Revelation of Zaboor

 

Zaboor is a term used in the Islamic faith to refer to the revealed scripture of the Prophet Daud (David) in the form of psalms. According to Islamic tradition, Daud was a prophet of Allah who was bestowed with divine wisdom and knowledge and was given the ability to sing melodious praises of Allah.

The Zaboor is believed to be a collection of 150 psalms or songs that were revealed to Daud by Allah. The Zaboor is considered one of the holy books of Islam and is mentioned in the Quran, where it is referred to as the "Psalms of David" (Suhuf-i-Dawud in Arabic).

The Zaboor contains various themes, including praise and glorification of Allah, exhortation to piety and righteousness, expressions of gratitude, and prayers for forgiveness and mercy. The psalms also contain teachings on morality, justice, and the importance of faith and good deeds.

Muslims believe that the Zaboor was a divine revelation that provided guidance and inspiration to the people of Daud's time and continues to be a source of guidance and wisdom for believers today. However, the actual texts of the Zaboor as revealed to Daud have not been preserved, and what is known as the Zaboor today may differ from the original revelation.

In Islamic tradition, the Zaboor is considered to be one of the four revealed books of Allah, along with the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran. Muslims believe that all these books contain guidance and wisdom from Allah and were revealed to different prophets at different times in history to guide humanity towards the path of righteousness.
