Idris (AS), he was a prophet of Allah (SWT) and some of our scholars consider him to be the second prophet after Adam (AS) some consider him the third after Sheeth (AS) and some of our other scholars consider him the first prophet .Allah (SWT) knows the best. And the prophet Mohammed (SAW), he said Idris was a prophet. And he is the first man to ever right with the pen, so writing before Idris did not exist Abdullah ibn Abbas, he describes Idris (AS) he was a man who was tall he was very good looking , he was very calm he had a full grown beard and his spoke very very clearly when he spoke he was calm when he walked he lowered his gaze and looked on the ground and he was very collected individual calm and collected and he is so ponder and reflect very quiet, hardly speaks only if there's a need contemplate a lot he came as a prophet, not to stop people from shirk or to call them to the correct information but rather to help stop and call people away from acts of corruption with the knew were corruption away from their desires we know ,such as Zina . And the act of killing the act of murder act of proudiness ,the act of corruption. To call them away from that and it is said also in our history books that Idris (AS) what's the first to take up arms against another army to fight against injustice to protect the innocent when he saw the corruption spreading especially among the people of qabil and that corruption is even within the people of Idris so idris (As) declared war against the corrupt people ,and he prepared an army of horsemen and people walking fighting against the people of qabil and the corruption of the people of qabil and allah (SWT) gave victory to Idris (As).
Allah (SWT) revealed to idris one day that allah give him the rewards of all the good deeds of mankind every single day they say Idris (AS),he was told by Allah (SWT) that oh idris ,from those who have followed you anyone who does good deeds at the end of the day you will have all the all those good deeds doubled for yourself that is something amazing this is the status imagine others to good deeds and you getting the reward of it so he was very happy and he knew that his death was approaching so he had a friend from angels and he spoke to his friend he says you know Allah has promise me this reward and I would like to amass a a lot of reward before I go so why don't we speak to the angel of death let's see what he has to say to say look just try and see if you can see permission to prolong a little bit so idris Said I wanna live longer, the Angel carried on his wings and went up into the heavens the skies when it was the 4th heaven they met The angel of death and the Angel spoke to him, and the angel of deaths and but where is idris? He replied he is upon my back the angel of deaths said how astonishing ,I was sent and told to cease his soul in the fourth heaven I kept thinking how I could cease it in the fourth heaven when he was on earth then he took his soul his soul was taken away whilst he was still in the fourth heaven and the Messenger of Allah (SWT) confirms in Sahih Al bukhari in an authentic narration that when he went up for miraaj (the night journey) he met Idris (AS) in the fourth heaven that is as much as we know about the life of Idris (AS) and this is why some of the muffasireen say, when Allah says he raised him to a high level he is speaking of literally Allah took him up physically to the top and then he soul was taken there, idris (AS) died and time passed after the death of Idris corruption started to increase even more after thousand years minimum or 7000 of years generations it took iblis that long to finally influence the children of Adam to commit their first act of shirk.
