Thus, human beings are indebted to him in astronomy, geometry, philosophy, mathematics and logic. | According to historical reports in Islamic books, Idris was the first person who did tailoring and put on clothes and until then, people put on skins of animals.

Some have recited "'Peace be to Ilyas!'" (37:130) as "peace be to Idris". | ||
However, it seems that Ilyas is different from Idris, because in chapter An'am, it is mentioned, "This was Our argument that We gave to Abraham against his people. We raise in rank whomever We wish. Indeed your Lord is all-wise, all-knowing. * And We gave him Isaac and Jacob and guided each of them.
