Islamic View Of Jacob

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Jacob (Arabic: يعقوب, Yaʿqub), or Israel (Arabic: اسراييل, Israʾil), is a prophet in Islam who is mentioned in the Qur\'an. He is acknowledged as a patriarch of Islam. Muslims believe that he preached the same monotheistic faith as his forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael. Jacob is mentioned 16 times in the Qur\'an. In the majority of these references, Jacob is mentioned alongside fellow Hebrew prophets and patriarchs as an ancient and pious prophet who remained in the "company of the elect".Muslims hold that Jacob was the son of Isaac and that he preached the Oneness of God throughout his life. As in Christianity and Judaism, Islam holds that Jacob had twelve sons, each of which would go on to father the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Jacob plays a significant role in the story of his son, Joseph, and is referenced around twenty-five times throughout the narrative. The Qur\'an further makes it clear that God made a covenant with Jacob and Jacob was made a faithful leader by God\'s command.
