Jalut

जालूत
said jaa-loot
also written: Goliath
Meaning

The Qur'anic name for Goliath, the giant champion of the enemy host slain by the young David (Dawood) with a sling.

Usage & notes

Jalut is the emblem of overweening brute power brought down by a single God-aided youth; the David-and-Jalut contrast stands for faith and right overcoming arrogant might.
