The story of Musa and Al-Khidr begins with Musa traveling in search of Khidr. But what inspired that search for knowledge? The Prophet Musa was already the leader of his people; yet he becomes a student, a seeker of greater knowledge on a journey that humbles and challenges him… Musa is willing to travel as long and as far as it takes to find the one whose wisdom is greater than his. Some say the phrase “go on for ages” meant “a year” in the dialect of the place. Abdullah ibn Amr said it meant 80 years, and Mujahid said 70 years. Ibn Abbas said it meant lifetimes. “I am seeking the meeting place of the two seas,” is symbolic of the place where perfect knowledge exists, the place where esoteric knowledge and exoteric knowledge meet. Musa represents the exoteric knowledge, and Khidr the esoteric knowledge. So the meeting of the two oceans was both literal and symbolic.
