ENOCH (IDRIS)
Enoch (Idris) was born in the seventh generation from Adam and was the great grand father of Noah. He was a great prophet and was the recipient of numerous revelations from God. He was the originator of the art of writing, astrology, astronomy, mathematics, sewing, weights and measures and many useful instruments and implements.
It is known that despite his knowledge and piety, the people of his time ignored his teachings and the Lord brought His punishment towards them in the form of a prolonged. drought. When they repented, Enoch prayed for their forgiveness and the Lord sent down rain to quench the land and swell the rivers for trade and prosperity.
Enoch often observed fasting and spent so much of his time in prayers that even the angels in the heavens wondered over his worship. It is said that he was taken away alive by God and is kept in occultation by His Will. Enoch left a large progeny. on Earth from whom God chose great leaders and prophets.
