Prophet Idrees A.S (Prophet Enoch A.S)

Islamic literature narrates that Idris was made prophet at around forty, which parallels the age when Muhammad began to prophesy, and lived during a time when people had begun to worship fire. Exegesis embellishes upon the lifetime of Idris, and states that the prophet divided his time into two. For three days of the week, Idris would preach to his people and four days he would devote solely to the worship of God. Many early commentators, such as Tabari,credited Idris with possessing great wisdom and knowledge. Exegesis narrates that Idris was among the first men to use the pen as well as being one of the first men to observe the movement of the stars and set out scientific weights and measures. These attributes remain consistent with the identification of Enoch with Idris as these attributes make it clear that Idris would have most probably lived during the Generations of Adam, the same era during which Enoch lived. Ibn Arabi described Idris as the "prophet of the philosophers" and a number of works were attributed to him.Some scholars wrote commentaries on these supposed works, all while Idris was also credited with plenty of inventions and the art of making garments
