Baidawi asserted that Dhul-Kifl corresponds with the Jewish prophet Ezekiel, who was carried away to Babylon in chains and bore his duress patiently. A tomb said to be that of Dhul-Kifl can be seen in the town of Al Kifl, Iraq, near Najaf and Al Hillah. Others believed that he was a prophet. An opinion that has gained popularity in recent times is that Dhul-Kifl refers to Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism; Kifl being an Arabicised version of Kapilavastu the place where the Buddha was born.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /></blockquote>
