Who was the companion of Musa in surah Kahaf of Quran and was he a prophet?
Khidr (Allah bless him) is an individual mentioned extensively in surah al-Kahf of the Qur'an as a companion hazrat Musa (A.S). He was one "granted mercy… and taught knowledge" (18:65). The name "Khidr" means "the green one". It is narrated from Abu Hurayra (Allah be well pleased with him) that the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, "He was named Khidr because he sat on a dry, barren piece of land and it suddenly became green under him." [Bukhari, Tirmidhi] The name of Khidr (A.S) is not explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an. The individual hazrat Musa met in surah al-Kahf is only identified as "one of our servants" (16:85), which gave rise to a difference of opinion regarding who exactly this person was. Imam Qurutbi states, "The aforementioned servant is Khidr. The established prophetic narratives mentioned by Imam Qurtubi are found in both Bukhari and Muslim. The scholars differed on whether Khidr (Allah bless him) was a prophet or a saint. Those who believed him to be a prophet did on the base of; He possessed knowledge that even prophet Musa (A.S) did not. Imam Qurtubi states that an individual does not learn nor follow except one who is higher than him and it is not possible that a non-prophetic figure be higher or superior to a prophetic one. He performed actions, such as killing a child and sinking a boat, that could have only been commanded by means of revelation and not spiritual disclosure and unveiling (ilham/kashf). He was described in the Quran as one who was given "mercy from Us" (18:65) Mainly the prophets are the one's Quran usually mentions like this. [Qurtubi, Ahkam al-Qur'an; Abu'l Su`ud, Tafsir; Razi, Tafsir al-Kabir; Nawawi, Sharh Sahih Muslim]
What is the name of a good person who was good with prophet musa?
Two main companions of the Prophet Musa can be mentioned here. One is Khidr Al.S Though the name of Khidr (Allah bless him) is not explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an. The individual our liege-lord Musa (Allah bless him) met in surah al-Kahf is only identified as "one of our servants" (16:85), which gave rise to a difference of opinion regarding who exactly this person was. Imam Qurutbi states, "The aforementioned servant is Khidr according to the majority of scholars and according to what is indicated by established prophetic narratives. Some, whose statement is given no consideration, opposed this stating that it was not Khidr who was the companion of Musa but another knowledgable person." [Tafsir Ahkam al-Qur'an] The other is Hazrat Harun AL.S When Allah commanded the Prophet Musa (as) to communicate His message to Pharaoh, Musa (as) asked for his brother Harun (as) to accompany him. Musa's (as) wish was granted by Allah. Allah declared that Harun (as) had been allowed to accompany Musa (as) in order to support him in his mission to Pharaoh as well as during his struggle with his people. After Allah rescued the Prophet Musa (as) and his adherents from Pharaoh and his soldiers, Musa (as) left his people for sometime, leaving them in the care of Harun (as). However, disbelievers among the tribe of the Prophet Musa (as) took advantage ofis absence; under the leadership of a hypocrite called Samiri, they made an idol in the shape of a calf and began to worship it.

What is the colour meaning for saudia Arabia flag?
Green is considered the traditional color of Islam. There are several reasons for this. First, Muhammad is reliably quoted in a hadith as saying that "water, greenery, and a beautiful face" were three universally good things In the Qur'an, sura Al-Insan, believers in God in Paradise wear fine green silk. Also, Al-Khidr ("The Green One"), is a Qur'anic figure who met and traveled with Moses. (For Example) The Libyan flag is completely green, in honor of Islam's veneration of the color.
Is prophet Khizr A.S still alive?
The majority of scholars hold that he is alive and present among us, and this is agreed upon between the Sufis, the people of righteousness and Gnosis (Christian holy book). There narratives regarding witnessing him, gathering with him, taking from him, asking him questions and receiving answers from him, and his presence in noble and good situations and abodes is more than can be enumerated and more famous than can be concealed. The Shaykh, Abu `Amr ibn Salah, said, 'He is alive according to the majority of scholars and righteous and the commonality are with them in this." A sound (hasan) narration, as stated by Ibn Hajar, narrated by Imam Ahmad in the Kitab al-Zuhd wherein the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said that prophet Ilyas (Allah bless him) and Khidr (Allah bless him) meet every year and spend the month of Ramadan in Jerusalem. Even he is however not immortal since immortality is defined as someone not being subject to death. This is clearly negated in the Quranic verse, "We have not granted any man before you eternity. Every soul shall taste death." (21:34-35) Rather, the scholars differed regarding when Khidr (Allah bless him) would die. Some said that would die after killing Dajjal. Others said he would die after the raising of Quran. Others kept it general stating that he would die at the end of time. [Nawawi, Sharh Sahih Muslim; Alusi, Ruh al-Ma`ani] Similarly, they differed regarding how long he has been alive for. Was he alive before the time of Nuh (Allah bless him) or after? These are issues that have no decisive proof, do not form part of the necessary belief Muslims are required to hold.
