Tabut
تابوتDefinition
The Ark of the Covenant — the sacred chest containing relics of Musa and Harun, which was returned to the Israelites as a sign confirming Talut's kingship. Its arrival, carried by angels, established that political authority must be grounded in divine legitimacy.
As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
