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
