Alkhadir (Elijah) Returns Painting

This painting revisits an older illustration in black and white from 1980. Al-Khidr, the Legendary Immortal Prophet, Mystic, Trickster and Sea Spirit in ancient Islamic legend, The roots of Khiḍr, also known as Khadir, go back to the earliest Muslim text, the Quran, in which he accompanies Moses as a servant of God. But because he is immortal, Khiḍr is said to have appeared to other Muslims through the centuries. Some scholars maintain that the character of Khiḍr is much older than Islam itself and that his roots lie in Utnapishtim of ancient Mesopotamia, or in the Canannanite god Kothar-wa-Khasis, or even the Zoroastrian water goddess Anahita. Khiḍr has been identified with the Christians’ St. George and with Elijah of the Bible.
