Al-Khidr
Al-Khidr (Arabic: الخضر, literally "the green one", also transcribed: Khidr, Khidar, Khizr, Khizar) has a disputed status amongst scholars; some say he is a Saint (`Abdan Saalih) while others say he is a Prophet in Islam. He is assumed to be referred to in Qur'an sura Al-Kahf (18:66), in an encounter with Moses, where Moses (Nabi Musa), the Biblical prophet, meets him and asks Al-Khidr to allow him to accompany him so Moses can learn from Al-Khidr's knowledge. Al-Khidr, realizing that Moses had the Torah and divine knowledge to draw upon, informed him in a stern manner that their knowledge is of different nature and that Moses would not bear to observe him without asking questions. Moses promised to be patient and they agreed to travel together.
