Idris (Peace be Upon Him)

Idris was a Prophet of Allah who preached the message of monotheism and the importance of seeking knowledge and understanding to his people. He was elevated to a high rank by Allah and was taken up to Heaven alive.

Idris is believed to have been a righteous man who was elevated to a high rank by Allah. He preached the message of monotheism to his people, but they did not listen to him. Some scholars believe that he was the first to write with a pen and the first to teach astronomy and other sciences to his people. According to Islamic tradition, he did not die, but was taken up to Heaven alive (Quran: Surah Maryam 19:56-57, Surah Al-Anbiya' 21:85-86).
