Bismillah ir-rahman ir-rahim
Assalam alaykum warahmatullah wabrakatu
Allah has praised Enoch, describing him as being
a prophet and truthful: Mention in the Noble Book, Quran Idris (Enoch). “And remember Ismail, Idris
and Dhul-kifl, all (men) of constancy and patience. We admitted them to Our
Mercy: for they were of the righteous ones.” [Surah Al-Anbiyaa 21:85-86]. Enoch was born and raised in Babylon following the teachings and
religion of Prophet Adam (May peace be upon him) and his son Seth (May peace be
upon him). Enoch was the fifth generation of the Prophet Adam. He called the
people back to his forefather’s religion, but only a few listened to him, while
the majority turned away.
Prophet Enoch and his followers left Babylon for Egypt. There he carried on his mission, calling people to what is just and fair, teaching them certain prayers and instructing them to fast on certain days and to give a portion of their wealth to the poor. He was the first of the Children of Adam to be given prophethood after Adam and Seth (May peace upon them). It is reported that he was the first to invent the basic form of writing. Some of his wise sayings are: Happy is he who looks at his own deeds and appoints them as pleaders to his Lord None can show better gratitude for Allah's favors than he who shares them with others, Do not envy people for what they have as they will only enjoy it for a short while, He who indulges in excess will not benefit from it, The real joy of life is to have wisdom.
By Ibn Kathir.
And Allah knows best.
