With Prophet Ibrahim (as) there began an uninterrupted
line of descent. Although he carried out his role as a messenger to the
deniers of Allah with great sincerity and determination, most people
around him (with the exception of his relative, Prophet Lut (as)) failed
to heed his message. At this point, Prophet Ibrahim (as) requested
from Allah a pure believer to be his heir and to continue to represent
the religion of Allah on earth. Allah responded to the Prophet
Ibrahim’s prayer (as) with a miracle, giving his wife a pure child, even
though she was old and barren. In this way Prophet Ibrahim (as) be-
came the father of the Prophet Ishaq (as), who was a distinguished
prophet in the sight of Allah, possessed of understanding, faith and
God concsiousness. In time, Prophet Ishaq (as) also had a son and
called him Ya’qub. Both were gifts of Allah to the Prophet Ibrahim
(as):
