Allah Granting Ibrahimؑ Offspring After Migration:
When he chose migration for the sake of Allah, bidding farewell to his home and family, Allah granted him offspring as a substitute. In any case, they were better than the relatives he had left behind, so that the loneliness of exile would be removed and he would find comfort and tranquility. And such offspring, all of whom were prophets: Sayyiduna Ishaq was a prophet, then his son Yaqub was also a prophet, and from their descendants—that is, among the Children of Israel—hundreds of prophets were born.
