The Story of the Prophet Idris (pbuh)
Idris (pbuh) was the recipient of a number of revelations from Allah. Idris (pbuh) is credited with learning many useful skills or inventing things which humans still use such as writing, mathematics, astronomy, etc.
It is known that despite his knowledge and piety, the people of his time ignored Idris (pbuh) teachings. They had forgotten about Allah. The world was thus punished with a prolonged drought. When they repented, Idris (pbuh) prayed for their forgiveness and the Lord sent down rain to quench the land and fill the rivers.
Idris (pbuh) often observed Saum and spent much of his time in prayer. Even the angels we're overwhelmed by his worship. It is said that he was taken away alive by Allah. When Idris (pbuh) left earth, he left a large group of family and friends behind. Allah chose great leaders and Prophets from them. May peace be upon Idris.
