A prophet of the prophets of Israel
Yahya, peace be upon him, was a prophet of the Children of Israel. The verse of God and his ability appeared in him when he created him. His father, the Prophet of God Zakariya, peace be upon him, was an old man, and his mother was barren. The Torah diligently and diligently, so he comprehended it, memorized it, acted according to it, and adhered to the commands of God Almighty and avoided His prohibitions. The Most High said: “Oh Yahya, take the Book firmly, and We gave him judgment as a young boy.” [Maryam: 12]
Yahya moved away from children's fun, and it is said that he was walking when he was young when he approached some children while they were playing, and they said to him: O Yahya, come with us to play; Yahya, peace be upon him, responded to them eloquently, saying: We were not created for play, but rather for the worship of God. Yahya was humble, tender, compassionate, and merciful, especially towards his parents. And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.” [Maryam: 13-14]
Calling people to monotheism
Yahya carried the banner of the call with his father, and he was blessed calling people to the light of monotheism to bring them out of the darkness of disbelief and misguidance to the light of Islam, and he was very keen to advise his people and preach to them to stay away from the deviations that were prevalent at that time, and one day Yahya gathered the children of Israel in Jerusalem and then He ascended the pulpit and started addressing the people, then he said: “God commanded me with five words to act upon, and I order you to act upon them. Silver) He said: This is my house, and this is my work, so make a valley for me, and he used to work and lead to other than his master, so which of you would accept his slave to be like that?!

And God commanded you to pray, so if you pray, do not turn around, for God turns His face to the face of His servant in his prayer as long as he does not turn around, and He commands you to fast, for like that is like a man in a gang with a sachet containing musk, and everyone likes or likes its smell, and the wind of the fasting person is better with God - the Almighty - from the smell of musk, and I command you to give alms, for like that is like the example of a man who was captured by the enemy, so they tied his hand to his neck, and brought him to strike his neck, so he said: I will ransom him from you with little and a lot, so he ransomed himself from them, and I command you to remember God, for like that is like a man who left the enemy He quickly follows him, until when he comes to a fortified fortress, he protects himself from them. Likewise, a servant does not protect himself from Satan except by remembering God.” [Tirmidhi]
Hadiths of the Prophet, peace be upon him, on the authority of Yahya, peace be upon him
Yahya loved solitude and being alone with himself, so he would often go to the wilds and deserts, to worship God Almighty there alone, and it was narrated that Yahya, peace be upon him, never committed a sin, and he never accepted a sin. From Yahya bin Zakariyya, they are not sinful nor did they do it »[Ahmed]
And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw Yahya, peace be upon him, on the night of the Mi’raj in the second heaven, sitting with Jesus, son of Mary. He, peace and blessings of God be upon him, says: “...then he ascended until he came to the second heaven, so he asked for it to be opened. It was said, ‘Who is this? Jibril said has been said is with you? He said: Muhammad. It was said: Was it sent to him? He said: Yes.. When I finished, if Yahya and Jesus were cousins, he said: This is Yahya and Jesus, so he greeted them, so I greeted them individually, then they said: Welcome to the righteous brother and the righteous prophet.
