The Prophet John (Yahya) (pbuh)

According to the Gospel, John (pbuh) (known
as John the Baptist in the Christian tradition) began
preaching some time before the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
appeared about the Messiah's (pbuh) imminent arrival.
In fact, he became the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) greatest sup-
porter.
By our Lord’s Will, the Prophet John's (pbuh) birth was
a miracle, as Allah reveals in the Qur’an:
Kaf Ha Ya 'Ayn Sad. Remember your Lord's mercy
to His servant Zechariah, when he called on his Lord
in secret and said: "My Lord, my bones have lost
their strength and my head is crowned with white.
But in calling on You, My Lord, I have never been
disappointed. I fear [that] my relatives [will forget
You] when I am gone, and my wife is barren, so give
me an heir from You to be my inheritor and the in-
heritor of the family of Jacob. And make him, my
Lord, pleasing to You." "Zechariah! We give you the
good news of a boy named John, a name we have
given to no one else before." He [Zechariah] said:
"My Lord! How can I have a boy when my wife is
barren and I have reached advanced old age?" He
[the Lord] said: "It will be so! Your Lord says: 'That is
easy for me to do. I created you before, when you
were not anything.'" (Surah Maryam, 1-9)
