I was doing a bit of research and I fell upon a very interesting subject about prophet Yahya may peace be with him or as he is known to the Jews and Christians as John the Baptist. Anyway to get to the point according to the Bible, to put it simply, Yahya (p.b.w.h) died because a woman asked for his head from a king and that he was killed while still young. Most Muslims accept this as the way he died, but we all (Muslims) know we can't trust the Bible and it is in the Quran that Allaah (s.w.t) told Zakariya (p.b.w.h) that his sons' name is 'Yahya' which in arabic means 'to live on' or 'to be alive' not 'God is Gracious' or 'given by God'. They believe that he died young but why would Allah (s.w.t) name him Yahya (p.b.w.h) if he was gonna die young? There is no mention in the Quran or the hadiths (as far as I know) that includes Yahya's (p.b.w.h) death.
(19:12) "O John! Hold the Book with all your strength."9 We had bestowed wisdom upon him while he was still a child;10 يٰيَحۡيٰى خُذِ الۡكِتٰبَ بِقُوَّةٍ*! ؕ وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُ الۡحُكۡمَ صَبِيًّا ۙ
(19:13) and We also endowed him with tenderness11 and purity, and he was exceedingly pious وَّحَنَانًـا مِّنۡ لَّدُنَّا وَزَكٰوةً *!ؕ وَّكَانَ تَقِيًّا ۙ
(19:14) and cherishing to his parents. Never was he insolent or rebellious. وَّبَرًّۢا بِوَالِدَيۡهِ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ جَبَّارًا عَصِيًّا
(19:15) Peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he will die, and the day he will be raised up alive.12 وَسَلٰمٌ عَلَيۡهِ يَوۡمَ وُلِدَ وَيَوۡمَ يَمُوۡتُ وَيَوۡمَ يُبۡعَثُ حَيًّا
(The Holy Quran, Surah Maryam)
That last verse was only said about Yahya (p.b.u.h) and Al-Messih Isa ibn Maryam (Jesus Christ) Peace be upon him. Everybody is welcome to discuss or to enlighten me on the subject.
Shukran
Peace
