Description
The Psalms are among the most widely read books by Jews and Christians. Muslims, while believing in the prophets of the Children of Israel and their scriptures, have distanced themselves from their religious heritage, claiming it has been corrupted. Just as the Psalms have Jewish interpretations that do not acknowledge the Messiah, they also have Christian interpretations that use them to herald the coming of Christ. Although the Psalms appear to be the words of a man—David, or other prophets of the Children of Israel—ecclesiastical commentaries state that God inspired them to speak.
The Zabur is the Islamic equivalent of the Psalms, and the Quran mentions it as a book revealed to David, who, like the Psalms, plays a prominent role in the Quran. Both books mention the mountains and birds joining David in singing. While the Psalms were the product of a warrior society with its own deity, they remain a literary text and a human creation, encompassing all the good and evil inherent in humanity. This unconventional study invites readers to explore the Book of Khalid, which has captivated—and continues to captivate—a vast number of readers and scholars, both believers and non-believers.
