Islamic View Of Isaac
Isaac (Arabic: إسحاق or إسحٰق ʾIsḥāq) is recognized as a patriarch, prophet and messenger of God by all Muslims. As in Judaism, Islam maintains that Isaac was the son of the prophet Abraham, from his wife Sarah. Muslims regard Isaac as highly important because they believe that it was Isaac and his older half-brother Ishmael who continued their father's legacy and preached the message of God after the death of Abraham.

“‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there’s a God, that there’s a Saviour too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.

Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.”
