Answer:

 

Hadrat Khidr Moosa

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 18 Surah Kahf verses 65-66:

65 So they (Prophet Moses (a.s.) and his companion) found one of Our servants on whom We had bestowed Mercy from Ourselves and whom We had taught knowledge from Our own presence.

66 Moses said to him: "May I follow thee on the footing that thou teach me something of the (Higher) Truth which thou hast been taught?"

 

Although there is no mention in the Quran of a Khidr by name, the Messenger of Allah (saws) advised that the person whom Prophet Moses (a.s.) met and traveled with and mentioned in the above verse of Surah Kahf as ‘Our (Allah’s) servant’ was Hadrat Khidr (a.s.).

 

What we know for sure about Hadrat Khidr (a.s.) is what has been related in the Quran and in the authentic Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws). He was amongst the slaves of Allah Subhanah, upon whom Allah Subhanah had bestowed Mercy from Himself and whom He had taught knowledge from His Own Presence.

 

Because not much is known about this mysterious soul, a lot of self-invented folklore and myths are attached to this noble soul and slave of Allah Subhanah! There is absolutely no mention of his height or physical qualities in the Quran or Sunnah, thus Allah Alone Knows how tall he was; neither is there mention regarding whom he met and what he did other than what is related in the Quran of his meeting and travel with Prophet Moses (a.s.) in Surah Kahf.

 

Your Statement: I was told by my friend that there is one angel called Hazrat Khidr a.s Who is in Sea and he is very tall and strong the all sea reaches to his knee that much he is tall .......He appears only with innocent people or holy person only otherwise only small kids can see him ........I mean he never shows him self for any person who is miture Or not Godly person .....

I just want to know is it true ???

Firstly, Prophet Moses (a.s.) met a human being whose name was ‘Khidr’, and there is absolutely no reason to believe that Hadrat Khidr (a.s.) was an angel.

 

Secondly, it seems from your note that your friend said there ‘is’ a Hadrat Khidr implying present tense… again, there is absolutely no reason to believe that Hadrat Khidr is presently alive!

 

Thirdly, the details of where he ‘resides’, his physical qualities, and whom me ‘meets’ are not at all mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah and thus there is absolutely no reason to believe there is any truth in such self-invented myths!

 

As believers we are to believe of the ‘unseen’ with conviction only what is mentioned in the Quran and the authentic Sunnah; and all the details given by your friend do not conform to the Truth of the Quran and the Sunnah…thus they cannot and should not be believed in the least!

 

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
