David is one of the few Islamic Prophets who received Kingship as well. While other prophets preached during the reign of kings, David, in his time, was the king. Thus, he received an extremely large task, of making sure that the people of Israel were not only held in check spiritually but that the country itself remained strong as well.
Muslim tradition maintains that the Zabur mentioned in the Quran is the Psalms of Dawud (David in Islam). [1] The Christian monks and ascetics of pre-Islamic Arabia may be associated in pre-Islamic Arabic poetry with texts called mazmour, which in other contexts may refer to palm leaf documents. [2]
The Quran mentions the Zabur, interpreted as being the Book of Psalms, [14] as being the holy scripture revealed to King David . Scholars have often understood the Psalms to have been holy songs of praise, and not a book administering law. [15] The current Psalms are still praised by many Muslim scholars. [16]
Islamic tradition holds both Joachim and Amram are named the same, though the Quran only refers to Joachim with the name of Amram and calls Mary the sister of Aaron, [10] Muslims see this as connecting the two women from two prophetic households in spirit.

He is mentioned in the Quran, [156] but he is not specified to have been a prophet, although many Islamic scholars hold Uzair to be one of the prophets. [157] [158] He is also named as a prophet in the Tawrat (the Arabic-language name for the Torah within its context as an Islamic holy book). Ezra: Imrān عِمْرَان
David (Arabic: داوود Dā'ūd or Dāwūd) is an important figure in Islam as one of the major prophets God sent to guide the Israelites. He is mentioned several times in the Quran with the Arabic name داود, Dāwūd or Dā'ūd , often with his son Solomon .
David eventually goes on to become Israel's new king. A similar story appears in the Quran 2:246–251. The Israelites demand of their prophet to appoint a king, and so God appoints the man Talut. The people respond poorly to the selection, upset that Talut does not seem special.
