According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, Prophet Idris, who is unanimously identified with the biblical figure Enoch, is a revered prophet mentioned in the Quran for his profound truthfulness (siddiq) and patience (sabr). Classical commentators like Ibn Kathir explain that Idris was a pivotal figure in early human history, coming after Prophet Adam and his son Seth. He is praised in the Quran for his righteousness, which culminated in the unique divine honor of being 'raised to a high station' (makānan ʿaliyyan), an event widely interpreted by scholars as his physical ascension into the heavens. Islamic tradition also credits him with pioneering knowledge and skills for humanity, including being the first to write with a pen and the art of tailoring. His name, derived from the Arabic root for 'to study' (darasa), reflects his deep engagement with divine knowledge and his role as a teacher of righteousness to his people.
