Allah's Miracles in the Qur'an

Musa (as) and the believers with him, destroying Pharaoh and his peo-
ple. This aid from Allah is revealed thus:
So We revealed to Musa, "Strike the sea with your staff." And it split in
two, each part like a towering cliff. And We brought the others right up
to it. We rescued Musa and all those who were with him. Then We
drowned the rest. There is certainly a sign in that yet most of them are
not believers. Truly your Lord is the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
(Qur'an, 26:63-68)

In connection with this subject, the following account has recently
been found in papyruses from the time of Pharaoh:
From Amenamoni, head of the protective books of the white room of the
palace, to the scribe Penterhor:
When this letter reaches you and has been read point by point, surrender
your heart to the sharpest pain, like a leaf before the storm, when you
learn of the sorrowful disaster of the drowning in the whirlpool…
Calamity struck him suddenly and inescapably. Depict the destruction
of the lords, the lord of the tribes, the king of the east and the west. The
sleep in the waters has made something helpless out of something

great. What news can compare to the news I have sent you? 216
The fact that past events revealed in the Qur'an are being proved
