Isaac in Islam

The biblical patriarch Isaac, Isak (Arabic: إِسْحَاق or إِسْحٰق[note] ʾIsḥāq) is recognized as a prophet of God by Muslims.

[1] As in Judaism and Christianity, Islam maintains that Isaac was the son of the patriarch and prophet Abraham from his wife Sarah.

[6] The Quran states that Abraham received "good tidings of Isaac, a prophet, of the righteous", and that God blessed them both (37: 112).

And among their progeny are the virtuous and those who clearly wrong themselves"[7] In a fuller description, when angels came to Ibrahim to tell him of the future punishment to be imposed on Sodom and Gomorrah, his wife, Sarah, "laughed, and We gave her good tidings of Isaac, and after Isaac of (a grandson) Jacob" (11: 71–74); and it is further explained that this event will take place despite Abraham and Sarah's old age.

His tomb and that of his wife Rebekah is considered to be in the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, the West Bank, known in Islam as the Masjid-i-Ibrahim ("Mosque of Abraham").
