The Story of Dhul-Kifl is a bit of a mystery. There is not much information known or recorded and a lot of debate as to whether he truly is a Prophet. What we know about him is that he was a righteous man and a ‘company of the good’ who was also extremely patient. As Allah says in Surah al-Anbiya’ after the story of Ayyub, “And Isma‘eel, Idris, and Dhul Kifl, all of them were among the patient ones. And We admitted them to Our mercy, verily they were among the righteous.” (Qur’an 21: 85-86).
