اليسع عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ
Al-Yasa‘ (Elisha)
Allah names Al-Yasa‘ among the prophets He preferred above the worlds, together with Ismail, Yunus and Lut. He is also counted among the best of people. The Quran does not give further details of his life.
From the Quran
وَإِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلۡيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطٗاۚ وَكُلّٗا فَضَّلۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
And Ishmael and Elisha and Jonah and Lot - and all [of them] We preferred over the worlds.
وَٱذۡكُرۡ إِسۡمَٰعِيلَ وَٱلۡيَسَعَ وَذَا ٱلۡكِفۡلِۖ وَكُلّٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَخۡيَارِ
And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.
Peace be upon them all. Stories are summarised from the Quran only; we do not add details from other sources.
