The Holy book Quran Says about Hazrat Ismaeil (AS):
"وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَ‌سُولًا نَّبِيًّا ﴿٥٤﴾ وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَكَانَ عِندَ رَ‌بِّهِ مَرْ‌ضِيًّا ﴿٥٥﴾"[1]
And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet. (54) And he used to enjoin on his people prayer and zakah and was to his Lord pleasing. (55)
Hazrat Isaac (AS)[2], Hazrat Jacob (AS)[3] and other prophets from Hazrat Abraham’s (AS) progeny and prayer:
Hazrat Jacob passed away in Egypt, his children transferred his dead body to Hebron and buried there.
Hazrat Jacob and other names of prophets from Hazrat Abraham’s progeny have come in holy book of Quran. It says:
“"وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ نَافِلَةً وَكُلًّا جَعَلْنَا صَالِحِينَ ﴿٧٢﴾ وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِ‌نَا وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَ‌اتِ وَإِقَامَ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءَ الزَّكَاةِ وَكَانُوا لَنَا عَابِدِينَ ﴿٧٣﴾."[4]
And we gave him Isaac and Jacob in addition, and all [of them] we made righteous. (72) And we made them leaders guiding by our command. And we inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakah; and they were worshipers of us. (73)

And his Wife was standing, and she smiled. Then we gave her good tidings of Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob. (71) She said, "Woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is an amazing thing!" (72) Sura Hood, chapter N.11, verse N. 71- 72
