Q How did Prophet Enoch ascend to heaven?
A Like Elijah, Enoch did not experience a traditional physical death on Earth. At the age of 365, God raised him directly to heaven to preserve him from worldly corruption, where Prophet Muhammad later met him in the fourth heaven during the Isra and Mi'raj (Night Journey).

What is a Prophet?In religion, a prophet is an individual who is regarded as being in contact with a divine being and is said to speak on that entity's behalf. They claim to be serving as an intermediary with humanity by delivering messages or teachings from the supernatural source to other people. The message that
the prophet conveys is called a prophecy. In Islam, all prophetic messengers are prophets (such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad) though not all prophets are prophetic messengers. The primary distinction is that a prophet is required to demonstrate God's law through his actions, character, and behavior without necessarily calling people to follow him, while a prophetic messenger is required to pronounce God's law (i.e. revelation) and call his people to submit and follow him.
What is Heaven?Heaven, or the Heavens, is a common religious cosmological or supernatural place where beings such as deities, angels, souls, saints, or venerated ancestors are said to originate, be enthroned, or reside. Heaven is often described as a 'highest place', the holiest place, a paradise, in contrast to
Hell or the Underworld or the 'low places' and universally or conditionally accessible by earthly beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith, or other virtues or right beliefs or simply divine will.
