Which Prophet is referred to as the Ancestor of many Prophets, also known as Jadd-ul-Anbiya?

Explanation

Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) is called Jadd-ul-Anbiya (Grandfather of Prophets) because a long line of Prophets descended from him. His son Hazrat Ishaq (A.S) was the ancestor of the Israelite Prophets including Musa, Dawood, Sulaiman, and Isa (A.S), while his son Hazrat Ismail (A.S) was the ancestor of the final Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). This unique position makes him the common ancestor of the majority of Prophets mentioned in the Quran.

Good to know

Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) holds the distinguished title of Khalilullah (Friend of Allah) and is also referred to as Abul Anbiya (Father of Prophets). He is one of the five Ulul Azm (Messengers of strong resolve) and his life is commemorated in the rituals of Hajj. The Quran mentions him as a model of faith and submission, and he is recognized as a central figure in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism alike.
