'''Elias (a)''' was one of the prophets of the Israelites. His name in the Holy Scriptures is recorded as "Eliya," which has become known in Arabic as "Elias ." The name of this prophet of God is mentioned twice in the Quran, where he is described as a believer, one of the righteous servants of God, and a sent prophet. According to some Islamic narrations, Elias (a) enjoys eternal life and every year accompanies [[Khidr (a)]] on the pilgrimage.

The Quran mentions Elias in two verses, acknowledging him as a believer, one of the righteous servants of God, and a sent prophet. It speaks of his efforts to combat the idolatry of his people and his call to them to piety and monotheism. (Sura Al-Saffat, 123; Surah Al-An'am, 85-86). Some argue that the Elias mentioned in verse 130 of Sura Al-Saffat is also the same Elias .<ref>Bayḍāwi,''Anwār al-tanzīl wa asrār al-taʾwīl'', vol. 5, p. 18; Suyūṭī, ''Al-Durr al-manthūr fī tafsīr al-maʾthūr'', vol. 5, p. 286.</ref>
