00:14Asalaamu Alaikum
00:16Wa Alaikum Salaam
00:18It's story time again
00:20So excited huh?
00:22Yes Baba!
00:24I really want to hear the story of Prophet Ishhaq today
00:28Not much is known about Prophet Ishhaq
00:32So I will tell you all the known facts about this Prophet
00:36And I will also tell you the story of Prophet Yaqub
00:40Who was his son
00:42Huh? Are you going to tell me the story of two Prophets today?
00:48Alright, alright, now sit down and listen carefully
00:52Bismillah
00:58The story of Prophet Ishhaq
01:00and Yaqub
01:06The Prophet Ibrahim grew old
01:10and so did his wife Sara
01:12One day when he was sitting outside his house
01:16he saw three men coming towards his house
01:20The three men were actually angels sent by Allah
01:24The Prophet welcomed them inside to have food
01:32The strangers went in and sat down for food
01:36Prophet served them a roasted calf
01:40But the strangers did not touch the food at all
01:43The Prophet started to fear
01:46Then the angels comforted the Prophet and asked him not to fear at all
01:52They told him that they were actually the angels sent by Allah
01:58They informed him that they came to his house to deliver a good news
02:04They said that Allah was going to give them a son
02:10and that he should name him Ishaq
02:14They also told him that his son would be a Prophet
02:18Sara could not believe her ears
02:22How could that be true? She wondered
02:24I am so old
02:26Then the angels said that all things are possible with Allah
02:30After a few months, Sara got pregnant and gave birth to a child
02:37The Prophet named him Ishaq as the angels told him
02:41Ishaq grew up as an obedient boy
02:44He worked hard and like the angels foretold
02:47He too became a prophet of Allah
02:51Ibrahim was very old by the time Ishaq grew up
02:56As he felt that his life was nearing its end
02:59He wished to see his son get married
03:02But he did not want Ishaq to marry one of the Canaanites
03:06as they were all disbelievers
03:11One day, he sent one of his trustworthy servants to Haran
03:15to choose a bride of Ishaq
03:19The servant obeyed his master and travelled for many days to reach Haran
03:28Once he reached Haran, the servant selected Rebekah
03:32the daughter of Ibn Nahor
03:34who was the brother of Prophet Ibrahim
03:39As his father wished, Ishaq married Rebekah
03:46Rebekah didn't give birth to a child for a long time
03:50Ishaq kept praying to Allah for a child
03:55And after many years, she gave birth to twins
03:59Ishaq named them Esau and Yaqub
04:02Ishaq grew up to be a strong man
04:05and he was a good hunter
04:10But Yaqub was more intelligent
04:12and he was his father's favorite
04:18There were frequent fights between the brothers
04:21As Esau disliked the fact that his father favored Yaqub more than him
04:28Esau became more and more jealous as they grew
04:32Ashaq
04:35Ishaq grew old
04:37and he could not see clearly
04:39One day, he asked Esau to go hunting
04:42and bring him some cooked meat
04:45Rebekah, his wife, overheard the conversation
04:48and she ran to her son Yaqub
04:50and she ran to her son Yaqub
04:53Esau agreed and went hunting for the meat
04:56Slaughter two goats of your best flock
04:59she said to him
05:01and cook them as you know your father will like
05:05Go and do this before your brother returns
05:08Yaqub did as his mother had ordered
05:12Rebekah then asked him to put on his brother's clothes
05:16and then she covered his hands and neck with goat skin
05:20This was to make his skin feel like a sow who was very hairy
05:25Then Yaqub stepped into his father's room
05:29Who are you? asked Eshaq
05:32I am your son
05:34replied Yaqub in a deep voice
05:37His father then started eating the food
05:40Once he finished his food
05:42he blessed Yaqub to be the better brother
05:45and to be the leader of his people
05:47Once he got the blessings, he left the room
05:51Esau returned with the meat after some time
05:54and he entered his father's room
05:57What is this my son?
05:58The prophet asked when he heard Esau's footsteps
06:02I've brought you the meat you like
06:05Eshaq was now confused
06:08Didn't you bring me the food an hour ago?
