THE STORY OF HAZRAT YAYA



Yahya       (Arabic: يحيى‎, romanized: Yaḥyā), also written Yahia is a common Arabic male given name. Because Yahya (commonly identified as John the Baptist) is a prophet in Islam, Yahya is a very common name in the Muslim world. Yahya (Arabic: يَحِيَّى‎, romanized: Yaḥiyyā) is also the Arabic equivalent of the name of the Levitical priest Jehiah in the Bible.[1]
In Persian, Yahya is a title of address for a senior village or community elder; it is also a common nickname for the 12th Imam.
