In Islam, Prophet Ishaq (Isaac) is the son of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his wife Sarah (Sara). He is recognized as a Prophet in Islam and is highly respected by Muslims. According to Islamic tradition, Allah blessed Prophet Ibrahim and Sarah with their son Ishaq in their old age.

Prophet Ishaq is mentioned in the Quran several times, often alongside his father and his brother, Prophet Ismail. He is known for his righteousness and his obedience to Allah. In Islamic tradition, he is also recognized as the father of Prophet Ya'qub (Jacob) who is considered one of the great Prophets of Islam. Like all Prophets in Islam, Prophet Ishaq is considered a role model for Muslims to follow, and his teachings and actions are believed to provide guidance for believers in their daily lives.
