Elijah in Islam said to be the same as Elijah
Ilyās (Arabic: إلياس) was a prophet and messenger of God (Allah) who was sent to guide the Children of Israel. He was given the prophetic mission to prevent people from worshipping idols. Ilyas is the prophetic predecessor to Alyasa. Some Islamic scholars believe, that Ilyas is from the progeny of Harun (Aaron).Some Muslims believe that Ilyas is still alive and attends Hajj every year, along with Khidr. Some Muslims also believe that Ilyas will return at the end times.Early life
In Islamic sources, Ilyas' full name is Ilyas ibn Yasin. According to many Islamic sources and the Bible, Ilyas is alive and ascended to skies. However, Ibn Kathir did not accept these hadiths and considered them among Isra'iliyat. In Mu'jam al-buldan, Yaqut al-Hamawi mentioned a grave for Ilyas in Baalbek.A shrine was later built over this grave, but it was dedicated to a "Prophet Aila" even though locals believed it was the tomb of Elias.
