“Second son of Ibrahim ﷺ, born to Sarah in their advanced age as a glad tiding, and forefather of the Children of Israel.”

Prophet Ishaq ﷺ was granted to Ibrahim and Sarah in their old age as an explicit divine gift announced by visiting angelic messengers. Praised in the Qur'an as 'a prophet from among the righteous' and endowed with knowledge and piety, Ishaq continued the prophetic mission of monotheism in the land of Canaan (Palestine). Through his son Yaqub (Israel), he became the forefather of the succession of Israelite prophets.
