Which prophet is known as Peer-e-Kanaan according to Islamic tradition?

Explanation

The title "Peer-e-Kanaan" means "the Elder/Patriarch of Canaan." Prophet Yaqub (A.S), also known as Israel, spent a significant part of his life in the land of Canaan (Palestine), where he raised his twelve sons who became the progenitors of the twelve tribes of Bani Israel. This title reflects his status as the revered patriarch of that blessed land.

Good to know

Prophet Yaqub (A.S) was the son of Prophet Ishaq (A.S) and the grandson of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S). His title "Israel" means "servant of Allah," and his descendants are known as Bani Israel. His most beloved son, Prophet Yusuf (A.S), was thrown into a well by his jealous brothers, which led to the famous story of separation and reunion. The land of Canaan, where Yaqub (A.S) lived, is roughly present-day Palestine.
