The background of National Daniel Day

Daniel has Hebrew ancestry. It is a biblical name whose meaning in the Old Testament is “God is my judge.” Thus, the biblical Daniel was renowned for his unwavering devotion to the God of Israel. He was thrown into a lion’s den for refusing to bow to the monarch, but God rescued him. The name never seems to go out of style.

Daniel is the primary protagonist of the “Book of Daniel.” In the Hebrew Bible, Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon seized Daniel, a noble-born Jewish adolescent. He served the monarch and his succeeding heirs until the Persian conquest of Cyprus. He remained faithful to Israel’s God throughout. Daniel is venerated across the Abrahamic faiths. He is not a Jewish prophet, but he is regarded as a religious and moral individual. Despite not being mentioned in the Quran, both Islam and Christianity revere him as a prophet.

As a devotee of the god El, he is renowned for his piety and sagacity. The “Book of Daniel” is a biography of Daniel. It includes both history and eschatology. The volume has played a significant role in all three Abrahamic religions. Haman, the prime minister of Ahasuerus, is believed to have murdered him. Before being buried, Daniel’s corpse was said to have been placed in a tower in Ecbatana. Today, six localities claim to be the final resting place and tomb of Daniel: Babylon, Kirkuk, Muqdadiyah, Susa, Malamir, and Samarkand.
