Are you sure you didn’t get what I meant to say. Yahya and Elijah were two different people. yes, no doubt about it but in Malachi’s prophecy about coming of Elijah, it was about Yahya. When Jesus(as) himself solved the riddle then who are we to say otherwise. This is not re-incarnation. Our holy prophet (pbuh) was also referred to as like Moses(as) in prophecies. So this is another way of saying the same.

Here are two extracts from the old testament and new testament

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” Malachi 4:5

“He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.” Malachi 4:6

“Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name John. 14"And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. 15"For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine or liquor; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, while yet in his mother’s womb. 16"And he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. 17"And it is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous; so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord,” (Luke 1:13-17).

No I heard you .. I have things to say about this and can elaborate… inshaAllah later, but for now … the return of Isa (AS) is from Islamic sources … but the return of Elijah is from Jewish sources … I believe in Islamic sources and have no real obligation to look to Jewish prophecies as a starting point for belief. In the account of the transfiguration Elijah does indeed come according to the New Testament … there are also other places where Elijah could have come in history but was not recognised … The main criticism of the Jews regarding John the Baptist is that he didn’t manage really to align many people to the path. There were many people who could have been Elijah between Malachi and Isa (AS), however the same cannot be said after Muhammad (SAW) regarding Isa (AS).

And if Isa (AS) allegedly solved the riddle, then what did he say about the Ascension of Elijah ???
