Biography

Daniel is an Abrahamic figure. Although he does not appear in the Quran, he is called a prophet in Islam. In the Jewish faith, he is not considered a prophet either, though he appears. In the Christian Bible, he acted as a reader of dreams for a Babylonian king and had various visions for the future. He is the figure that was thrown to a den of lions but miraculously survived. There is little evidence to suggest Daniel was a historical figure.
