Why is king David and the house of David important?

Answer 1

David (peace be upon him) as per Islam is a great messenger of God from the Israilites (desendants of Israiel namely Jakop). David is mentioned in the scripture of the Muslims (the Quran) in various places such as 38:17-26. David used to have beutiful voice when reciting the Zaboor (revelation from God - maybe the Psalms). Muslims name their children after David and they call him "Dawood" in Arabic. If a Muslim rejects the prophethood of David then the Muslim gets out of the fold of Islam as it's part of the articls of faith in Islam to belive in the authentic prophets before Mohammad such as Noah, Ibrahma, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them all).
