Some Islamic traditions denote that when the people of Paradise settle in Paradise, there comes a call saying: "Do you want anything else?" They will say: "Our Lord, we wish Your pleasure!' (The commentary of 'Atyab-ul-Bayan) 1- Sura 'Al-i-'Imran, No.

Then, in the second verse, Allah, referring to Idris' high rank, says: " And We raised him to a lofty station." The purpose of the Qur'anic phrase: 'a lofty station' is either a high spiritual rank, or the process of ascent to the heavens, because Allah took four prophets to the heavens: Idris, Jesus, Khidr, and Elias (Elija).

(The Commentary of Atyab-ul-Bayan) However, the Qur'anic arrangement of the words 'a truthful one, a prophet' in the verse, where the term 'a truthful one' has been preceeded to 'a prophet', denotes that 'truthfulness' is a sign of 'prophethood'.

He was named Idris, in Arabic, for the reason that he had been very busy with study,(1) or for the sake that he had been the first person who wrote with pen.(2) His holy appellation, Idris, has been mentioned in the Qur'an twice, and he has been glorified by the qualities of: /siddiq/ (truthful), /sabir/ (patient), and /nabiyy/ (prophet).

An Islamic tradition indicates that the house of 'Idris was in Sahlah Mosque, around Najaf in Iraq.(3) The first person who knew astronomy and arithmetic was Idris,(4) and he was the first one who taught tailoring to men.(5) Idris lived for 365 years, and then he was taken to heavens.
