Generations after Adam walked the earth, his family had scattered into two very different worlds: one still climbing the mountain to remember Allah, the other drifting toward music, idols, and noise in the valley below.
Into that divide was born a boy named Akhnukh, the one history would remember as Idris.
He grew up to become the world's first tailor, stitching cloth to fit the human body for the first time in history, all while his lips never stopped moving in quiet remembrance of his Lord. He mapped the stars until he knew the night sky by heart. He invented fair measures for trade, studied medicine, and gentled wild horses with nothing but patience. Then one day, the angel Jibreel came down with revelation, and the tailor became a prophet.
For forty years, Idris stood before a hostile king and a people who had forgotten their Creator, and he never once softened the truth to make it easier to hear. He wandered as far as the Nile, learning its rhythms so well that farmers could finally trust the harvest again. And in a moment of pure selflessness under a punishing sun, this was a man who thought first of an angel's burden before his own.
The Quran calls him a man of truth, raised to a high station, one of only two verses where his name appears directly. This book brings the rest of his story to life: the discipline, the devotion, and the quiet, unglamorous faithfulness of a man who simply never stopped remembering.
Book 2 in The Prophets of Allah series, following Book 1: The First Human (Adam). A story of patience, purpose, and remembrance for readers ages 8 to 14, and for anyone who wants to meet a prophet history nearly forgot.
