Idris is recognized as a great-grandson of Prophet Adam AS, tracing his lineage through Prophet Seth AS. In Islamic belief, he was chosen by Allah SWT The Creator of Earth & Heavens to guide his people, who were veering towards polytheism. Gifted with wisdom and righteousness, Prophet Idris AS (Enoch) diligently conveyed the message of monotheism and the worship of the one true God.

One of the striking aspects of Idris’ story in Islam is his remarkable lifespan. According to The Holy Quran (Surah Maryam, 19:57), he lived for 960 years. This extended life span provided him with a unique opportunity to spread his divine teachings across numerous generations. It is said that he used this time to patiently and consistently call his people to the worship of Allah SWT and the abandonment of idolatry.

The Holy Quran also narrates the special honor bestowed upon Prophet Idris AS— his ascension to The sky Heavens (Jannah Paradise). This event sets him apart from many other prophets.
