: Which Prophet of Allah killed Goliath ?
Ans: Dawood(peace be upon him).
So they defeated them by permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath(Jalut)
and Allah gave him the kingship and prophethood and taught him from that which
He willed.
[Al-Qur'an ch 2 Verse 251]
David (pbuh) and Goliath Fight
The king dressed David in battle armor and handed him a sword, but David was
not used to wearing battle dress. He felt uncomfortable in it, and it
obstructed his movements. He removed the armor, then collected a few pebbles
and filled his leather pouch with them. He slung it over his shoulder next to
his sling. With his wooden staff in hand, he began to walk towards the enemy.
Saul was worried and asked him how on earth, with a sling and a couple of
stones was he going to defend himself against the giant? David replied:
"Allah Who protected me from the claws of the bear and the fangs of the
lion will certainly protect me from this brute!"
When Goliath set eyes on the lean young man who looked like a boy, he laughed
loudly and roared: "Are you out to play war with one of your playmates, or
are you tired of your life? I will simply cut off your head with one swipe of
my sword!" David shouted back: "You may have armor, shield, and sword,
but I face you in the name of Allah, the Lord of the Israelites, Whose laws you
have mocked. Today you will see that it is not the sword that kills but the
will and power of Allah!"
So saying, he took his sling and placed in it a pebble from his pouch. He swung
and aimed it at Goliath. The pebble shot from the whirling sling with the speed
of an arrow and hit Goliath's head with great force. Blood gushed out, and
Goliath thumped to the ground, lifeless, before he had a chance to draw his
sword. When the rest of his men saw their mighty hero slain, they took to their
heels. The Israelites followed in hot pursuit, taking revenge for their years
of suffering at the hands of their enemy, killing every soldier they could lay
hands on. In this battle the Israelites regained the glory and honor that had
been lost for a long time.
David became a hero overnight. Saul kept his word and married his daughter
Michal (Miqel) to the young warrior and took him under his wing as one of his
chief advisors.
Allah knows the best .
