chapter ten: prophet david
The first story of David begins with the war of Thalut and Jalut. As reported by the Asy Syariah page, David is one of the soldiers in the Thalut army who will fight against the Jalut army. Thalut's army had great courage and a broad strategy of war and science. This is also reflected in David.
Even so, the troops of Tahlut still try to be patient and continue to ask for help from Allah SWT when fighting against Jalut troops. In the war, with the courage that he had, David came to face Jalut and killed him. Slowly but surely, the number of Jalut's troops was decreasing. The remaining troops grew weaker and began to suffer defeat. After Jalut's defeat, David was later made king.
In this case, then Allah SWT appointed David to be a prophet and gave strong royal wisdom after the hard work made by David and other Thalut troops. Not only that, God also gave David the gift of obedience and extensive knowledge. Here God gave the divine nature to the Prophet David, who was someone who had perfect knowledge of Allah SWT. It is as stated in QS. Shad verse 17 :
“Patience to all that they say; and remember Our servant Dawud who has strength. He is indeed a man who awwab.” (Shade: 17)
In addition to being given extensive knowledge and obedience to worship, God also gave the gift of Prophet David in the form of a sweet voice. KIsah Prophet David with a beautiful voice miracle also made people who became sick to be healed and healthy again, when they heard the melodious voice of Prophet David when reading the book of Zabur.
As quoted from the site islam.co, the chanting of the book of Zabur sung melodiously by the Prophet David also makes the water and wind to be around it to be calm and peaceful. Even in this, Allah has subjected the birds and the mountains to praise Allah with David. This is a miraculous miracle, given by God to the Prophet David alone without being possessed by anyone.
“Patience to all that they say, and remember Our servant David who has strength; verily he is obedient (to the Lord). Verily, We have brought down the mountains to glide with him (David) in the evening and in the morning, and (We have bowed down) the birds are gathered together. They are all very obedient to Allah.” (QS. Shawn :17-19).
The story of the Prophet David then tells about the ability of the Prophet David who can listen and understand the conversation of the birds. Once upon a time, David was contemplating and listening to the voices around him. He listened to the birds babbling at each other. Then Allah gave a miracle to the Prophet David who could understand the conversation of the birds.
As reported by the page Islamkos, since then the Prophet David was able to understand the language of animals. He treats animals with affection. And so with the animals, they also obeyed and loved the Prophet David very much. God then also bestowed this ability on the son of David, Prophet Solomon.
Furthermore, the story of the Prophet Duad is no less interesting is his skillful ability to make strong armor and war equipment. The Sharia page says that Allah softened the iron for the Prophet David and taught him how to make armor, shields, and sturdy tools of war. With the permission and grace given by God, David became the first man capable of making formidable armor and war equipment. This story as listed in QS Saba paragraph 10 – 11.
“Truly We gave to David, and We said: “Hai the mountains recite repeated tasbih with David, so do the birds, and the iron is made soft before him, Make and weave armor, then do good deeds, I see what you do” (Q.S. Saba, verses 10-11).
Those are some of the stories of David, a former soldier who was made king thanks to his intelligence and courage. And he is a prophet who became a model for all Muslims to obey God.
Prophet David AS was sent to warn the Children of Israel who lived in error after the death of Prophet Moses AS and Prophet Aaron AS. The Prophet David was a courageous and devout man of worship. The prayer and fasting of David is the best worship that should be practiced.
"The most beloved instrument of God is the prayer of David. And the fast that God loves most is the fast of David. David slept half the night and woke up one-third, and slept another sixth. He also fasts daily and breaks daily (a day not fasting)," the hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari & Muslim.
David's obedience and courage had been seen since childhood. While shepherding, David dared to fight the wild animals that disturbed his livestock.
David's courage made King Thalut invite him to join the fight against King Jalut and his army more. King Jalut was also known as Goliath and the Philistine army.

A dozen-year-old David went to war without an iron gun. He only uses catapults. By God's permission, David succeeded in killing Jalut.
"They (the army of Thalut) defeated the army of Jalut with the permission of Allah and (in that battle) David killed Jalut," saith Allah's letter Al-Baqarah 251.
From then on, David became close to Thalut. David always fought every battle and always won it.
David took over the kingdom led by Thalut.
"... then Allah gave him (Daud) the government and wisdom (after Thalut's death) and taught him what He wanted" said Allah's letter Al-Baqarah 251.
David became king and a prophet of God. In some accounts it is said that the kingdom of David was the most powerful in the world. The kingdom of Prophet David was even guarded by 40 thousand troops.In broadcasting the truth and religion of God, the Prophet David was given a number of miracles. The prophet David had a beautiful voice. The sound can make birds up to the mountain to come with David.
David was also good at speaking animal languages. In addition, David could soften iron with his bare hands. David was also given the Book of Zabur by Allah SWT.
David was also a prophet who asked God where the Qibla was going. At that time the Prophet David built Jerusalem, at this time Al Aqsa as the direction of the Qibla for prayer. This is the origin there is a qibla for prayer. Then the Qibla direction was replaced by Baitul Haram in Mecca in the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Once upon a time, the Prophet David was said to have liked a married woman. At that time the prophet David ordered her husband to join the war. The husband then died in battle.
The prophet David married the woman. However, guilt enveloped David.
The guilt made the Prophet David repent to God by fasting intermittently, namely a day of fasting and a day not. This fast is now known as the fast of David.
"Prophet David felt guilty at last asking for forgiveness through fasting,"
