The Holy Quran 19:54 — Surah Maryam

Arabic text

وَٱذْكُرْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ إِسْمَـٰعِيلَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ صَادِقَ ٱلْوَعْدِ وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا

Translation

Mention Ismaa'eel in the scripture (the Qur'aan). Verily he was true to his promise and he was a Rasool, a Nabi. (This denotes the superiority of Ismaa'eel over Is'haaq, who was only a Nabi and not a Rasool.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Praise of Isma'il ﵇ and his superiority over Ishaq ﵇: this shows the superiority of Isma'il ﵇ over Ishaq ﵇, since the latter was called only a “prophet”, whereas Isma'il ﵇ has been called “a messenger and a prophet”.
