Allah the Almighty declared: And (remember) Ishmael and Idris (Enoch) and Dhul-Kifl, all were from among those who observe patience. Surah 21: 85-86
It is obvious from his being mentioned and praised in the Glorious Qur'an along with those other prophets that Dhul-Kifl was a prophet.
However, some of the Qur'anic commentators assumed that he was not a prophet but that he was righteous and strictly just.
Ibn Jarir narrated that he was not a prophet but he was a righteous man. He supported his people to suffice their needs and administered justice among them. That is why he was called Dhul-Kifl .Dhul-Kifl literally means "possessor of. or giving. a double requital or portion". (Source: A. Yusuf All, The Holy Quran: Translation and Commentary, footnote 2743 to murak 2 1:85.)

Dhul-Kifl: most likely Ezekiel.
The status of Dhul-Kifl as a prophet is debatable within Islam, although both sides can agree that he was indeed a righteous man who strived in the way of God. Some studies also note that Dhul-Kifl can be also Obadiah, who is mentioned in the Old Testament to be the one that took care of 100 prophets.

Hey, Tenn Gal, Moses is a Prophet of Islam.
Do you think that he's the devil.
Neither do I.
Be respectful.
Peace.

some people named this Dhul-Kifl as Ezekiel. But this is an utter foolishness. Dhul-Kifl and Ezekiel has no similarity like Nooh/Noah, Haroon/Aron, Moosa/Moses/.
This is just a claim of Islamic scholars.
