Yahya, Peace be upon him ّلاَُا ٚ٤ِػ ٢ؾ٣
John the Baptist. A prophet of Islam. Son of the Prophet
Zakaria and Al-Yasaabat (Elizabeth), and the maternal cousin
of Mariam (Mary), Mother of Isa (Jesus), peace be on all of
them. He was therefore a cousin of the Prophet Isa (Jesus), Son
of Mariam (Mary). He was sent by Allah Ta'ala to prepare the
way for the Prophet Isa. The Prophet Yahya was imprisoned,
then later beheaded by Herod in order to prove his infatuation
for a dancing girl (his niece). It is unfortunate that the Nasara
(Christians) choose to call him John, because the name Yahya
has a special place in history. He was the first man ever to be
called Yahya. See Holy Qur'an, Aali'Imran (3):39,Al-An'am
(6):85, Maryam (19):12-15, Al-Anbiya (2l):90-91.
