Then where are your three messengers?” asked the Prophet Ya'qub?
Inheriting me and inheriting the Children of Ya'qub; and make him, my Lord, acceptable!
And remember Our servants, Ibrahim and Ishaq and Ya'qub, men of strength and insight.
And remember thou Our bond men, Ibrahim and Is-haq and Ya'qub. owners of might ana insight.
In 870, Ya'qub ibn al-Layth al-Saffar rebelled against Abbasid rule
and founded the Saffarid dynasty at Sistan.
He[Ya'qub] said,"Did I not say to you before, I know things from Allah you do
not know?"?
And his wife was standing. she laughed. Then We gave her the glad tidings of Is'haq,
and after Is'haq, Ya'qub.
Later, in the 9th century, during the reign of Ya'qub bin Laith as-Saffar,
Islam became firmly rooted in the local population.
When he had separated himself from them, and what they worshipped besides Allah,
We gave him Ishaq and Ya'qub, making each of them a Prophet.
When he had turned away from them and from those whom they worshipped besides Allah,
We bestowed on him Ishaq and Ya'qub, and each one of them We made a prophet.
And We bestowed upon him Is-haq and Ya'qub: each one We guided.
And Nuh We had guided afore, and of his progeny Da-ud and Sulaiman and Ayyub and Yusuf and Musa and Harun. And thus We recompense the well-doers.
And I have followed the creed of my fathers,
Ibrahim and Is'haq and Ya'qub: it is not for us to associate aught with Allah.
That is of Allah's and upon mankind; but grace upon us most of mankind thank not.
Or were you witnesses when death approached Ya'qub(Jacob)? When he said unto his sons,"What will
you worship after me?" They said,"We shall worship your Ilah(God- Allah), the Ilah(God) of your fathers, Ibrahim(Abraham), Isma'il(Ishmael), Ishaque(Isaac), One Ilah(God), and to Him we submit in Islam.
Verily We have revealed unto thee even as We revealed unto Nuh and the prophets after him,
and as We revealed unto Ibrahim and Isma'il and Is-haq and Ya'qub and the tribes, and' Isa and Ayyub and Yunus and Harun and Sulaiman,
and unto Daud We vouchsafed a Scripture.
Or say ye that Ibrahim and Ismai'l and Ishaq and Ya'qub, and the tribes were Jews or Nazarenes?
Say thou: are ye the more knowing or is Allah? And who is more unjust than he who hideth a testimony that is with him from Allah? And Allah is not neglectful of that which ye Work.
