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.

Receives the Torah (Tawrat) from God; leads the Israelites from Egypt; speaks directly with God at the burning bush (Quran 20:9-48; 28:29-35). The Islamic Musa is the Quranic reception of the Hebrew Bible Moses (ENT_ISR_MOSES), substantially paralleling the Exodus narrative while incorporating Quranic theological reframing. One of the five Ulu al-Azm (Prophets of Firm Resolve).
79	79	ENT_ISL_ISA	ʿĪsā ibn Maryam	Islamic	Holy Figure	prophecy; healing; revelation; eschatology	ʿĪsā ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary); Quranic prophet and messenger of God.

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.

87	87	ENT_SUF_HASAN_BASRI	Hasan al-Basri	Islamic/Sufi	Holy figure		Basran preacher and ascetic (d. 728), foundational figure of Islamic zuhd (asceticism); emphasised self-examination (muhasaba), fear of God (khawf), and constant remembrance.

92	92	ENT_ISR_MOSES	Moses	Israelite	Revealer Figure	prophecy; lawgiver; Torah; Sinai; Exodus; divine face; burning bush	Paradigm Israelite prophet and lawgiver; Exodus 2 – Deuteronomy 34; leads the Exodus from Egypt; receives the Torah at Sinai (Exodus 19-20; 24:12-18; 34); mediates the covenant between Yahweh and Israel; the only figure in the Hebrew Bible described as knowing God "face to face" (Deuteronomy 34:10; cf. Exodus 33:11); his death on Mount Nebo before entering Canaan (Deuteronomy 34:1-8) and the detail that no one knows his burial place are early markers of his exceptional status; Numbers 12:6-8 establishes his prophetic superiority over all other prophets ("mouth to mouth I speak with him"); central to Judaism as Moshe Rabbenu (Moses our Teacher) and the paradigm lawgiver; appears with Elijah at the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:3); most frequently named prophet in the Quran (136 mentions as Musa), where he is the paradigm of prophetic confrontation with tyrant power (the Pharaoh/Fir'awn narrative); also central to Mandaean religion

97	97	ENT_ISR_SHEMIHAZAH	Shemihazah	Israelite/Second Temple	Fallen Angel	watchers; descent; oath; forbidden knowledge	Shemihazah (also Semyaza, Samjaza; "My name has seen" or "Name of God sees") is the leader of the 200 Watchers (angelic beings) who, according to 1 Enoch 6-10, descended from heaven to the summit of Mount Hermon and took human wives. In 1 Enoch 6:3, Shemihazah is named as the ringleader: "And Shemihazah, their chief, said to them: 'I fear you will not agree to do this deed, and only I will have to pay for this great sin.'" Despite his hesitation, all 200 Watchers swear an oath and descend together. He is listed first among the 20 Watcher leaders named in 1 Enoch 6:7: "Shemihazah, Arteqoph, Rametel, Kokabel, Ramel, Danel, Zeqiel, Baraqel, Asael, Hermoni, Matureq, Ananel, Sataoel, Shamshiel, Sahriel, Tummiel, Turiel, Yomioel, Sariel." Shemihazah's specific teaching is enchantments/spell-casting (1 Enoch 7:1), while the second-most prominent Watcher, Azazel, teaches metalwork and cosmetics. In 1 Enoch 10:11-12, Michael is commanded by God to bind Shemihazah for 70 generations: "Go, Michael, bind Shemihazah and his company who have intermixed with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness." He is to be bound under the hills of the earth until the Day of Judgment. Shemihazah has a parallel in the Ugaritic tradition (some scholars connect his name to Canaanite divine names), and his figure is preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls' Book of Giants (4Q531), which elaborates the Watcher narrative with additional Aramaic material. He is distinct from his Jubilees counterpart, where the leader of the Watchers is called "Mastema" in a more developed demonological schema. Nickelsburg (2001) pp. 175-205.
