Ishaq was the second son of Ibrahim by his first-wife Sarah. Islamic tradition holds that he was born nine years after Ishmael who was Ibrahim's son from his second-wife Hagar. He was born after Ibrahim attempted to slaughter Ishmael. Ishaq lived in Canaan and was made a prophet there. He was married at the age of 40. He also had two twin-sons, Israel and Yaqub. As he grew older, he went blind. When he died, he was buried in Hebron along with his parents.
