Banu Israel

Prophet Dawud (David), both prophet and king, was the slayer of Jalut (Goliath), the recipient of the Zabur (Psalms), and the ruler whose just governance and extraordinary devotion made him the Quranic model of the righteous sovereign.

Prophet Yaqub (Jacob), grandson of Ibrahim and father of the twelve tribes of Israel, endured decades of grief over the loss of his beloved son Yusuf with a patience that became the Quranic paradigm of beautiful endurance (sabr jamil).

Prophet Isa (Jesus), the Messiah born of the Virgin Maryam, is one of the greatest prophets in Islam — a miracle-worker who healed the sick and raised the dead, who was raised to heaven by God, and who will return before the Day of Judgment.

Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist), son of Zakariya, was granted wisdom as a child, confirmed the Word of God (Jesus), and was martyred for speaking truth to a corrupt ruler — embodying ascetic devotion, moral courage, and prophetic integrity.

Prophet Musa (Moses), the most frequently mentioned prophet in the Quran, was the liberator of the Israelites from Pharaoh's tyranny, the recipient of the Torah on Mount Sinai, and the prophet honoured as Kalim Allah — the one to whom God spoke directly.

Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon), son of Dawud, was granted a kingdom unmatched in human history — commanding jinn, winds, and animals while ruling with legendary wisdom. His encounter with the Queen of Sheba and his hidden death reveal the depths of divine sovereignty.
