Dhu'l-Kifl

Dhu'l-Kifl (Arabic: ‏ذُو الْكِفْل‎, romanized: ḏū l-kifl, lit. 'Possessor of the Portion'), also spelled Dhu al-Kifl, Dhu l-Kifl, Dhul-Kifl, Zu al-Kifl, Zul Kifl, or Zu l-Kifl, is an Islamic prophet. Although his identity is unknown, his identity has been theorised and identified as various Hebrew Bible prophets and other figures, most commonly Ezekiel. Dhu'l-Kifl is believed to have been raised by Allah 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 Dhu'l-Kifl from other historical sources, all the writings from classical commentators, such as Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Kathir, speak of Dhu'l-Kifl as a prophetic, saintly man who remained faithful in daily prayer (Arabic: صلاة, romanized: ṣalāh) and worship (Arabic: عبادة, romanized: ʿibāda).

A tomb in the Ergani province of Diyarbakir, Turkey is believed by some to be the resting place of Prophet Dhu'l-Kifl. It is located 5 km from the city centre on a hill called Makam Dağı.
