Page 65 - The Prophet Moses (pbuh)
P. 65
Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)
Here again, the miraculous qualities of the Qur'an are evidenced once
again: because the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) lived much before the New
Kingdom, the Qur'an refers to the Egyptian king who was contemporary of
the Prophet Joseph with the word "malik" and not "pharaoh." The Prophet
Moses (pbuh), on the other hand, lived during the time of the New
Kingdom, and, therefore, the Egyptian ruler who was contemporary of the
Prophet Moses (pbuh) was referred to in the Qur'an as "pharaoh."
Clearly, such a distinction implies a certain knowledge of the history of
the ancient Egypt. However, as mentioned earlier, the history of Ancient
Egypt was completely forgotten by the 4th century, since hieroglyphic writ-
ing was not deciphered until the 19th century. Therefore, during the period
the Qur'an was revealed, no in-depth knowledge of Egyptian history was
available. This fact is yet another piece of evidence, among countless of
others, proving the fact that Qur'an is the word of Allah.
Those who perform good actions will receive
better than them and will be safe that
Day from fear.
(Surat an-Naml: 89)
