The Story Of Prophet Dhul-Kifl/Ezekiel |16| - Possessor of the Fold

Описание: Prophets of Allah (God) Series
قصة النبي ذو الكفل عليه السلام
Welcome to Part 16, Dhul-Kifl, or Zul-Kifl (Arabic: ذُو ٱلْكِفْل‎) literally meaning "Possessor of the Fold") (c. 600 BCE) prophetic, saintly man who remained faithful in daily prayer and worship.

Kifl is an archaic Arabic word meaning "double" or "duplicate", from a root meaning "to double" or "to fold"; it was also used of a fold of cloth. The name is generally understood to mean "possessor of a double portion".
The reason people believe Ezekiel to be Dhul-Kifl is when the exile, monarchy, and state were annihilated, a political and national life was no longer possible. In the absence of a worldly foundation it became necessary to build a spiritual one. Ezekiel performed this mission by observing the signs of the time and deducing his doctrines from them. In conformity with the two parts of his book, his personality and his preaching are alike twofold, and the title Dhul-Kifl means "the one to double" or "to fold".
In addition to this Baidawi, the Qur'anic exegete, said that this name was given because Dhul-Kifl had to do double the work of other prophets.
