Daoud tutored both the caliph, Muley Hassan ben el Mehdi and Ahmed Belbachir Haskouri in Tetouan's palace where they both grew up.[2]

In 1923, Daoud became the head of a secondary school founded by El Haj Abdesselam Bennouna. He was also a prominent member of the Human Rights League in Tetouan and the Hispano-Muslim Association.[3]

Along with Abdesalam Bennouna, Daoud formed the group al Muslihun (the Reformers) in 1926.[1]
