And with Allah's permission they routed them. Dawud killed
Goliath and Allah gave him kingship and wisdom and taught him
whatever He willed. If it were not for Allah's driving some people
back by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted.
But Allah shows favour to all the worlds. (Qur'an, 2:251)
My Lord, You have granted power to me on earth and taught me
the true meaning of events. Originator of the heavens and earth,
You are my Friend in this world and the Next. So take me as a
Muslim at my death and join me to the people who are righteous.'
(Qur'an, 12:101)
We made his kingdom strong and gave him wisdom and decisive
speech. (Qur'an, 38:20)
Or do they in fact envy other people for the bounty Allah has
granted them? We gave the family of Ibrahim the Book and
Wisdom, and We gave them an immense kingdom. (Qur'an, 4:54)

HE JUDGES BY THE QUR'AN
It is He Who raised up among the unlettered people a Messenger
from them to recite His Signs to them and purify them and teach
them the Book and Wisdom, even though before that they were
clearly misguided. (Qur'an, 62:2)
Judge between them by what Allah has sent down and do not
follow their whims and desires. And beware of them lest they lure
you away from some of what Allah has sent down to you. If they
turn their backs, then know that Allah wants to afflict them with
some of their wrong actions. Many of mankind are deviators.
(Qur'an, 5:49)
We have sent down the Book to you with the truth so that you can
judge between people according to what Allah has shown to you.
But do not be an advocate for the treacherous. (Qur'an, 4:105)
