ProphetYahya

The Story of the Prophet Yahya (pbuh)

Yahya (pbuh) was the son that Allah had promised to Zakariya (pbuh). He was to name his son, Yahya (pbuh). Never before him, was there a person with this name. He spent his entire life showing compassion for mankind, even as a child. He was the vision of piety and goodness. Yahya (pbuh) was always good to his parents and all of the elderly people around him. He lived his life according to the Torah, trying to encourage people to follow it and learn the oneness of God.

Yahya (pbuh) also bore witness of Maryam's innocence, at the virgin birth of 'Isa (pbuh). He stood by 'Isa's (pbuh) side and affirmed the Prophet hood of 'Isa (pbuh). He would become one of the companions of 'Isa (pbuh) during his Prophet hood. The Romans unhappy with Yahya (pbuh) activities with 'Isa (pbuh), arranged for his death. May peace be upon Yahya.
