He Is Described In The QurAn As Trustworthy And Patient And The QurAn Also Says That He Was Exalted To A High Station, Because Of This And Other Parallels, Traditionally Idris Has Been Identified With The Biblical Enoch, And Islamic Tradition Usually Places Idris In The Early Generations Of Adam, And Considers Him One Of The Oldest Prophets Mentioned In The QurAn, Placing Him Between Adam And Noah. Idris Unique Status Inspired Many Future Traditions And Stories Surrounding Him In Islamic Lore. According To Hadith, Narrated By Malik Ibn Anas And Found In Sahih Muslim, It Is Said That On MuhammadS Night Journey, He Encountered Idris In The Fourth Heaven.

IdrisS Father Was Yarid And His Mother Was Barkanah. IdrisS Wife Was A Woman Named Aadanah. Idris Also Had A Son Whose Name Was Methuselah; Who Would Eventually Be The Grandfather Of Prophet Nuh (Noah). This Means That Idris Was The Great-Grandfather Of Noah.
