إسحاق عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ
Ishaq (Isaac)
Angels brought Ibrahim and his wife the good news of Ishaq, and after him Ya‘qub. Allah made Ishaq a prophet among the righteous and blessed him and Ibrahim. Allah granted Ibrahim Ishaq and Ya‘qub as a gift and made them all righteous leaders guiding by His command.
From the Quran
وَٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ قَآئِمَةٞ فَضَحِكَتۡ فَبَشَّرۡنَٰهَا بِإِسۡحَٰقَ وَمِن وَرَآءِ إِسۡحَٰقَ يَعۡقُوبَ
And his wife was standing, and she smiled.[564] Then We gave her good tidings of Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob.
Translator’s notes
[564] In pleasure at the news of the forthcoming punishment of the evil people who denied Prophet Lot (upon him be peace).
وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيّٗا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ
And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.[1299]
Translator’s notes
[1299] This verifies that the firstborn son who was to be sacrificed was Ishmael and not Isaac, as claimed by the Jews and Christians.
وَبَٰرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسۡحَٰقَۚ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحۡسِنٞ وَظَالِمٞ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ مُبِينٞ
And We blessed him and Isaac. But among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself [i.e., sinner].
وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ نَافِلَةٗۖ وَكُلّٗا جَعَلۡنَا صَٰلِحِينَ
And We gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] We made righteous.
وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ أَئِمَّةٗ يَهۡدُونَ بِأَمۡرِنَا وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِمۡ فِعۡلَ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَإِقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَإِيتَآءَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةِۖ وَكَانُواْ لَنَا عَٰبِدِينَ
And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakāh; and they were worshippers of Us.
