Popular concepts and perceptions in Persia and Southeast Asian countries differ from others in the rest of the Islamic world. The Persians combined the personality of Abd al-Saleh al-Khidr, peace be upon him, with spiritual features, knowledge and divine wisdom with the popular imaginations of al-Khidr - peace be upon him - as a mythical mystical figure since he is the only one who He discovered and drank from the water of the source of life, and knew al khidr in the same way in India, and the personality of al-khidr in the cities located in northern India witnessed reverence amounting to giving him the character of reverence and deification, this is in addition to the role of folklore in India, which had a great impact on the form of al-khidr that appeared in the Miniatures of the subject of study.
