Al-Khidr warns Prophet Musa that he will not be able to bear patience with him.

This indicates that the upcoming events will challenge normal reasoning and understanding.

Al-Khidr is highlighting the gap between divine wisdom and human perspective.

It teaches the lesson that divine plans may seem strange or unjust to us initially.

The verse prepares the reader for the unfolding of deeper spiritual truths.

Al-Khidr and Musa board a ship owned by poor people.

Al-Khidr damages the ship by making a hole in it.

Musa objects, seeing it as a harmful act without justification.

This reflects the human tendency to react based on outward appearances.

It sets the stage for the wisdom behind seemingly harmful actions.

Surah Al-Kahf 18:74 

They then encounter a young boy, whom Al-Khidr kills.

Musa again protests the act, as it appears unjust and cruel.

Musa’s reaction reflects the natural human sense of morality and justice.

Al-Khidr remains silent regarding the reasoning for now.

This incident deepens the trial of patience for Musa.

Surah Al-Kahf 18:77 

They arrive at a town where people refuse to host them.

Despite this, Al-Khidr repairs a wall about to collapse.

Musa again questions the logic behind helping unkind people.

This moment marks the third and final objection by Musa.

It leads to Al-Khidr preparing to explain the reasons behind his actions.

Al-Khidr explains that he damaged the boat to protect it from a tyrannical king.

The king was seizing every good boat by force in that region.

The boat belonged to poor fishermen who earned their living from it.

By creating a defect, the boat appeared worthless and was spared.

This act shows that apparent harm can sometimes lead to hidden benefit by Allah’s wisdom.

Al-Khidr explains that the boy was killed because he would have grown into a disbeliever and a source of grief to his believing parents.

His future behavior included rebellion against Allah and harming his parents.

By Allah’s command, Al-Khidr took the boy’s life before he could cause such pain.

The killing was not out of cruelty but out of divine wisdom and foresight.

Allah intended to replace him with a better and more righteous child for the parents.

(18:79) The ship was damaged by Al-Khidr to protect it from a tyrant king who was seizing every good ship by force — damaging it saved it.

(18:80) The boy was killed because he was destined to grow into a rebellious disbeliever who would distress his righteous parents.

(18:81) Allah intended to replace the boy with a better, purer child who would be more merciful and dutiful. (context continuation)

(18:82) The wall was repaired because it belonged to two orphan boys, and beneath it was buried treasure — their father was a righteous man.

All actions were done by Allah’s command, showing His wisdom, mercy, and care for His righteous servants even in unseen ways.

The wall belonged to two orphan boys living in the town, and beneath it was a treasure stored for them.

Their father was a righteous man, so Allah wanted to preserve the treasure until they matured.

The rebuilding of the wall ensured the treasure would remain hidden and protected.

This act reflects Allah’s mercy and reward for the righteousness of parents benefiting their children.

Al-Khidr clarified that he acted by Allah’s command, not by his own will, showing divine wisdom behind mysterious events.

The people asked Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about Dhul-Qarnayn, a great historical figure.

Allah informed the Prophet that He will narrate some important events about him.

Dhul-Qarnayn was a powerful, righteous king granted authority and resources by Allah.

He had the ability to travel far and wide and was given means to establish justice.

His story reflects leadership based on faith, wisdom, and service to humanity.

Dhul-Qarnayn reached the place where the sun appeared to set, a location near a dark, muddy spring.

The verse uses figurative language, describing the sunset from a human perspective.

There he encountered a people whose condition and conduct were unknown.

Allah gave him the choice to either punish or treat them kindly based on their actions.

This highlights Dhul-Qarnayn’s divinely guided authority and his moral responsibility.

Dhul-Qarnayn reached the westernmost point of his journey, where the sun appeared to set in a dark, muddy spring.

The description reflects his viewpoint, not a literal scientific fact.

He found a community living there, whose lifestyle is not detailed.

Allah gave him authority and allowed him to judge them as he saw fit.

This verse shows that his power was accompanied by moral responsibility under divine guidance.
