Hazrat Yahyah/ John the Baptist/ John The forerunner is regarded as a Prophet by four religions: Christianity, Islam, Mandaeanism, and the Bahi Faith.
According to Christians in Luke 1:36, he was a relative of Jesus [and was beheaded on August 29th sometime in first century Eeswi (Christian era)].
The Qura'an identifies Hazrat Yahyah as the son of Hazrat Zachariah and cousin of Hazrat Isa.
