Zechariah
A descendant of Solomon, Zechariah (Zakariya, زكريا) was a patron of Mary, the mother of Jesus. According to Islamic tradition, he prayed to God asking for a son, since his sterile wife Elizabeth (al-Yashbi) could not provide one. God granted his wishes, temporarily lifting his wife's sterility and allowing her to give birth to John the Baptist. His death was considered tragic as several Israelites severed his body in half.
