Israel - (Yisra-el) translates as "striving for Allah".

The word "Israel" is the name of the man. Jacob's new name, given to him by Allah. The name Israel was passed on to all of Jacob's descendants. It is a kind of family name. All of Jacob's descendants became known as Israel. In fact, it is the story of one family. What, then, does the word "Jew" mean? When Abraham, at Allah's command, crossed the river and went to the land what Allah had indicated, he was called Hebrew (Genesis 14:13), because in Hebrew "Hebrew" means to cross. He became the one who crossed over. Hence the concept of "JEWS" - nomads or migrants. The ancient Jewish people descended from Abraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob. These three men are considered the patriarchs of the nation. Allah says many times in the Tanakh that He is the Allah of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob-Israel had twelve sons: Reuven, Shimon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Gad, Naphtali (Naphtali), Asher (Assir), Joseph, and Binyamin. They all became the ancestors of the 12 tribes, the tribes of Israel. The family settled in the land of Canaan, located between the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River (1451 BC). In the Tanakh, inheritance is in the male line. The father, the owner of the land, bequeaths it only to his male descendants. So too, the Promised Land passes from father to sons. The Promised Land is called "The Land of Israel" because it belongs to Israel, and his sons are called Israelites, denoting the connection to their father's land. In the Tanakh this nation is called either the "Sons of Israel" or the "Sons of Jacob." As time passed, Jacob's twelve sons married, had children, and, together with Jacob's father Israel, numbered seventy souls (not counting their wives), ended up in Egypt. They remained in Egypt for about two hundred and ten years. There they became slaves; and when their cry reached God, God, using Moses, brought them out of Egypt.
