According to Islamic tradition, Idris (Enoch) was a righteous man who lived before the time of Noah, and was one of the first people to call the people to worship only one God, and to teach them the knowledge of God.

Idris (Enoch) is also known for his status as one of the earliest prophets in Islamic tradition, and for being one of the first people to write about the knowledge of God. This is why he is considered to be one of the first people to call the people to worship only one God.

Additionally, Idris (Enoch) is known for his high status and his close relationship with God, as it is said that God raised him to a high station. It is believed that Idris (Enoch) was a prophet who lived a long life of several centuries and that he was taken up to the heavens without dying. This is the reason why he is considered as one of the righteous people and close to God.

In the Quran, Idris (Enoch) (also spelled Idris) is mentioned briefly in Surah 19:56-57, where it states:

"And remember Idris in the Book; indeed, he was a truthful prophet and a prophet, and We raised him to a high station."

In addition to the brief mention of Idris (Enoch) in the Quran, there are also several references to him in the Hadith, which are collections of the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. However, it's worth noting that not all Hadith are considered equally authentic and reliable by scholars and some Hadith may have been fabricated after the death of the Prophet Muhammad.