What does extraterrestrial mean?
the opposite of terrestrial No, "extraterrestrial" is not the opposite of "terrestrial." "Terrestrial" pertains only to "of the Earth" and is generally interpreted to be exclusive of anything that is "more." "Extraterrestrial" is inclusive of "terrestrial" and all that is "more." Gautama Buddha was born in a human body and had many experiences during his life, one of which has been termed Enlightenment. Enlightenment is not considered a normal aspect of Earth-born human beings. Buddha never left the planet (until perhaps after his death). But he had an experience that elevated his perspective well above the norm. So he inhabited a terrestrial form while espousing an essentially extraterrestrial way of life: he was "human-plus". Is Buddhism therefore based on non-terrestrial principles? Billions of people have followed Buddha's path over the years, many of them also becoming Enlightened. Does that mean they, too, graduated from being mere terrestrial humans into membership in some extraterrestrial brotherhood? Jesus Christ was born in a human form to a human mother, but his life story is touted as always being much more than the human norm. Does that make him "the opposite of terrestrial?" Are Christian teachings also based on non-terrestrial principles? Mohammed dictated the Quran to his wife and she wrote his words down (she was literate, he was not). The Quran was spoken into his ear by a green entity named Khidr. The actuality of Khidr was attested to by the Companions of the Prophet. So is Islam a religion based on the dictates of a non-terrestrial being? Are devout Muslims trying to become "extraterrestrials" through their prayers and devotional practices? Sri Krishna of Bhagavad Gita fame was reputed to be a blue, humanoid entity. Are hundreds of millions of devout Hindus following the dictates of a non-terrestrial being and trying themselves to become "extraterrestrials"?

What does the Qur'an have to say about the prophets that arrived before Muhammad?
The Islamic definition of a prophet is someone who has been chosen and favoured by Allah (God) to convey his message to the people on earth and to bring them to believe in and worship him alone. In Islam there are two types of prophets, one is the Nabi who are regular prophets sent to do as mentioned. The second type is the Rasool who are high prophets or messengers as they were sent a revelation in the form of a holy book, they are obviously higher in status. Islam has 124000 prophets. The Prophet Muhammad was the final and greatest of them. Though mostly it's the Semitic prophets of the Middle East that are mentioned in the Islamic faith. This isn't to say the Europeans, Native Americans, Africans, central Asians, Aborigines, South Pacificers, Indians, Far easterners etc weren't sent prophets as Muslims believe that Allah sent prophets to every people. As well as the Prophet Muhammad - Other renowned prophets of Islam include Adam, Nuh (Noah), Musa (Moses), Harun (Aaron), Ibrahim (Abraham), Lut (Lot), Ismail (Ishmael), Is'haq (Isaac), Yacoob (Jacob), Yousef (Joseph), Daud (David), Sulaiman (Soloman), Yahya (John the baptist - though this isn't his role in Islam) & Isa (Jesus). Others who are less known include Idris (Enoch*), Salih (Shaloh*), Hud (Eber*), Ayoub (Job), Zakariah, Shoaib (Jethro*), Dhulkifl (Eziekiel), Alias (Elijah), Alyasa (Elisha) & Yunus (Jonah) The following are mentioned in hadith or known from Oral tradition; Ishaia (Isaiah), Sheeth (Seth), Uzair (Ezra), Danyal (Daniel), Armya (Jeremiah) & Samuel. Dhul-Karnain, Joshua (Assistant to Moses), Imran (Father of Mary), Khidr & Luqman are all mentioned as great men but their prophethood hasn't been specified, so they may have just been great pious individuals favoured by Allah. Note: First; Islamic/Arabic name (Brackets; Biblical eqivalent - in some cases it isn't 100% certain if they are the same person but it is the most likely candidate; marked with asterisk*)
