The Good News of Isaac
وَبَشَّرۡنَٰهُ بِإِسۡحَٰقَ نَبِيࣰّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ ١١٢
And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And We gave him good news of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is good news of Isaac after the forbearing son of the sacrifice story; so the two are different people.
Reflect
Give thanks for the good news Allah has given you.
