Khidhr was a saintly person at the time of Musa (Álayhis salaam). Allah Ta’
ala refers to their meeting in Surah Kahf. Ilyaas (Álayhis salaam) was a
Prophet of Allah. According to the Muhadditheen, Khidhr (Álayhis salaam) as
well as Ilyaas (Álayhis salaam) passed away. According to the Sufis, both
are still alive.
