Idris ibn Yard ibn Mahla'il (Arabic: إدريس ʼIdrīs) was born to Yared and Barakna and was a grandfather of Prophet Nuh. Allah made him a prophet after 622 years of Adam's life had passed. He receive thirty Divine Scriptures. He called for the Oneness of Allah and was followed by one thousand people. Idris was the first to write, the first to wear sewn clothes and the first to think about astrology. He inherited from his father Yared that which his forefathers had bequeathed upon him, and had bequeathed to one another. All of this he did during the lifetime of Adam.
Adam died after 308 years of the life of Idris had passed. Idris summoned his people and admonished them. He commanded them to obey Allah and disobey Shaitan, and not to mix with the descendants of Qabil. They did not follow him but group after group of the descendants of Prophet Sheeth went down to the descendants of Qabil. It is written in the Tawrat that after 365 years of Idris' life and 527 years of his father's life had passed, Allah raised him up. After, his father Yared lived for another 435 years for a total of 962 years of life.
