In Islamic tradition, the Zabur refers to the holy scripture revealed by Allah to Prophet David (Dawud), peace be upon him. The Quran explicitly mentions in verse 4:163 that David was given the Zabur, placing it among the divine books that preceded the Quran, such as the Torah (Tawrat) and the Gospel (Injil). Islamic scholars, including Al-Qurtubi, have described the Zabur as consisting primarily of words of wisdom, praise, and glorification of Allah, rather than a book of law with specific rulings on the lawful and prohibited. While the Zabur is associated with the biblical Psalms, the Islamic perspective maintains that the original revelation has undergone alteration over time. The core message of the Zabur, as understood in Islam, was to call people to the worship of the one true God and to provide spiritual guidance through devotional hymns and supplications.
