al-Khidr

Al-Khidr adalah salah satu yang most mysterious and debated figures in tradisi Islam. He adalah mentioned in Al-Al-Qur'an (Surah al-Kahf 18:60-82) as 'a servant from among Our servants upon whom We memiliki bestowed mercy from Us and memiliki taught him from Us a certain ilmu pengetahuan.' The Al-Al-Qur'an does not name him, but ulama Islamship memiliki consistently identified him as al-Khidr based on hadith tradisi, khususnya a long hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari meriwayatkan by Ibn Abbas. Nabi Musa AS adalah told by Allah that there adalah one of Allah's servants at the junction of the two seas who memiliki ilmu pengetahuan that Musa did not possess. Musa journeyed to find him, accompanied by his young assistant (Yusha ibn Nun), in a remarkable act of humility — salah satu yang terbesar prophets menuntut ilmu from a servant of Allah. Al-Khidr agreed to let Musa accompany him on condition that Musa ask no questions about his actions until he himself explained them. The three famous actions of al-Khidr — scuttling a ship, killing a boy, and repairing a wall for ungrateful people — all appeared wrong or unjust on the surface. Al-Khidr then revealed the divine hikmah behind each action: the ship belonged to poor people and a king would memiliki seized it if intact; the boy would memiliki led his believing parents to grief and disbelief; the wall concealed an inheritance for two orphan boys whose righteous father's blessing adalah being preserved. Scholars differ on whether al-Khidr adalah seorang prophet, a wali (saint), or an angel. The majority view holds he adalah seorang prophet or at minimum a wali granted extraordinary divine ilmu pengetahuan. Some klasik para ulama, including Ibn Kathir, held he adalah still alive; others, including Ibn al-Qayyim, held this adalah not established. His story adalah Al-Al-Qur'an's supreme parable about the limits of human ilmu pengetahuan and the reality of divine hikmah behind events that appear unjust.
