                          Among those who behaved in this way despite being from
                 the line of the prophets were some of the sons of Prophet Ya’qub (as).
                          Allah speaks of Prophet Ya’qub (as) many times in the
                 Qur’an, describing him as sincere, strong, man of inner sight, chosen
                 and favoured. Allah speaks of Prophet Ya’qub’s superior qualities (as),
                 in these verses:
