Yaqub ibn Ishaq ibn Ibrahim (Arabic: يَعْقُوب ابْنُ إِسْحَٰق ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيم, literally: "Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham" Arabic: يَعْقُوب, romanized: Yaqub; also later Israil, Arabic: إِسْرَآئِیل [israaeel]; Classical/Quranic Arabic: إِسْرَآءِیْل [israaeel]), also known as Jacob, is a prophet in Islam. He is acknowledged as a patriarch of Islam. Muslims believe that he preached the same monotheistic faith as did his forefathers: Abraham (Ibrahim), Ishmael (Ismail) and Isaac (Ishaq). Jacob is mentioned sixteen times in the Quran. Two further references to Isra'il are believed to be mentions of Jacob. In the majority of these references, Jacob is mentioned alongside fellow Hebrew prophets and patriarchs as an ancient and pious prophet who stayed 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, who would go on to father the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Jacob plays a significant role in the story of his son, Joseph (Yūsuf). The Quran further makes it clear that God made a covenant with Jacob and Jacob was made a faithful leader by God's command. His grandfather (Ibrahim), father (Ishaq), uncle (Ismail), son (Yusuf) and himself are all prophets of Islam.
