ZACHARIAS IN THE BIBLE ZACHARIAS GOT HIS EXPRESSED WISH VERSE NO.7ِ11

      The name of YAHYÄ is found in five points in the Holy Qurän. He was one of the Messengers of God, who became a prophet when he was only a child, having all the necessary wisdom and merits for that attainment. Like Jesus Christ, he too, did not marry, and suppressed his carnal desires. JOHN and JESUS were cousins, and it was John who baptized Jesus.

      Islamic traditions imply that HAZRAT IMAM HUSSAIN (AS), had some similarities with John. When he set out from Medina to KARBLÄ, in places he repeated saying:ِ

      ``How worthless is this world in the sight of God, that the head of YAHYÄ was put in a tray, and offered as a present to an unchaste king!''

      And we know that the same thing was done with the sacred head of, HAZRAT IMAM HUSSAIN (AS).

      John's martyrdom was as wonderful as his birth:ِ The whore-monger king of Palestine (HEROD) fell in love with the daughter of his brother, and decided to marry her, which was something awful and unlawful in the Mosaic Law. John, the prophet of God was informed of that; and declared the marriage to be unlawful and a heinous sin. When the girl heard that, and knew John to be the main impediment to her marriage with her uncle, she was filled with anger and hatred, and decided to take vengeance from John the Baptist.

      Using the influence of her love affair, she seduced her uncle to slay John and to offer his head to her as the best of the king's present! Herod, who was in a mad love with the daughter of his brother agreed with her request, and the prophet was beheaded by his order! And the sacred head of John, was put in a golden tray and offered to the harlot!
