Prophet al-Khidr - Between the Qur'anic Text and Islamic Contexts

This work situates the Qur’anic story of Moses’ meeting with Khi?r (Surat al-Kahf, 18:60-82) in an ever-expanding network of intercultural and interreligious ideas about knowledge, humility, and spiritual excellence, where Moses and Khi?r are seen as representing the ?ahir (exoteric) and the ba?in (esoteric), respectively.
