Who was the greatest mormon prophet?
I think that most members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) would agree that it is inappropriate to say that one prophet is greater than another, since they are all called by God to lead.
However, some mayfeel justified in saying that one is greater than another, and certainly most have a favorite or two.
Some may say that Joseph Smith was the greatest Mormon prophet. He organized the Church, was the first prophet of this dispensation, and is the only prophet thus far to die in defense of the Church.
Others may say that the current prophet is the greatest, because his teachings are meant specifically for us at this point in time.
Others might choose a prophet that lead for a long period of time or that is known for overseeing some major positive changes in the Church. For example, Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff, David O. McKay, Spencer W. Kimball, and Gordon B. Hinckley.

In Biblical terms a prophet isn't someone who foretells the future, although that can happen. A Biblical prophet is one who speaks for God, or through whom God speaks. Moses' story can be found in the first 5 books of the Bible. When he speaks what God has told him, those are "his prophecies."

Station of Ibrahim (Maqam Ibrahim)
In order to complete the upper part of the walls of the Kaaba, Ibrahim stood upon a large stone block which he moved along when each section was completed. When the Kaaba was finished, the large stone block was left outside the Kaaba, close to the eastern wall of the sanctuary. It became known as the Maqam Ibrahim (the station of Ibrahim). Today, the Maqam Ibrahim, with the stone within, is located in front of the door of the Kaaba. The boulder is about 2 x 3 feet. Where it stands today is the place where Ibrahim offered up his prayers.

The Station of Abraham is a glass and metal enclosure within the pilgrimage circuits of the Kaaba. According to Muslim tradition:
"God made the stone under Abraham's feet into something like clay so that his foot sunk into it. That was a miracle. It was transmitted on the authority of Abu Ja'far al-Baqir (may peace be upon him) that he said: Three stones were sent down from the Garden: the Station of Abraham, the rock of the children of Israel, and the Black Stone, which God entrusted Abraham with as a white stone. It was whiter than paper, but became black from the sins of the children of Adam."

Which prophet are made king and his son is also king and prophet?
In the Christian tradition, there was never a king who was also a prophet. The Kings, David and Solomon were granted wisdom, but had prophets as their advisers in order to know God's will.
In the Islamic tradition, Hazrat Daud (David) was both a prophet and a king. His son Hazrat Sulaiman (AS) was a King, powerful like him had never been a king before him, and after him has never been and will never be a king-who can rule over Jinns, air, and birds etc.
In Judaism, the Talmud (Megillah 14a) states that there were 48 Israelite prophets, without naming them. The commentaries disagree concerning whom to put on such a list. Rashi's commentary lists King David and King Solomon as being among the prophets (see attached Link), while the Vilna Gaon quotes the Seder Olam who does not include either of the two.
