Idris إدريس
عليه السلام
Idris عليه السلام is described in the Qur’an as truthful and a prophet, and Allah raised him to a high station. Revelation gives only a small amount of biographical detail, so responsible study stops where the evidence stops. His brief account teaches that truthfulness and steady worship can give a servant an honoured rank.
