[(Prophet Ishaaq (Isaac) pbuh]

Isaac's son's-From Commentators-{1}

The Qur'an does not give details of Isaac's life, but reliable Quranic commentators mentioned that when Abraham felt that his life was drawing to a close, he wished to see Isaac married. He did not want Isaac to marry one of the Canaanites, who were pagans, so he sent a trustworth servant to Haran in Iraq to choose a bride for Isaac. The servant's choice fell upon Rebekah Bint Bethuel, Ibn Nahor (who was a brother of Abraham). Isaac married her and she gave birth to a set of twins, Esau (Aleis)* and Jacob (Ya'qub).

Ill feelings developed between the two brothers when they grew into manhood. Esau disliked the fact that Jacob was favoured by his father and by Allah with Prophethood.
This ill feeling became so serious that Esau threatened to kill his brother. Fearing for his life, Jacob fled the country.

Tidings of Isaac-Qur'anic-{13}

I seek Refuge with (Allah) from (Satan) the outcast

Almighty Allah revealed:
"Verily! There came Our Messengers to Abraham with glad tidings.
They said: "Salaam (greetings or peace)!" he answered: "Salaam (greetings or peace)!" and he hastened to entertain them roasted calf. But, when he saw their hands went not towards it (the meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: "Fear not, we have been sent against the people of Lot." And his wife was standing there and she laughed (either, because the Messengers did not eat their food or for being glad for the destru-ction of the people of Lot). But We gave her glad tidings of Isaac, and after him of Jacob.

She said (in aston-shment): "Woe unto me!
Shall I bear a child while I am an old woman, and here is my husband an old man? Verily! This is a strange thing!" They said: "Do you wonder at the Decree of Allah? The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be on you, O the family (of Abraham). Surely, He (Allah) is All* Praiseworth, All-Glorious." (Ch 11:69-73).

Tidings of Isaac-{12}

I seek Refuge with (Allah) from (Satan) the outcast

In the meantime, three angels descended to the earth; Gabriel, Israphael, and Michael.
They came in human shapes and saluted Abraham. Abraham arose and welcomed them.
He took them inside his tent thinking they were strangers and guests. He greeted them and made sure they were comfortable then excused himself to go to his people.

His wife Sarah arose when he entered. She had become old and white haired. Abraham said to her: "We have three strangers in the house." "Who are they?" She asked. "I do not know any of the,, "he answered. "What food have we got?" He asked. Half a sheep." She replied," Half a sheep! Slaughter a fat calf for them; they are strangers and guests." He ordered while leaving.

The servants roasted and served a calf.
Abraham invited the angels to eat and he started eating so as to encourage them. He continued, but when he glanced at his guests to assure they were eating, he noticed that none of them had touched the food.
He said to them: "Are you not going to eat?" He resumed eating, but when he glanced at them again he found that they were still not eating.
Their hands did not reach out for the food. He began to fear them.

Abraham fears increased. The angels however were reading his inner thoughts and one of them said: "Do not fear." Abraham raised his head and replied: "Indeed I am in fear. I have asked you to eat food but you do not stretch out your hands to eat. Do you intend me evil?"

One of the angels smiled and said: "We do not eat.
We are Allah's angels."

One of them then turned towards his wife and conveyed the glad tidings about Isaac (Ishaaq).

Abraham and Ishmael-The Sacrifice-{11}

I seek Refuge with (Allah) from (Satan) the outcast

Allah the Almighty told us of Abraham's affliction with his beloved son:

"And he said after his rescue from the fire:

'Verily! I am going to my Lord. He will guide me! My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous."
So We gave him the glad tidings of a forebearing boy.
And when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offer you in sacrifice to Allah), so look what do you think! 'Y" "O my father! Do that which you are commanded Insha'Allah (if Allah wills), you shall find me of the patient.
Then when they had both submitted themselves to the Will of Allah and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering); and We called out to him: "O Abraham! You have fulfilled the dream (vision)! Verily, thus do We re-ward those who perform good deeds, totally for Allah's Sake only. Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial and We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (a ram); and We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times. "Salam (peace) be upon Abaraham! "Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinun (good doers). Verily, he was of Our believing slaves. (Ch 37:99-111 Qur'an)

Time passed. One day Abraham was sitting outside his tent thinking of his son Ishmael and Allah's Sacrifice. His heart was filled with awe and love for Allah for His countless blessings.
A big tear dropped from eyes and reminded him of Ishmael.

