Dr. Abdul Wahid Wajih, in his explanation of the Prophet Joshua and the Prophet Samuel, peace be upon them, mentions that each of these two prophets played an important role in the history of the Children of Israel after the death of the Prophet Moses, peace be upon him. The Prophet Joshua, peace be upon him: He succeeded the Prophet Moses in leading the Children of Israel after his death. He led them in the conquest of the Holy Land, and conquered Jerusalem after a long battle against the giants who controlled it. Jerusalem was conquered after fierce resistance from its inhabitants, and it is considered one of the most prominent historical events in the life of the Children of Israel. The Prophet Samuel, peace be upon him: He lived in the period after Joshua and played a major role in appointing the first king of the Children of Israel, King Talut. Samuel, peace be upon him, was a prophet and a judge, and played an important role in leading the nation at a time when it needed strong rule and religious leadership.
