The opening as it read in 2005
Al-Yasa is a prophet in the Qur'an .1In the Bible he is known as Elisha .2Al-Yasa was the successor to Ilyas . Al-Yasa' was the son of Safet. Ilyas appointed him before vanishing into the protection of God. Al-Yasa was thus the next prophet to the Israelites . He inherited from Ilyas the obstinate king and queen of Israel who would not listen to any reason. Al-Yasa did many miraculous deeds to show them the powers of God but they called him a magician like they had called Ilyas before him. After a period of time the Israelites were conquered by the Assyrians . The Assyrians destroyed the Temple Mount and inflicted great damage on Israel.3
