Jaloot and Taloot</h2>
   In the offsprings of bani Israeel only  a pregnant woman remained  , in whom the prophethood still appeared. she was a widow so the Israelites kept her in a house so that Allah may give her a boy, who would be their Prophet. The woman also kept invoking Allah to grant her a boy. Allah heard her pleas and gave her a boy whom she called `Shamwil. Some people said that the boy's name was Sham`un (Simeon). 
As that boy grew, Allah raised him to be a righteous person. When he reached the age of prophethood, Allah revealed to him and commanded him to call his people to Him .  
Shamwil called the Children of Israel to Allah and they asked him to appoint a king over them so that they could fight their enemies under his command. The kingship had also ended among them. Hazrat Dawud (A.S) said to them, "What if Allah appoints a king over you, would you fulfill your vow to fight under his command'' 
They said, "Why should we not fight in Allah's way while we have been driven out of our homes. 
But when fighting was ordered for them, they turned away, all except a few of them. only a few of them kept their promise, but the majority abandoned. and Allah has full knowledge of them. 
When the Israelites asked their Prophet to appoint a king over them,Hazrat Dawud (A.S) appointed Talut , who was then a soldier. But, Talut was not a descendant of the house of kings.so 
They were not agree with their prophet 
They said that Talut was also poor and did not have the wealth that justifies him being king. Some people stated that Hazrat Talut(A.S)   used to bring water to the people, while others stated that his profession was dyeing skins. The people  thus, disputed with their Prophet while they were supposed to obey him and to say good words to him.  
 Hazrat Dawud (A.S) stated, "I did not choose Hazrat Talut(A.S) to be your king on my own. Rather, Allah has commanded that upon your and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. 
`Talut is more knowledgeable and honorable than you, and stronger and more patient during combat, and has more knowledge of warfare. In short, he has more knowledge and is stronger than you are. The king should have sufficient knowledge, be fair looking and should have a strong soul and Allah grants His kingdom to whom He wills. Allah Alone is the Supreme Authority Who does what He wills and no one can ask Him about His actions, while they will be asked about their actions by Him. This is because Allah has perfect knowledge, wisdom and kindness with His creation. 
Their Prophet then proclaimed, "The sign of the blessings of Talut's kingship over you is that Allah will give you back the Tabut wooden box that has been taken from you.'' 
The angels came down while carrying the Tabut between the sky and the earth, until they placed it before Hazrat Talut(A.S) while the people were watching. 
Then when Hazrat Talut(A.S) set out with the army, he said: 
"Verily, Allah will try you by a river. So whoever drinks thereof, he is not of me; and whoever tastes it not, he is of me, except him who takes (thereof) in the hollow of his hand.'' 
Hazrat Talut(A.S),  marched forth with his soldiers and the <strike>Israelites</strike> who obeyed him. His army was of eighty thousand. 
when thy reached on the river  they drank thereof, all, except a few of them.but Whoever took some of it the river's water in the hollow of his hand,quenched his thirst; as for those who drank freely from it, their thirst was not quenched.'' 
Israelites who remained with king  thought that they were few in the face of their enemy who were many then. So, their knowledgeable scholars strengthened their resolve by stating that Allah's promise is true and that triumph comes from Allah Alone, not from the large numbers or the adequacy of the supplies. 
When the faithful party, who were few under the command of Talut, faced their enemy, who were many under the command of Jalut 
They -prayed: 
"Our Lord! Pour forth on us patience and send down patience on us from You. and set firm our feet against the enemy and save us from running away and from feebleness."

and make us victorious over the disbelieving people.  
Allah said: 
They defeated and overwhelmed them by Allah's aid and support. Then and Dawud Eliminated Jalut. 
Talut promised that whoever Eliminated Jalut, would marry his daughter and would share his kingship and authority. He kept his promise. Later, the kingship was transferred to Prophet Dawud in addition to being granted Prophethood by Allah. He willed of the knowledge that He bestowed on Dawud.

Qarun and his treasure </h3>
 Qarun belonged to the race of Hazrat Musa. In the beginning, he was a pious man. Later on, he learnt the science of changing metals into gold and soon became a wealthy man. He had so much wealth that the keys of his treasures could only be carried by a group of strong and stout persons.

His wealth made him proud and he would go out with great pomp and show. He rejoiced over his wealth and used to look down upon others.

Some people used to envy Qarun’s wealth. But the sensible people did not approve of it. They advised him not to be proud of his wealth because Allah does not like pride. They told him to spend some of his wealth on charity and good works. 
 But Qarun answered: “I have earned this wealth with my own wisdom and skill. Allah didn’t give it to me. Why should I give it away in charity?”

Hazrat Musa(A.S) would often preach to the people in the streets of Egypt. He would remind his people to worship only Allah and not to care for worldly goods.  
At the same time, Qarun, dressed up in grand clothes followed by his servants, carrying the keys to his treasures would pass by. This would distract the attention of the people. Some of them would turn away from Hazrat Musa(A.S) to take a look at Qarun. 
 They would wish to have his wealth in this world, rather than to enjoy the good things and pleasures of the next world.

Hazrat Musa(A.S) would be very upset but there was nothing he could do about it. Qarun was very mean and stubborn. He would often behave with Hazrat Musa in a very rude manner.

Soon, Allah punished Qarun for his rude behaviour and pride. He took away from him what he had in plenty. He sank him and all his treasure deep down into the earth. Thus, his wealth was of no use to him nor to anyone else. 
 Those people who had envied Qarun for his wealth realized that pride and boastfulness lead to destruction. In fact, real happiness and prosperity are reserved for those people who are true believers.

Hazrat Daud ,Jaloot and Taloot </h3>
 Many years after the death of Hazrat Musa, Talut was made the king of Bani Israel. Under his command, the Bani Israel marched to fight the army of Jalut, who was a very strong and famous fighter. When the battle started, Jalut challenged anyone from the army of Talut to fight him. 
 But he was so strong that nobody dared to come forward.

In the army of Talut, there was a young shepherd. His name was Hazrat Daud(A.S). He asked the king’s permission to fight against Jalut. The permission was given. Hazrat Daud (A.S) had only a sling and a staff, which he used to tend his sheep. With a sling he shot a stone at Jalut (A.S) which hit him on the forehead. 
 He fainted and fell down. Hazrat Daud (A.S) then slew him with his sword. With the death of their leader, the enemy ran away.

Hazrat Daud was made king after the death of Talut. During his rule, he fought many battles and expanded his empire by conquering other countries.  
As king, he did not live on people’s money. He made his living by making various objects of iron and steel. Once, he prayed to Allah to make his work easy for him. Allah answered his prayer and gave him the strength to make iron soft in his hands, so that he could make coats of armour with it for protection in battle. 
 Allah had given him great wisdom and power of sound judgement and he ruled over his people with justice. Hazrat Daud could understand the speech of birds and animals. He could talk to them in the same way as people talk to each other. 
 Hazrat Daud had a very melodious voice. When he sang the praises of Allah, the birds would gather together to sing with him.

Later on, Allah made him a prophet. He gave him the Divine Zabur, which he used to recite in a beautiful voice in order to attract people towards-Allah’s revelations.
