72	ENT_ISL_IDRIS	Idris	Islamic	Revealer Figure	prophecy; divine wisdom; heavenly ascent; Enoch-equivalent; Hermetic sciences	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.
