Dhul-Kifl

Dhul-Kifl, or Zul-Kifl (Classical/ Qur'anic Arabic: ذَا ٱلْكِفْل / ذُو ٱلْكِفْل [Dhū 'l-Kifl/ Dhā 'l-Kifl]; "Possessor of a Fold") (c. 600 BCE) is an Islamic prophet who has been identified with various Hebrew Bible prophets, most commonly Ezekiel. It is believed that he lived for roughly 75 years and that he preached in what is modern day Iraq. Dhul-Kifl is believed to have been exalted by God to a high station in life and is chronicled in the Qur'an as a man of the "Company of the Good. Although not much is known of Dhul-Kifl from other historical sources, all the writings from classical commentators, such as Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Kathir, speak of Dhul-Kifl as a prophetic, saintly man who remained faithful in daily prayer and worship.

Dhul-Kifl has been mentioned twice in the Holy Qur'an, in the following Qur'anic verses:

And (remember) Isma'il, Idris, and Zul-kifl, all (men) of constancy and patience.
We admitted them to Our mercy: for they were of the righteous ones.

And commemorate Isma'il, Elisha and Zul-Kifl: Each of them was of the Company of the Good.

In both cases, Dhū'l-Kifl is mentioned in the context of a list of Qur'anic prophets, including many others not mentioned in the ayat quoted above.

The name Dhul Kifl literally means "the one with a kifl", using a type of name where ذُو dhū ("possessor of") precedes some characteristically associated feature. Such names were used of other notable figures in the Qur'an, for example ذُوٱلْنُّون Dhū 'l-Nūn / ذَا ٱلْنُّون Dhā 'l-Nūn "the One with the Fish", referring to Jonah, and ذُوٱلْقَرْنَيْن Dhū'l-Qarnayn / / ذَا ٱلْنُّون Dhā 'l-Qarnayn "He of the Two Horns", referring to Cyrus the Great, Kifl is an archaic Arabic word meaning "double" or "duplicate", from a root meaning "to double" or "to fold"; it was also used for a fold of cloth. The name is generally understood to mean "one of a double portion". Some scholars have suggested that the name means "the man with the double recompense" or rather "the man who received recompense twice over", that is to say that it is a title for Job, as his family was returned to him according to the Qur'an and the Book of Job.
