Hazrat Yaqoob (A.S.), also known as Israel, was blessed with twelve sons from his wives. His most famous son was Hazrat Yusuf (A.S.), and another was Binyamin (Benjamin). These twelve sons later became the heads of the Twelve Tribes of Bani Israel, making this number significant in both Islamic and Judeo-Christian traditions.
Hazrat Yaqoob (A.S.) was the son of Hazrat Ishaq (A.S.) and grandson of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S.). His title "Israel" means "Servant of Allah," and his descendants are known as Bani Israel. The Quran narrates the story of Hazrat Yaqoob (A.S.) primarily in Surah Yusuf, where his deep love for his son Yusuf (A.S.) and his patience during years of separation are highlighted as exemplary traits.
