climbed over the wall of his prayer room, which surprised him!

One man said: I have 99 sheep and my brother has one. He is asking me to give it to him. Dawud (AS) immediately said the brother asking was wrong to demand it.

Then Dawud (AS) realised this was a test from Allah! He bowed down and asked Allah to forgive him. Allah forgave him! Then Allah said: O Dawud (AS), We made you a leader on Earth. So judge with truth and do not follow what you desire.

🌙 Dawud (AS) Fasted and Prayed The Very Best Way!

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) told us the best way to fast is the way Dawud (AS) fasted: one day fasting and one day not fasting.

And the best night prayer schedule was also Dawud (AS)'s: sleep for half the night, then pray for a third of it, then sleep for the last sixth.

Dawud (AS) also made his own living with his own hands making armour. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: No one has ever eaten food better than what they earned with their own hands and Dawud (AS) used to eat from the work of his own hands! 💪
