Exploring the Prophetic Legacy: From Idris (AS) to Sheeth (AS), and the Call to Monotheism

Between Prophet Adam (AS) and Prophet Nuh (AS), several key figures were chosen to carry the divine message and guide humanity towards righteousness. Prophet Idris (AS), known for his wisdom and elevated status, and Prophet Sheeth (AS), the son of Adam, played significant roles in preserving the message of monotheism and virtue. Though their stories may not be as widely known, their contributions laid the foundation for the great flood that was to come, marking a turning point in the history of mankind.

In Shia sources like Hayyat al-Qulub, we learn about the lives and legacies of these prophets, emphasizing their devotion to Allah and their commitment to guiding people through periods of darkness. Their perseverance in the face of resistance from their communities offers valuable lessons in faith, patience, and divine wisdom.

Prophet Idris (AS), revered for his wisdom, was the first to write with a pen and is often associated with early scriptures. Prophet Sheeth (AS), continuing the mission of his father, Adam, sought to maintain the principles of justice and righteousness on Earth. These prophets exemplify the unbroken chain of divine guidance that culminates in the mission of Prophet Nuh (AS), who would later face the great flood.

786 Returning to the Divine Path of Knowledge, Mercy, and Purpose through the Asma'ul Husna and the Lives of the Prophets (AS) Message to the Ummah: Realigning Our Lives with Divine Guidance SubhanAllah, when we reflect on the purpose and structure of our lives through the lens of divine guidance, Allah often opens our hearts to deeper understanding. This realization, grounded in Islamic teachings, calls us back to the essentials that have shaped the path of humanity—primarily the knowledge of the Names of Allah, the role of the Prophets (AS), and the value of knowledge itself. The Names of Allah (Asma'ul Husna) are not mere titles—they are key to our growth and understanding. These names reflect Allah’s mercy, justice, wisdom, and countless other attributes. When we internalize these names, they shape how we live, guiding our actions, our relationships, and our way of being in the world. By embracing these divine qualities, we align ourselves with the guidance that leads to a...

  Prophet Idris: The Bridge of Wisdom Between Worlds In Islamic tradition, Prophet Idris (known in Judeo-Christian traditions as Enoch) is revered for his deep devotion to Allah and his immense contributions to knowledge and civilization. His wisdom is celebrated as being ahead of his time, with many ascribing to him the first use of the pen and the invention of various sciences. An intriguing aspect of Prophet Idris's legacy is his identification with Hermes Trismegistus, a figure in Greek and Egyptian mythology. Hermes Trismegistus is a syncretic figure combining the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, both gods of wisdom, writing, and esoteric knowledge.

Reflecting on Sacred Geometry: Signs of Divine Wisdom

Contemplating the Legacy of a Prophet and the Divine Art of Creation Sacred geometry is not merely an art or science—it is a divine language, an intricate code that speaks to the Creator’s infinite wisdom. Its patterns, found in the cosmos, nature, and human design, serve as signs of Allah’s harmonious and balanced creation. But beyond its physical beauty, sacred geometry connects the material and spiritual worlds, urging us to recognize the divine order underlying all existence. A prophet, celebrated for his wisdom in astronomy, the mastery of the pen, and his insight into creation, is said to have left behind a legacy of sacred geometry. This connection demands our reflection: why was the pen—a tool associated with recording, creativity, and divine knowledge—emphasized so far back in human history? The Qur’an itself highlights its significance: "Read, and your Lord is the Most Generous—Who taught by the pen." ( Surah Al-Alaq: 3-4 ) The teachings attributed to this prophet ...
