Every group of the nation of Prophet Idris built cities in their lands. During Prophet Idri s' time, eighty-eight (88) cities were built. Prophet Idris was famous for his wisdom. Among his wise statements is: "Patience,1 along with belief, leads to success." 1 Patience is of three kinds: a) to be patient in performing what Allah made obligatory among the matters of obedience: like praying and fasting Ramadan) to be patient in refraining from what Allah forbade: like leaving out prayers, drinking alcohol, and stealing c) to be patient when inflicted with hardships and calamities: like the pain or the harm caused by people, poverty, or sadness.
