Tale#54: Prophetic Tales: Episode 20: Prophet Yahya (AS) 🌿
The Pure Heart & Truthful Prophet
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem
Among the prophets mentioned in the Quran, Prophet Yahya (AS) shines with a rare purity of heart and an unwavering commitment to truth. His life teaches children and adults alike that faith is not measured by age, strength, or status—but by sincerity, honesty, and obedience to Allah.
A Miracle Child, Answered Dua 🌙
Prophet Yahya (AS) was a gift from Allah to Prophet Zakariyya (AS)—a child born after years of quiet, hopeful supplication. Allah granted him not only life but also wisdom, understanding, and righteousness from a very young age.
Allah says in the Quran:
“O Yahya, take the Scripture with determination.”
(Surah Maryam 19:12)
Even as a child, Yahya (AS) carried knowledge with seriousness and purpose—showing us that young hearts are fully capable of deep faith.
A Heart Filled With Mercy 🌿
Prophet Yahya (AS) was known for his gentleness, humility, and compassion. He lived a simple life, stayed away from arrogance, and treated people with kindness. Allah describes him as:
“…compassionate, pure, and righteous.”
(Surah Maryam 19:13)
His purity was not just in actions, but in intention. He never sought praise or power—only Allah’s pleasure.
Standing Firm Upon Truth ✨
One of the most powerful lessons from Prophet Yahya’s life is his fearlessness in speaking the truth, even when it came at great personal cost. He never compromised Allah’s commands to please people.
His story teaches children that honesty is not always easy—but it is always right. Truthfulness may require courage, but Allah honors those who stand firm upon it.
Lessons for Children and Families 🌸
Prophet Yahya (AS) teaches us:
Purity of heart matters more than appearance
Truthfulness is a lifelong responsibility
Kindness and humility are signs of strong faith
Obedience to Allah brings honor—now and in the Hereafter
These lessons are especially meaningful for children growing up in a world full of noise, pressure, and compromise.
A Reflection for Parents 🌙
When teaching children about Prophet Yahya (AS), remind them that goodness does not require being loud or powerful. Sometimes, the strongest hearts are the quietest ones—those that choose honesty, kindness, and obedience every single day.
Encourage your child to speak the truth gently, treat others with mercy, and protect their heart from pride. These are the qualities Allah loved in Prophet Yahya (AS).
