Question:
He says: What is your opinion of the one who says that Idris (peace be upon him) is the grandfather of Noah (peace be upon him), and that there were prophets before Noah, but they were not messengers?
Answer:
Allah knows best about that. Allah knows best. It is said that Idris was before Noah, and Shith was also before Noah. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[An-Nisa 4:163]. So Noah (peace be upon him) is the first messenger to the people of the earth. This does not preclude that there were prophets before him. Yes.
