Qur'an . In theBible he is known asElisha (or sometimes as Eliseus), and is regarded by both Jews and Christians as a prophet.The Story of Al-Yasa
Al-Yasa‘ was the son of Safet and the successor to
Ilyas . Ilyas, directed by God, appointed him before vanishing into the protection of God. Al-Yasa‘ was thus the next prophet to theIsraelites .He inherited from Ilyas the obstinate king and queen of Israel who would not listen to any reason. Al-Yasa‘ did many miraculous deeds to show them the powers of God, but they called him a magician like they had called Ilyas before him. They continued their defiance throughout his life.
After a period of time the Israelites were conquered by the Assyrians. The Assyrians destroyed the
Temple Mount and inflicted great damage on Israel.References
