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
