48:23
Although fundamentally and internally there is no change in the Divine sunnat (law, 48:23), and the spiritual and intellectual miracles of the Prophets and the Awliya are alike, externally the Divine programme is such that every Prophet and every Wali (Imam) is assigned specific work according to the requirements of time and space. Thus Hazrat Da'ud was assigned the work of representing the Angel Jadd and of building a solid bridge of music between the human world (nasut) and the angelic world (malakut) so that among the countless bounties of true religion, there should also be the great bounty of the love for God, the Prophet and the Imam. Hazrat Da'ud therefore included the music of different instruments in his songs of praise, prayers, etc., in order to attain this supreme purpose.
