إدريس
The Quran gives a brief, honouring account: Idris was truthful, a prophet, steadfast, righteous, and raised to an honoured station.
Allah tells the reader to remember Idris and describes him as a man of truth and a prophet, raised to an honoured station.
He is named with Ismail and Dhul-Kifl among the steadfast whom Allah admitted into His mercy. The Quran supplies no longer biography.

Editorial reflection
A question the story leaves open
A brief Quranic testimony is an honour in itself; it does not need an embellished biography.