Kaba is Built-by Ibn Abbas-{10)

I seek Refuge with (Allah) from (Satan) the outcas

Ibn Abbas continued: "Once more Abraham thought of visiting his family he had left at Mecca and he told his wife (Sarah) of his decision.
He went and found Ishmael behind the Zam-Zam well, mending his arrows. He said: 'O Ishmael, your Lord has ordered me to build a house for Him.
'Ishmael said: 'Obey the order of your Lord.' Abraham said: 'Allah has also ordered me that you should help me therein. 'Ishmael said: "Then I will do so.' So both of them were saying:

"O our Lord Accept this service of us, verily, You are the All-Hearer, the ALl-Knower. "(Ch 2:127)

When the building became high and the old man (Abraham) could no longer lift the stones to such a high position, he stood over the stone of Al Maqam and Ishmael carried on handing him the stones and both of them were saying:

"O our Lord! Accept this service of us, verily You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.""

Ishmael's Wives-by Ibn Abbas-{9}

I seek Refuge with (Allah) from (Satan) the outcast

Later on her buy reached the age of puberty and married a lady from them. Then an idea occurred to Abraham, which he disclosed to his wife (Sarah). "I want to call on my dependants I left at Mecca.
When he went there he greeted Ishmael's wife and said: 'Where is Ishmael?' She replied: 'He has gone out hunting! Abraham said to her: 'When he comes, tell him to change the threshold of his gate.
When Ishmael came she told him the same and whereupon Ishmael said to her: 'You are the threshold so go to your family (you are divorced)!
Again Abraham thought of visiting his dependants whom he had left at Meccas, and told his wife (Sarah) of his intentions.
Abraham came to Ishmael's house and asked: 'Where is Ishmael?' Ishmael's wife replied: 'He has gone out hunting?' and added: 'Will you stay for some time and have something to eat and drink?' Abraham said: 'What is your drink? She replied: 'Our food is meat and our drink is water.' He replied: 'O Allah: Bless their meals and their drink!
Abu Al Qasim (the Prophet) (pbuh) said: "Because of Abraham's invocation there are blessings in Mecca."

Makkah is Settled-by Ibn Abbas-{8}

Ibn Abbas continued narrating: "Ishmael's mother started drinking from the water, and her milk increased for her child. Afterwards some people of the tribe of Jurhum saw some birds while passing through the bottom of the valley and that astonished them. They said: "Birds can only be found at a place where there is water."
They sent a messenger who searched the place and found the water and returned to inform them about it. They they all went to her and said: "O Ishmael's mother! Will you allow us to be with you (or dwell with you)?" Then they stayed there.

Hajar sees Zam-zam-by Ibn Abbas-{7}

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "This is the source of the tradition of the Sa'y (rituals of the hajj, pilgrimage) the going of people between them (As-Safa and Al-Marwa). When she reached Al-Marwa (for the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened attentively. She heard the voice again and said: "O whoever you maybe! You have made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me?" And behold! She saw an angel at the place of Zam-zam, digging the earth with his hell (or his wing) till water flowed from that place. She started to make something like a basin around it, using her hand in this way, and started filling her water skin with water with her hands and the water was flowing out water she had scooped some of it."
The Prophet (PBUH) added: "May Allah bestow Mercy on Ishmael's mother! Had she left the Zam-zam flow without trying to control it, or had she not scooped from that water to fill her water skin, Zam-zam would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth."

Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them afterwards. He saw Ishmael under a tree near Zam-zam, sharpening his arrows. When he saw Abraham, he rose up to welcome him (and they greeted each other as a father dos with his son or a son does with his father).
Abraham said: 'O Ishmael! Allah has given me an order. 'Ishmael said: 'Do what your Lord has ordered you to do. "Abraham asked: 'Will you help me?' Ishmael said: 'I will help you.' Abraham said: "Allah has ordered me to build a house here; pointing to a hillock higher than the land surrounding it.

"Then they raised the foundations of the House (the Ka'bah). Ishmael brought the stones while Abraham built and when the walls became high Ishmael brought his stone and put it for Abraham who stood over it and carried on building.
While Ishmael was handing him the stones, and both of them were saying:

"Our Lord! Accept this service from us, verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." (Ch 2:127 Qur'an)

The Prophet (PBUH) added: "Then both of them went on building and going round the Ka'ba saying:

"O our Lord! Accept this service from us, Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." (Sahih Bukhari).

The Ka'bah is Built-by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)-{6}

Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wised and called on then again but did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael's wife and asked her about Ishmael. She said: 'he has gone in search of our livelihood.
'Abraham asked her; 'how are you getting on?' asking her about their sustenance and living.
She replied: 'we are prosperous and well off (we have everything in abundance).' then she thanked Allah. Abraham said: 'What kind of food do you eat?' She said: 'meat. 'he said: 'what do you drink?' She said: 'water.' he said: 'O Allah! Bless their meat and water."

The Prophet (PBUH) added: At that time they did not have grain, and if they had grain he would have also invoked Allah to Bless it. If somebody has only these two things as his sustenance, his health and disposition will be badly affected unless he lives in Mecca."

The Prophet (PBUH) continued: "Then Abraham said to Ismael's wife: 'When your husband comes give my regards to him and tell him that he should keep firm the threshold of his gate.' When Ishmael came back he asked his wife, 'did anyone call on you?' She replied: 'Yes, a good looking old man came to me; so she praised him and added: 'He asked about you and I informed him that we were in a good condition. 'Ishmael asked her: 'Did he give you any piece of advice?' She said; 'yes, he told me to give his regards to you and ordered that you should keep firm the threshold of your gate." On that Ishmael said: 'It was my father, and you are the threshold of the gate. He has ordered me to keep you with me!

Ishmael's Wives-{5}

The Prophet (PBUH) continued: "After Ishmael's mother had died, Abraham came after Ishmael's marriage in order to see his family that he had left before but he did not find Ishmael there.
When he asked Ishmael's wife about him, she replied: "He has gone in search of livelihood." Then he asked her about their condition, and she replied, "We are living in misery; we are living hardship and destitution," complaining to him. He said: "When your husband returns convey my salutations to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate (of his house)."
When Ishmael came, he seemed to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife: "Has anyone visited you?" She replied, "Yes, an old man of such and such description came and asked me about our state of living and I told him that we were living in a hardship and poverty."
On that Ishmael said: "Did he advise you anything?" She said: "Yes he told me to convey his salutations to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate. "Ismael said: "It was my father and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family."
So, Ishmael divorced her and married another woman from among them (Jurhum).

Makkah is Settled-Told by Prophet Muhammad-{4}

The Prophet (PBUH) continued: "Then she drank water and suckled her child.
The angel said to her: "Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allah which will be built by this boy and his father, and Allah never neglects His people."
The House (Ka'ba) at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock, and when torrents came, they flowed to its right and left. "She lived in that way till some people from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum passed by her and her child as they (the Jurhum people) were coming through the way of Kada. They landed in the lower part of Mecca where they saw a bird that had the habit of flying around water not leaving it. They said: "This bird must be flying around water, though we know that there is no water in this valley." They sent one of or two messengers who dis-covered the source of water and returned to inform them of the water. Ishmael's mother was sitting near the water.
They asked her: "Do you allow us to stay with you?" She replied: "Yes, but you will have no right to posses the water." They agreed to that. Ishmael's mother was pleased with the whole situation, as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people, so they settled there, and later on they sent for their families who came and settled with them so that some families became permanent residents there. The child (Ishmael) grew up and learned Arabic from them and (his virtues) cause them to love and admire him as he grew up and when he reached the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from amongst them."
