A Qur’an-based profile. Historical dates and later reports are not added without an identified source.
Idris is explicitly described in the Qur’an as truthful and a prophet. The brief passages concerning him emphasize his high station, patience and righteousness rather than a detailed biography.
Life and mission
Surah Maryam mentions Idris among prophetic figures and says that Allah raised him to a high station. Surah Al-Anbiya places him with Ismail and Dhul-Kifl among those who were steadfast and admitted into divine mercy. These passages support a concise profile; they do not provide a childhood narrative, dated travels or a list of inventions.
Family and relationships
The Qur’an does not give Idris’s parents, spouse or children. His identification with Enoch belongs to comparative and later historical traditions and should not be presented as an explicit Qur’anic statement.
Narrative timeline
These stages follow the Qur’anic presentation; they are not a dated historical chronology.
01 — Named as a truthful prophet in Surah Maryam
02 — Raised to a high station
03 — Remembered among the patient and righteous
Signs and miracles
The Qur’an speaks of his elevated station. It does not explain the event in enough detail to construct a precise earthly itinerary or an independently dated timeline.
