Dear Steemians.
That Allah SWT lowered the angel Rifa'il one day the king of julkarnain talked to King Iskanda Zulkarnain. King Zulkarnain asked the angel Rifa'il is there any way that he can worship constantly on Allah SWT. The Angel Rifa'il tells of Ainul Hayat, the springs of eternal life to King Zulkarnain. Angel Rafa'il, said that Allah created Ainul Hayat (water of life) located in the dark hemisphere, between two continents and whoever drank it (Ainul hayat) then he will live forever. So the king of Zulkarnain also asked his soldiers to prepare a provision and a strong horse to travel to the source of the water of life. Upon arriving at the spot informed by the angel Rifa'il, king Iskandar Zulkarnain told one of his men to enter first to look for Ainul Hayat. And that person is Khidir AS. On the revelation of Allah SWT, the prophet Khidr is given the guidance of the existence of Ainul Hayat by Allah SWT. and finally he was the one who drank it.
The king soon followed Khidr AS along with his troops, but they were not allowed to find the springs by Allah SWT. Finally only the prophet Khidir who get eternal life. Al-Khidir literally means 'Somebody Green' symbolizes the freshness of the soul, the color green symbolizes the freshness of knowledge "draws directly from the source of life." In the Encyclopædia Britannica site, it is said that Khidr has a name, the most famous of which is Balyā bin Malkān Khidir is cousin of Dzul Qarnain from mother's side. According to Ibn Abbas, Khidr is a son of Prophet Adam who obediently worshiped Allah and suspended his death. His mother came from Rome while his father was of Persian descent.
The story of Moses and Khidr is spoken by the Qur'an in Surah Al-Kahf verses 65-82. According to Ibn Abbas, Ubay bin Ka'ab reported that he heard the prophet Muhammad say: "One day, Moses stood in the audiences of the Children of Israel and he was asked," Who is the most knowledgeable man? "Moses answered," I "Then God rebuked Moses with his word, "Verily beside me is a servant who is in the confluence of two seas and he is more knowledgeable than you." Then Moses asked, "O my Lord, where can I meet him?" Allah also said, "Bring with you a fish in a cage and if the fish is lost, that's where you will meet my servant." Indeed the rebuke of Allah sparked a strong desire in Moses to meet the righteous slave. In addition, the Prophet Moses was also eager to learn the knowledge of the Servant of God. That is ultimately the prophet Moses. not to patiently follow the prophet Khidir As. and parted ways. The prophet Khidr continues to wander, in other narrations the Prophet khidir ascetic, dhikr to Allah while keeping Ainul life.
