Dream - Nabi Yakub is believed to be the ancestor of the Bani Israil who has 12 sons. One of his beloved sons is Yusuf, who also becomes a messenger of Allah SWT. When Nabi Yusuf became a high official in the land of Egypt, he asked his father and brothers to move to Egypt. Nabi Yakub lived in Egypt for seven years until he passed away at the age of 147. Before his passing, Nabi Yakub instructed to be buried in Hebron, Palestine.

Ibnu Katsir, who quoted from Ibnu Ishaq, who sourced from the People of the Book, mentioned that Prophet Yakub lived in Egypt for seven years, and then passed away. Prophet Yakub left a will to Prophet Yusuf to have his body buried alongside his father and grandfather, Prophet Ishaq and Prophet Ibrahim, in Hebron, Palestine.

Then Prophet Yusuf carried out his father's will, which requested to be buried in Hebron. He wrapped Prophet Yakub's body and brought it to the Land of Sham to be buried in a cave near his father's grave, Prophet Ishaq, and his grandfather, Prophet Ibrahim.

"Expert Version Description"

"While the version of the Ahli Kitab states that Prophet Yakub was 30 years old when he entered Egypt, this version also states that Prophet Yakub lived for 17 years in Egypt with Yusuf. However, there is an anomaly because the Ahli Kitab states, 'This means Yakub's age is 140 years.' According to Ibnu Katsir, this is the explanation given in the holy book of the Ahli Kitab. 'This is incorrect, possibly a writing error, or purely their mistake, or other factors. This is their habit,' said Ibnu Katsir."

However, both in the Quran and the Bible, the testament of Prophet Jacob before his death is mentioned. In Surah Al-Baqarah verse 133, it is mentioned how Prophet Jacob asked his children, "Were you witnesses when death approached Jacob, and he said to his sons, 'What will you worship after me?' They said, 'We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac - one God. And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.'"

"Meaning:"
"\u201cWere you present when Jacob faced death and said to his sons: \u201cWhat will you worship after me?\u201d They replied: \u201cWe will worship your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers, Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac, the One God, and we submit to Him alone.\u201d"

"(Quran Surat Al-Baqarah verse 133)"

"Will to Worship Allah"

Then in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 135, it is mentioned the will of Prophet Yakub to his children to follow the straight religion of Prophet Ibrahim. "وَقَالُوا كُوْنُوا هُودًا أَوْ نَصَارَىٰ تَهْتَدُوْا ۗ قُلْ بَلْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ۗ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ" They said, 'Be Jews or Christians, then you will be guided.' Say, 'No, rather we follow the religion of Ibrahim, the upright, and he was not of the polytheists.'"

"Denying the Will"

However, the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) broke their promise to Prophet Jacob. One by one, the children of Prophet Jacob denied the teachings of Prophet Abraham. Then they announced the events they would experience. They also delivered good news to Judah that among his descendants, a great prophet who would be obeyed by all nations would emerge, namely Jesus, the son of Mary.

In the Bible it is mentioned, the children of Prophet Jacob in the future, like the descendants of Judah will inherit the staff of the kingdom. Meanwhile, the descendants of Zebulun will dwell by the sea and become a naval force. While the descendants of Asher will have abundant luxurious food and will provide delicious feasts for the kings. Then the descendants of Naphtali will be blessed with beautiful children.

In the Bible, it is mentioned that the people of Egypt mourned the departure of Prophet Jacob for 70 days. The physicians were ordered by Joseph to apply fragrance to his father's entire body. The body of Prophet Jacob was laid to rest while being perfumed for 40 days.

"After that, Yusuf asked for permission from the King of Egypt to bury his father's body in Hebron, Palestine. The entourage of Prophet Yusuf, carrying his father's body, arrived in Hebron. Then they buried the body of his father in a cave that had been bought by Ibrahim Al-Khalil from Afran bin Shakr Al-Haitsi. They held a mourning ceremony there for seven days."

"Nabi Yusuf Juga Dimakamkan di Dekat Leluhurnya" translates to "Prophet Yusuf was also buried near his ancestors."

Shortly before his death, Prophet Yusuf also instructed that his body be buried with his ancestors in Palestine. Then, Prophet Yusuf's body was embalmed and preserved in a coffin. Prophet Yusuf's body remained in Egypt until Prophet Musa later brought it to the burial site of his ancestors. It is mentioned in the Bible that Prophet Yusuf died at the age of 120.

That is the story of the will of Prophet Yakub to his children that is important for Muslims to know. It is clear that the previous prophets firmly held onto the teachings of monotheism and asked their children to continue their teachings. However, many of them denied and deviated from the path of truth.
