– Ngisesha amagama abesilisa, ngahlangana negama elithi “Elyas”. Ngisesha ku-inthanethi, ngathola amagama afanayo, kodwa angikwazanga ukuthola ukuthi kukhona yini ukuxhumana phakathi kwawo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, angikwazanga ukuthola incazelo ephelele yaleli gama, umsuka walo, nokuthi liyavumelana yini nenkolo yethu. Ngakho-ke, imibuzo engifuna ukukubuza yona yile:
– Ingabe kukhona yini ukwenqabela ukubiza igama elithi “Elyas” ngokwenkolo yethu?
– Ngithole amagama afanayo ku-inthanethi, njengokuthi “Ilyas” noma “Elyesa”. Ingabe kukhona ubuhlobo phakathi kwala magama?
– Lisho ukuthini igama elithi “Elyas”?
Mthandiwe, mzalwane wethu,
Enye yezibopho zabazali ukunika umntwana igama elihle. Ngale ndaba, uMprofethi (ukuthula nokubusiswa kukaNkulunkulu kube phezu kwakhe) wathi:
“Nizobizwa ngamagama enu nangamagama abazali benu ngosuku lweqiyama. Ngakho-ke, yibani nezingane zenu ngamagama amahle.”
(Abu Dawud, Adab, 70).
Amagama azobekwa akudingeki ukuthi abe ngesi-Arabhu futhi akudingeki ukuthi avele eQur’an. Okufanele kuqashelwe lapho kubekwa igama ukuthi igama elibekiwe alingathusi,
okuzwakalayo futhi okungeke kwenze abanye bakujivaze
ukuba yigama.
Elias
(as) ungumprofethi oshiwo ngegama lika-Eliya eTestamenteni Elidala.
(2 IziKronike 21:12)
Kuthiwa leli gama, elithi Elias ngesiGreki nangesiLatini, libizwa ngokuthi Elyas ngolimi lwase-Ethiopia, kanti le ndlela yokulibiza yagcina isidluliselwe olimini lwesi-Arabhu njengo-Ilyas.
Imithombo yamaJuda ibika ukuthi u-Eliya waphila ngekhulu lesi-9 BC. U-Eliya waphikisana nokwakhiwa kwethempeli likaBhali, unkulunkulu wamanga, eSamariya ngumkhosi wakwa-Israyeli u-Ahabi, futhi walwa nezinkolelo-ze.
Elias
(njengoba) igama lakhe lishiwo kanye nabanye abaprofethi abayishumi nesikhombisa ku-Surah Al-An’am (6/85).
“omunye wabalungileyo”
njengoba yaziwa kanjalo.
Izindlela zokuphimisela ezahlukene
“ELYESA”
igama layo lishiwo eQur’an-i Kerim.
(Al-An’am 6:86; Sad 38:48)
ligama lephrofethi.
Ngakho-ke
Ilyas, Elyas kanye Elyesa, amagama abafana.
kungabekwa njengoba kunjalo.
Incazelo yegama elithi Elyesa:
1.
Ngokwengcweti yezilimi u-el-Cevheri, leli gama liyigama langaphandle. Igama lokuqala ngu-Yese’, futhi ngendlela engavamile, isiqalo esithi “el” sengezwe kulo, okuyinto engatholakali kwamanye amagama angaphandle olimini lwesi-Arabhu.
(bheka el-Cevherî, isihloko se-VSA)

Leli gama
Elleyse
Abanye abafundi bathi leli gama lingabizwa nangokuthi “ka-“, kanti abanye baphawula ukuthi kungase kube igama lesi-Arabhu.
(Ibn Manzur, isihloko se-VSA)
Nakuba kungekho zimpawu ezikhomba ngqo encazelweni yegama elithi Elyesa emavesini lapho leli gama liphathwa khona, uma sibheka amavesi ngombono wezinkolelo zokuhle/ubuhle nokulunga, singathi:

Ikakhulukazi kuzo zombili izindima.
Elyesa
isminin Hz. İsmail’den hemen sonra yer alması,
“Elif, Lam, Sin, Ayın, Yâ”
njengoba kubonakala ukuthi igama liyinkomba yohlobo lwenkondlo ngokufana kwamafonta, liyinkomba yohlobo lwenkondlo nangokwencazelo.
Kukhona umuntu ofana no-Ismail, okuyigama elisho umthandazo owamukelwa nguNkulunkulu, obonakala ebangeni elibanzi lobuqu.
kungase kubhekwe njengophawu.
