In it is a beautiful… analysis… of the character… of John (Yahya)… peace be upon him… Why did Allah say of him: ﴿يا زكريا إنا نبشرك بغلام اسمه يحيى لم نجعل له من قبل سميا﴾ “O Zakariya (Zachariah)! Verily, We give you the glad tidings of a son, His name will be Yahya (John). We have given that name to none before (him).” (Maryam 19:7)?! Why was John alone described with His words: “And (made him) sympathetic to men as a mercy (or a grant) from Us” (Maryam 19:13)? In it is the life of the Prophet of whom the Messiah, peace be upon him, said: A prophet?… Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet!!!
