Elijah () was a prophet in Israel in the 9th century BC. He appears in the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, Mishnah, Christian Bible, and the Qur'an. According to the Books of Kings, Elijah raised the dead, brought fire down from heaven, and ascended into heaven on a whirlwind. Based on a prophecy in Malachi, many Jews still await his return as precursor to the coming of the Messiah.
