| ENT_ISL_IDRIS | Idris | Islamic | Prophet/revealer | Revealer Figure | prophecy; divine wisdom; heavenly ascent; Enoch-equivalent; Hermetic sciences | PER_ISL_EARLY | A | Primary Quranic attestation: 19:56-57 ("We raised him to a high station"), 21:85; Islamic commentary identifies him with Enoch; Islamic-Hermetic tradition identifies him with Hermes Trismegistus | Quranic prophet mentioned in 19:56-57 and 21:85; Islamic exegetical tradition (Ibn Abbas, Ibn Ishaq) universally identifies Idris with the biblical Enoch (antediluvian patriarch, "walked with God", taken to heaven alive). In Islamic-Hermetic philosophical tradition (9th–12th c. CE), Idris is further identified with Hermes Trismegistus as the primordial prophet of wisdom, writing, and the sciences. He is thus the Islamic nodal figure where the Enoch tradition, the Hermetic tradition, and Quranic prophetology converge. | prophet | |||||||

Born of a virgin birth (Quran 19:20-22), confirmed by miracles including healing the blind and lepers and raising the dead (Quran 3:49), and given the Injīl (Gospel). Explicitly not divine in Islamic theology: "He was only a messenger of Allah" (Quran 4:171). One of the five Ulu al-Azm (Prophets of Firm Resolve) along with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Muhammad. Islamic eschatology holds that ʿĪsā will return before the Day of Judgment to defeat the Dajjal (Quran 43:61; Hadith tradition). The Quranic ʿĪsā is the Islamic reception of the Jesus tradition (ENT_JESUS_CHRIST); the two figures share the virgin birth and healing miracles but diverge sharply on christology. | prophet | ||||||

| ENT_THL_AIWASS | Aiwass | Thelemic | Revealer | Revealer Figure | revelation; hidden knowledge; holy guardian angel; cosmic law; dictation | thelema; aiwass; crowley; 20th-century; book of the law; holy guardian angel; revealer; no ancient antecedent | A | reviewed | Crowley, Liber AL vel Legis I:7 (1904/1909); Hanegraaff (ed.), Dictionary of Gnosis and Western Esotericism (2006) | The intelligence who dictated The Book of the Law to Aleister Crowley in Cairo, April 8-10, 1904. Self-identified as "the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat" (Liber AL I:7). Crowley later came to identify Aiwass as his own Holy Guardian Angel — the higher self or personal genius of the magician, a concept inherited from the Book of Abramelin the Mage (via the Golden Dawn). Hutton (The Triumph of the Moon, 1999) notes the Golden Dawn's Holy Guardian Angel concept is rooted in the Abramelin tradition; Blavatsky's Mahatmas are a parallel hidden-master archetype that influenced Crowley's milieu. No ancient antecedent; a documented 20th-century Thelemic revealer figure, structurally parallel to other revelation-transmitters (Jibril/Muhammad, Moroni/Smith) but with no claimed historical continuity. | prophet | ||||||
