  Jeremiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeremiah or Yirmiyáhu (יִרְמְיָהוּ "Raised-up/Appointed of the LORD", Standard Hebrew Yirməyáhu, Tiberian Hebrew Yirməyāhû) (or, perhaps meaning "YHWH throws") was one of the "greater prophets" of the Old Testament, and the son of Hilkiah, a priest of Anathoth.
Jeremiah is also famous as "the broken-hearted prophet" (who wrote or dictated a "broken book", which has been difficult for scholars to put into chronological order), whose heart-rending life, and true prophecies of dire warning went largely-unheeded by the people of Judah.
Jeremiah was a popular name in the 1970's, as well as among the early Puritans, who often took the Biblical names of the prophets and apostles for themselves, and for their children.

 Khidr in the Islamic Tradition
Although prophets are not sinless, they represent the perfect human model, and embody the ultimate human quality in God’s eyes.
Khidr is one of the four prophets whom the Islamic tradition recognizes as being ‘alive’ or ‘immortal’.
Since Moses in the Islamic tradition is regarded as a prophet as well as a messenger; bearer of the divine command­ments, and conveyer of God’s truth to his people, his seeking of knowledge from a non-prophet does not fit the criterion of the divine wisdom given to all prophets.
