Yet how hypocritical it is that some
famous scientists rely on the data written in the OT while proving the ciphered verse of the Koran about the Pharaoh’s body
The Koran, unlike the book of Genesis, teaches that there was only ONE Pharaoh in history! This evidently contradicts the findings highligted by Dr. Bucaille, who asserts Merneptah was the Pharaoh of the Exodus
It is rather funny that people strive to identify the Pharaoh of the Exodus in order to prove the so-called prophetic verse of Mohammed’s scripture, which is unaware of the basic historic differentiation of Egyptian kings
More, another chapter of the Islamic Bible repeating the disaster befalling Pharaoh interestingly claims that both the Pharaoh and his army became an example for the people of the coming generations:
**043: 51 ** And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people saying: O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers flowing under me ? Can ye not then discern ?
043: 55-56 So, when they angered Us, We punished them and drowned
them every one. And We made
them a thing past, and
an example for those after (them).
Apparently, the tenth chapter of the Koran singles Pharaoh out as the head of the armies & the most important character of the incident, maintaining the same theme of making him a sign for others. Besides, it is not a coincidence that this chapter refers to people believing in Allah only to avoid disasters. For instance:
010: 012 And if misfortune touch a man he crieth unto Us, (while reclining) on his side, or sitting or standing, but when We have relieved him of the misfortune he goeth his way as though he had not cried unto Us because of a misfortune that afflicted him. Thus is what they do made (seeming) fair unto the prodigal.
010: 022 He it is Who maketh you to go on the land and the sea till, when ye are in the ships and they sail with them with a fair breeze and they are glad therein, a storm- wind reacheth them and the wave cometh unto them from every side and
they deem that they are overwhelmed therein; (then)
they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only:
If Thou deliver us from this, we truly will be of the thankful.
010: 096-97 Lo! those for whom the word of thy Lord (concerning sinners) hath effect will not believe, Though every token come unto them,
till they see the painful doom.
In short, Pharaoh was saved in the body (meaning he was not saved from death!) so that he could be a sign of warning for unbelievers who think they can avoid death if they repent after seeing their doom.
Finally, this chapter was named after Jonah because Mohammed’s scribes considered the conversion of the people of Nineveh as the only last-minute salvation accepted by Allah:
010: 098 If only there had been a community (of all those that were destroyed of old) that
believed and profited by its belief as did
the folk of Jonah! When they believed We drew off from them the torment of disgrace in the life of the world and gave them comfort for a while.
As long as some scientists keep quoting Koran verses by disregarding their context and avoiding comparative reading of similar verses, we shall keep facing several examples of Islamic hoax
