This Sirah lesson tells the story of Prophet Ishaq عليه السلام and the remarkable news that came before his birth. Part of the Sirah Stories series, it begins with Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام and his wife Sarah علیہا السلام, who had grown old together without any children.
Three visitors arrive at their home in Canaan. Ibrahim عليه السلام, always generous, welcomes them and brings out roasted meat but the visitors do not eat. He grows worried. Then they speak: they are angels sent by Allah, and they carry news that Sarah علیہا السلام will have a son named Ishaq. She can hardly believe it. She clasps her forehead and gasps, “How can I have a child when I am an old woman?” The angels answer plainly: “Nothing is hard for Allah.” Not long after, Sarah and Ibrahim عليه السلام are blessed with a baby boy. They name him Ishaq, just as Allah instructed. He grows up truthful and kind, and Allah chooses him as a Prophet. He spends his life in Palestine inviting people to worship Allah alone.
