THE PROPHETS OF ISLAM Al-Huda Foundation
PROPHET
AL-YASA
Al-Yasa'
was the son of Safet and was appointed his khalifa by Ilyas before he
vanished into the protection of Allah. He
was appointed prophet to Banu Israil after Ilyas.
He
inherited from Ilyas the obstinate king and queen of Bani Israil who would not
listen to any reason. Al-Yasa' did many
miraculous deeds to show them the powers of Allah but they called him a magician
like they had called Ilyas before him. They
continued defying throughout his life.
After
a period of time the mighty Assyrians conquered Bani Israil, destroyed their
dwellings including the Bait-ul Muqqadas and took away all the precious
relics. They raged such havoc in the land that several tribes of Bani
Israil have lost their ancestoral traces to this day.
