In Search of Khidr’s Footprints in Akhir al-Zaman
On the figure of Khidr and the traces the author reads as his in the present age.
Khidr appears in Surah al-Kahf as the unnamed servant of God whose actions Moses cannot understand until they are explained. Hosein takes that encounter as a lesson in the limits of surface knowledge, and asks what it would mean to recognise the same pattern, apparent harm concealing a larger good, in the events of the present age.
