[[ Asad’s notes - 48; The Hebrew prophet Elijah (Ilyas in Arabic) is mentioned in the Bible (I Kings xvii ff. and II Kings i-ii) as having lived in the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the reigns of Ahab and Ahaziah – i.e., in the ninth century B.C. – and having been succeeded by Elisha (al-Yasa in Arabic). The above stress on his, too, having been “one of the message-bearers” (min al-mursalin) recalls the Quranic principle that God makes “no distinction between any of His apostles” (cf. 2:136 and 285, 3:84, 4:152, and the corresponding notes) ]]
