﴿ وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴾

“AND, BEHOLD, Elijah [too] was indeed one of Our message-bearers”

And truly Elias read wa-inna Ilyās with the initial hamza or without wa-inna’l-yāsa was also one of the messengers. Some think that this Elias was the son of Aaron’s brother — Aaron the brother of Moses; but some say that this Elias was some other person who was sent to the people living in and around Baalbak.
