T The Speculation About the Name "Haman" "

e
Those who keep themselves occupied by looking for
inconsistencies in the Qur'an refer to a man named "Haman" who
is mentioned in the Qur'anic verses as one of Pharaoh's men.
In the Torah, the name Haman is not used when the life of the
Prophet Moses is quoted. On the other hand, it is mentioned in the
Gospel to refer to a helper of the Babylonian king who lived 1,100
years after the Prophet Moses and persecuted the Jews.
Those who claim that the Prophet Muhammad wrote the
Qur'an in the light of the Torah and the Gospel also put forth the
sophistry that he copied some of the subjects in the Qur'an
wrongly.
The ridiculousness of this claim became obvious 200 years ago
when the Egyptian hieroglyphs were deciphered and the name
"Haman" was discovered.
Until then it had not been possible to read any of the writings
or tablets written in ancient Egyptian. The ancient Egyptian language
and hieroglyphs had been present for many thousands of years.
However, with the spread of Christianity and its cultural influences
during the second and third centuries AD the ancient Egyptians
forgot their religion as well as the language, and the use of
hieroglyphs came to a gradual stop. The year 394 AD is the last
known time when a hieroglyph was used. Afterwards this language
was forgotten, leaving nobody who could read and understand it.
Until some 200 years ago.
The ancient Egyptian language was deciphered in 1799 with the
discovery of a tablet dated to 196 BC called the "Rosetta Stone".
The unique nature of this tablet came from the fact that it was
written in three different forms of writing; hieroglyphics, demotic
(a simplified form of ancient Egyptian hieratic writing) and Greek.
