The biblical patriarch Isaac (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. Muslims hold Isaac in deep veneration because they believe that both Isaac and his older half-brother Ishmael continued their father's spiritual legacy through their subsequent preaching of the message of Allah after the death of Abraham.[2] Isaac is mentioned in fifteen passages of the Quran.[3] Along with being mentioned several times in the Quran, Isaac is held up as one of Islam's prophets.
