Prophet Dhul-Kifl
Allah the Almighty declared : Remember Ishmael and Idris and
Dhul Kifl, all were from among those who observe patience. (Ch
21:85-86 Quran).
Allah directed: Remember Our slaves, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
(all) owners of strength (in worshipping Us) and also of
religious understanding. Verily, We did choose them by granting
them (a good thing ) the remembrance of the home (in the
Hereafter and they used to make the people remember it and also
they used to invite the people to obey Allah and to do good
deeds for the Hereafter). And they are in Our Sight, verily of
the chosen and the best! Remember Ishmael, Elisha, and Dhul Kifl
all are among the best. (Ch 38:45-48 Quran).
Ibn Jarir narrated that he was not a prophet but he was a
righteous man. He supported his people to suffice their needs
and administrated justice among them. That is why he was called
Dhul Kifl. (means possessor of, or giving, a double requital or
portion)
