Deep dives

The Name Yakub

Yakub, also known as Yaqub, derived from the word active, signifies a profound meaning. He was born as a twin to his brother El Eis, being the second twin, implying a connection to following his brother. While some interpretations suggest trickery in acquiring profithood, it contradicts the Islamic perspective as prophets wouldn't resort to trickery. His name also conveys glad tidings, reflecting the blessings bestowed upon his lineage by Allah, marking a significant lineage of noble prophets.
