ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The Holy Quran also discusses many of the sings of Allah SWT as well.

Sometimes it discusses in details and sometimes briefly the many favors that Allah SWT bestowed on many of the Prophets among whom are Dawood and Suleman, Ayub and Younus and Zakarai and Yahya, peace be upon all of them.

As far as Dawood and Suleman, peace be upon both of them, are concerned,  Allah SWT established them firmly in the land, expanded their kingdom, gave them plenty of knowledge, taught them what most people do not know and subjugated to them the strong ones, the obstinate ones and even the animals and inanimate objects that cannot be controlled ordinarily.

He said:

“And We verily gave knowledge unto David and Solomon, and they said: Praise be to Allah, Who hath preferred us above many of His believing slaves!       

And Solomon was David's heir. And he said: O mankind! Lo! We have been taught the language of birds, and have been given (abundance) of all things. This surely is evident favor.”

Sura An Namal 15-16