06:10He asked him
06:12I also gave you my blessings
06:14No, I swear I did not
06:16Esau said
06:18He then knew that he had been cheated by Yaqub
06:22He felt so angry that he wanted to kill Yaqub right away
06:27Rebekah saw what had happened
06:30So she went to Yaqub and ordered him to go to her brother Laban
06:34in the land of Haran
06:36She asked him to stay there until his brother was not angry at him anymore
06:44Yaqub left his family and started his journey towards Haran
06:48He travelled for many days in the desert
06:52One evening, he got very tired of walking and decided to get some rest
06:58He took a stone and put it under his head and slept
07:02That was when he had an amazing dream
07:07In his dream, he saw a ladder from heaven to earth
07:11He saw that the angels were coming down and going up the ladder
07:16It was then that Allah blessed Yaqub and this piece of land for his future generations
07:26When he woke up, he exploded with joy
07:31He took a vow that if he returned to his family safely
07:35He would build a mosque here for Allah
07:38He also vowed to give one tenth of his property to Allah
07:45He poured oil on that stone so that he would be able to recognize this place later
07:51This place is today known by the name of Jerusalem
07:57The next morning, Yaqub set out for Haran
08:04After many days of traveling, he finally reached Haran
08:09Yaqub then met his maternal uncle Laban
08:13His uncle was very happy to see him and invited him to his house
08:20Laban had two daughters, Leah and Rachel
08:25The Prophet started working hard for Laban
08:29During his stay, he fell in love with his uncle's younger daughter Rachel
08:35After a few months, he asked Laban to marry Rachel
08:39Work for me for seven years, he said
08:43And I will let you marry my daughter
08:46The Prophet agreed to his terms
08:53Yaqub worked hard
08:58And Laban prospered
09:01After the end of the seventh year
09:03His uncle prepared a feast and gathered people for the wedding
09:07But his uncle tricked him
09:11And he got his elder daughter Leah
09:14Married to Yaqub
09:16Leah was weak sighted and ugly
09:19Yaqub did not know about this
09:24And he discovered the truth only in the morning
09:28When he realized that he had been tricked
09:30He went to his uncle
09:32You deceived me, he said to Laban
09:34I was engaged to Rachel
09:37And you married me to Leah?
09:39His uncle said
09:41It is not our tradition to marry the younger daughter
09:45Before the elder one
09:47However, he added
09:49If you love Rachel, work for another seven years
09:53And I will let you marry her
09:55Yaqub worked hard for another seven years
09:58And then married Rachel
10:01It was acceptable in their time
10:04As described in Torah
10:06For a man to marry two sisters
10:08Laban gave a female slave to each daughter
10:11Leah's slave was called Zilpah
10:14And Rachel's slave was called Bilha
10:17What happened then?
10:19I will tell you the remaining story tomorrow
10:23Oh no, please tell me now Baba
10:26Please, please
10:28Come on, it's time for you to go to sleep
10:31I will ask you a few questions now
10:33And I will tell you the rest of the story tomorrow
10:36Alright Baba
10:38Are you ready for the question?
10:40Yes
10:41Yes
10:43Why did the three angels come to the house of Prophet Ibrahim ?
10:48They came to deliver the news that they were going to have a son
10:52Mashallah, that's the correct answer

11:00I know that
11:02It was Rebecca

11:11It was Esau
11:13And...and...Yakub
11:15That's right again
11:17Now tell me why Esau hated Yaqub ?
11:21Hmm...Esau hated him because he was his father's favorite son
11:26And also that God chose him as the next Prophet
11:30That's correct
11:33What was the name of Yaqub's uncle in Haran ?
11:37Hmm...Wasn't it Laban ?
11:39Laban ?
11:41That's correct again
11:43How long did Yaqub work for Laban ?
11:46First he worked for 7 years and then he worked for another 7 years
11:52It's 14
11:54The Prophet worked for 14 years for Laban
11:57What were the names of the daughters of Laban ?
12:00They were Leah and Rachel
12:06Mashallah, you gave all the right answers
