During their old age, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his first wife Sarah (p.b.u.h) had the angels came in the form of humans, to announce two news: a good one and a bad one. The bad one was that Allah (s.w.t) will destroy the people of Prophet Lut (p.b.u.h) and the good one was that that the couple will beget a son, whom they named Prophet Ishaq (p.b.u.h).
He was sent in the sham area (Shaam includes Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Jordan). Allah SWT revealed a total of 113 verses of Surah As-Saffat. In which Allah SWT said, that God gave Ibrahim (AS) the good news of coming to Ishaq (AS). When Ishaq (AS) grew older, Prophet Ibrahim (AS) told Ishaq (AS) to marry someone from his relatives, so Ishaq (AS) married his cousin, Rafqah. She was the daughter of Batwil and both of them had twin sons whom they named, Isa and Prophet Yaqub (AS).
Son of Ishaq (AS) married the Prophet Ismail (AS) daughter, who had a son named Ar-Rum. As per the holy Quran, in Surah Sa'ad (45: verse 7) Allah SWT declared the prophethood of Ishaq (AS).
Prophet Ishaq (p.b.u.h) asked his people to follow the path of Allah (s.w.t) at Kannan. As he grew old, he became blind and settled his son Yaqub (AS) in Hebron, Palestine. At the age of 180 years, Prophet Ishaq (p.b.u.h) died and was buried next to his father, Ibrahim (p.b.u.h). Ishaq (AS) was mentioned at the fifteen places in the holy Quran.
