Summary
Prophet Ilyas is a messenger mentioned in Surah al-Saffat. He was sent to the people of Ba’labak, calling them to worship Allah alone and abandon the idol Ba’l. Prophet Ilyasa’ was a prophet from the Children of Israel, mentioned twice in the Quran, and is said to have succeeded Ilyas in calling their people. The text records several views on the lineage of both prophets, and notes that the miracles attributed to Ilyasa’ come from Israiliyyat sources whose authenticity is known only to Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
