قَدْ مَدَحَ اللهُ إِدْرِيسَ، فَوَصَفَهُ بِأَنَّهُ كَانَ نَبِيًّا وَصِدِّيقًا.

Allah has praised Enoch, describing him as being a prophet and truthful:

﴿وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِدْرِيسَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيًّا * وَرَفَعْنَاهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا﴾ (سورۃ مريم: 56-57)

"Mention in the Book (Quran) Idris (Enoch). Verily! He was a man of truth (and) a prophet. We raised him to a high station". (Ch 19:56-57 Quran).

وُلِدَ أخنوخ ونشأ في بابل، متبعًا تعاليم دين آدم عليه السلام وابنه شيث عليه السلام. وكان أخنوخ من الجيل الخامس من آدم عليه السلام. فدعا الناس للعودة إلى دين آبائه، فلم يستجب له إلا قليل منهم، وأعرض أكثرهم.

Enoch was born and raised in Babylon following the teachings and religion of Prophet Adam (pbuh) and his son Seth (pbuh). Enoch was the 5th generation of the Prophet Adam. He called the people back to his forefathers religion, but only a few listened to him, while the majority turned away.

غادر النبي أخنوخ وأتباعه بابل متوجهين إلى مصر. وهناك واصل دعوته، يدعو الناس إلى ما هو عدل وإنصاف، ويعلمهم صلوات معينة، ويأمرهم بالصيام في أيام محددة، وبأن يخرجوا جزءاً من أموالهم للفقراء.

Prophet Enoch and his followers left Babylon for Egypt. There he carried on his mission, calling people to what is just and fair, teaching them certain prayers and instructing them to fast on certain days and to give a portion of their wealth to the poor.

كان أولَ بني آدم نُبِّئَ بعد آدم وشيث عليهما السلام. وقد رُوِي أنه أول من اخترع الصورة الأساسية للكتابة. ومن حِكَمه:

He was the first of the Children of Adam to be given prophethood after Adam and Seth (peace upon them). It is reported that he was the 1st to invent the basic form of writing. Some of his wise sayings are:

"طُوبَى لِمَنْ نَظَرَ فِي عَمَلِهِ فَجَعَلَهُ شُفَعَاءَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ." "لَا أَحَدَ أَشْكَرُ لِنِعَمِ اللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الَّذِي يُشَارِكُ غَيْرَهُ فِيهَا." "لَا تَحْسُدُوا النَّاسَ عَلَى مَا آتَاهُمْ، فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِهِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا." "مَنْ أَفْرَطَ فِي الْإِسْرَافِ لَمْ يَنْتَفِعْ بِهِ." "إِنَّ حَقِيقَةَ سَعَادَةِ الْحَيَاةِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ الْحِكْمَةُ."

"Happy is he who looks at his own deeds and appoints them as pleaders to his Lord." "None can show better gratitude for Allah's favors than he who shares them with others." "Do not envy people for what they have as they will only enjoy it for a short while." "He who indulges in excess will not benefit from it." "The real joy of life is to have wisdom."
