*THE 25 PROPHETS MENTIONED IN THE GLORIOUS QUR-ĀN*
*24. PROPHET ILYĀS (May Allāh's peace be upon him)*
✔️ Family history of Prophet Ilyās (Elias)
He is Ilyās Ibn Yassa and Funahasu Ibn Izaru Ibn Harūn Ibn 'Imrān. This is the brief history of his family.
Almighty Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) use to send Prophets to Israel in order to preach, teach and remind them to worship only one God (Allāh), that is, what they have forgotten because of their refusal to abide by what they read in Tawrāt (Gospel).
During the time of Israelites, they were not united. They lived in Ash-Shām. The Prophet divided Ash-Shām into different parts and gave the Israelites leadership in order to rule in their respective areas. Then the family of Prophet Harūn, the brother of Prophet Mūsa (Peace be upon them) were assigned to rule Ba'alabakkah and its environ. They are also the relatives of Ilyās. Then Almighty Allāh sent Ilyās as a Prophet to them. During that time there was a ruler called Akhab. He is a great polytheist and he made most of his people to worship idols instead of Almighty Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala). He usually forced them to worship idols.
They have an idol called Ba'al. It is very tall and has four faces. Ibn Is'hāq said: " "Ba'al is one woman they use to worship as god." Then Almighty Allāh says:
Surah As-Saaffat, Verses 124-126:
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allah?
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ الْخَالِقِينَ
"Will you call upon Ba'l (a well- known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators,
اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ آبَائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
"Allāh, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"
✔️ Is Prophet Ilyās a messenger of Allāh?
Almighty Allāh says in the Glorious Qur-ān:
Surah As-Saaffat, Verse 123:
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
And verily, Iliyas (Elias) was one of the Messengers.
*May Allāh's Peace be upon him (Prophet Ilyās). Ameen*
