[In one of His Tablets Bahá’u’lláh wrote: ‘The first person who devoted himself to philosophy was Idris. Thus was he named. Some called him also Hermes. In every tongue he hath a special name. He it is who hath set forth in every branch of philosophy thorough and convincing statements. After him Balinus derived his knowledge and sciences from the Hermetic Tablets and most of the philosophers who followed him made their philosophical and scientific discoveries from his words and statements…’ In the Qur’án, Sura 19, verses 57 and 58, is written: ‘And commemorate Idris in the Book; for he was a man of truth, a Prophet; And we uplifted him to a place on high.’]
