Isḥāq ﷺ

"The evidence suggests that the sacrifice was Ismail, as he lived in Mecca while there is no record of Ishaq visiting during his childhood. The Quran seems to indicate Ismail, as it mentions the sacrifice story followed by the good news of Isaac. Some claim it was Ishaq, based on Israeli traditions which have distortions. They assert that Allah commanded Ibrahim to sacrifice his only son, but Ismail was the firstborn, not Ishaq. This claim is seen as driven by envy, as Ismail is the ancestor of the Arabs, including the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, while Ishaq is the ancestor of Jacob or Israel."

"Ishaq did. If this were not the case, mentioning Ya'qub specifically would serve no purpose apart from all other descendants of Ishaq. When Ya'qub is mentioned, it implies that they would find joy and satisfaction in his presence, just as they did with Ishaq. Allah the Exalted has also said, And We bestowed upon him Ishaq and Ya'qub, each of them We guided, and when he withdrew from them and what they worshipped besides Allah, We granted him Ishaq and Ya'qub."

"apparent meaning which indicates Ishmael. Ibn Ka'ba al-Qurazi argued that it was Ishmael, based on the verse, So we gave him glad tidings of Isaac, and after Isaac, Jacob. He reasoned that it would be illogical to receive glad tidings of Isaac and Jacob, then be commanded to sacrifice Isaac before Jacob's birth. Al-Suhayli objected to this argument, suggesting that the phrase about Isaac and Jacob are separate sentences."

"to receive the blessing. She dressed Jacob in Esau's clothes and placed goatskins on his arms and neck since Esau was hairier than Jacob. When Jacob brought the dish to Isaac, Isaac asked, who are you? Jacob replied, your son. Isaac felt him and said, the voice is Jacob's, but the hands and clothes are Esau's. After Isaac ate, he blessed Jacob to be greater than his brothers, that his words would prevail over them and the people after him, and that his provision and descendants would be abundant."

"father twelve great leaders, and I will make him a great nation. We have spoken about this previously, and God knows best. Allah's words, And we gave her good tidings of Isaac, and after Isaac, Jacob, from Surah Hud, indicate that she would enjoy the presence of her son, Isaac, and then after him, her grandson Jacob. This means Jacob was born during their lifetimes, bringing joy to their eyes, just as Isaac did."

"He reasoned that it would be impossible for Isaac to be sacrificed before Jacob was born, as it contradicts the preceding glad tidings, and Allah knows best. Al-Suhayli refuted the deduction regarding Isaac by explaining that the statement, We gave her the good news of Isaac, stands as a complete sentence. The following phrase, and after Isaac, Jacob, is a separate sentence and not part of the glad tidings."

"We have previously spoken on this matter, and Allah knows best. His saying, Exalted be he. So we gave her the glad tidings of Ishaq, and after Ishaq, Ya'qub, indicates that she would experience the joy of her son Ishaq's presence, and after him, the birth of his son Ya'qub. This suggests that Ya'qub would be born during their lifetimes, bringing them joy, just as Ishaq did."

"Ibn Kathir narrated that others reported this creature gnawed at his staff for a year until he fell. This has been similarly narrated by a group from the early generations, and Allah knows best. Ishaq ibn Bishr narrated from Muhammad ibn Ishaq that Solomon, peace be upon him, lived for fifty-two years, and his kingdom lasted for forty years. Ishaq also reported from Ikrimah through Ibn Abbas that his kingdom lasted for twenty years, and Allah knows best. Ibn Jarir stated that Solomon's entire lifespan was over fifty years. In the fourth year of his reign, he began the construction of the temple. After him, his son Rehoboam ruled for seventeen years, and then the kingdom"
