this is actually the Mazar of the prophet Hosea [Ar. Hoshu'a] (Peace be
upon him). Hazrat Prophet Joshua (Peace be upon him) is not mentioned
by name in the Quran but Muslim scholars say that he is the "companion"
of Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) mentioned in the holy Qur'an
(18:60-65) and he became prophet after Hazrat Musa (Peace be upon him).
Scholars on the narratives in the Quran referring to the Israelites'
