Hazrat Ishaq, known as Prophet Isaac in other traditions, was the son of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his wife Sarah. His birth was a miracle, as Sarah was barren and both were of advanced age when angels brought the glad tidings of his birth.
Ishaq inherited his father’s prophetic mission, preaching monotheism and guiding his people to righteousness. He married Rebecca and had twin sons, Esau and Jacob, with Jacob continuing the prophetic lineage. Ishaq’s life is a testament to faith and the fulfillment of Allah’s promises.
18. Hazrat Shuaib (Prophet Jethro)
Hazrat Shuaib, also identified in Biblical texts as Jethro, was a prophet dispatched to the inhabitants of Midian, a society entrenched in dishonest trade and idol worship. He conveyed the message of monotheism to them, emphasizing the importance of integrity and fairness in their transactions.
Despite his admonitions, the people of Midian persisted in their unjust practices, ultimately facing divine retribution. The narrative of Hazrat Shuaib serves as a poignant reminder of the repercussions of forsaking truth and equity.
19. Hazrat Nuuh (Prophet Noah)
The story of Hazrat Nuh (also known as Prophet Noah) is a profound tale of faith and obedience. When his people persisted in idolatry and ignored his calls to worship Allah alone, Allah commanded Nuh to build an ark in preparation for a great flood that would cleanse the earth of its corruption.
Despite mockery from his contemporaries, Nuh faithfully constructed the ark under divine guidance. As the flood began, he boarded the ark with those who believed, along with pairs of all creatures. The waters eventually receded, and the ark settled on Mount Judi, marking a new beginning for human life on earth.
This story is celebrated for its lessons on resilience and trust in divine will.
