(The food of elevation, the secrets of wild plants, and the beginning of the time of sewing)
First: The spiritual and historical dimension
1. The wise prophet and the elevated friend
Centuries after the descent of Adam, peace be upon him, and the multiplication of mankind on earth, God Almighty sent His prophet Idris, peace be upon him (who is Noah or Enoch in the ancient books). God Almighty describes him in His Holy Book with heart-stirring words of exaltation and high standing:
“And mention in the Book, Idris. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet. And We raised him to a high station.” (Maryam: 56-57)
Historical and exegetical sources mention that Idris, peace be upon him, was the first to write with a pen, the first to study astronomy and mathematics, and the first to sew clothes to clothe humanity after they had worn animal skins. This prophet represented a leap forward in human wisdom, and his life was not devoid of this profound wisdom and extreme asceticism.
2. The Table of Asceticism and Wild Plants
Idris, peace be upon him, lived in a pristine environment, and historical accounts mention that he was a devout and ascetic man, spending most of his days in…
Fasting and contemplation. His table was not one of luxury or great sacrifices, but rather one of the bounties of the earth: wild plants, legumes, and fresh wild fruits.
His food was simple, pure, and light on the stomach, aiding his mind and enabling him to contemplate the kingdom of heaven and earth. He ate to sustain himself for worship and teaching, and his food was the source of his physical lightness and spiritual purity, thus earning him the spiritual and physical elevation with which God honored him.
Secondly: Scientific and Medical Analysis (A Modern Perspective)
If we examine the diet of Prophet Idris (peace be upon him), which consisted of wild plants, legumes, and green leaves, from a nutritional science perspective, we will discover the secret behind his “mental clarity and physical agility”: 1. Powerful Antioxidants and Mental Clarity
1. Wild plants and herbs that grow naturally without human intervention or artificial fertilizers are rich in high concentrations of micronutrients and antioxidants (such as polyphenols). Scientifically, these substances cleanse brain cells of free radicals and prevent brain fog, thus granting a person sharp focus and exceptional mental clarity befitting a prophet receiving revelation and studying the sciences of the universe.
2. Legumes and Sustainable Plant-Based Protein
Relying on legumes and grains provides the body with clean protein accompanied by soluble fiber. This natural combination gives a prolonged feeling of satiety without putting pressure on the digestive system or causing the lethargy that follows heavy, fatty, and meaty meals.
3. Metabolic Purity and Lightness
Raw plant-based foods increase the body’s alkalinity and reduce internal acids and inflammation. This dietary pattern maintains arterial elasticity, prevents lethargy, and promotes light and active movement. It is the ideal choice for those who practice frequent fasting, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) did. Third: The Kitchen of Prophecy (A Modern Recipe from the Table of Idris)
To restore serenity and purity to your body and mind, you can incorporate “Wild Leaf and Pulse Soup” into your diet.
Ingredients: A selection of whole legumes (brown lentils, processed or boiled chickpeas), with rich green leaves (such as spinach, chard, or radishes), with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, a pinch of cumin, and sea salt.
Preparation: Boil the legumes until tender, then add the green leaves in the last few minutes to allow the soup to simmer gently and release its minerals without losing its vitamins through overcooking. Remove the soup from the heat and garnish with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
Benefits: This soup is very rich in magnesium, potassium, and iron. It gives your digestive system a complete break from heavy meals, boosts your energy levels, and nourishes your mind, leaving you feeling light and focused throughout the day.
First shot (intriguing): A hand appears, writing with a pen or sewing an old garment with a needle, against a backdrop of green leaves and a simple soup.
Voice in a strong tone: “Who is the prophet whom God elevated to a high position? And the first person in human history to write with a pen and sew clothes?”
Second shot: The text (The Table of Prophet Idris, peace be upon him) appears.
Audio: “Prophet Idris, peace be upon him, was a symbol of wisdom and asceticism. His table wasn’t laden with meat and heavy meals; it was a wild, plant-based table consisting of legumes and pure green herbs. Nutritional science says that the high content of antioxidants Oxidation in food is the secret behind superior mental clarity and preventing body lethargy and brain fog.
