RE: making the body count

in Memehub11 months ago

The Pharaoh had decreed that all baby boys were to be killed, because he feared that they might some day challenge him and become too powerful. When Moses (Musa) was born, his mother Jochebed hid him until she could hide him no longer. God instructed her to put him in a wicker basket and set him adrift on the Nile.

Asiya was the wife of Pharaoh and the adoptive mother of Moses, first mentioned in Surah Al-Qasas in the Quran, identified as Bithiah in the Jewish tradition. She is revered by Muslims as one of the four greatest women of all time, and according to a prophetic narration in Sahih al-Bukhari, the second ever.

Pharaoh, during his despotic rulership, he does not surrender to the command of God and his prophet and is continuously in war with them.

Pharaoh and his soldiers did die in the Red Sea as the parted water closed up on them. When drowning overtook him, he said, "I believe that there is no deity except that in whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of the Muslims." The Pharaoh's submission to God at the moment of death and total destruction was rejected but his dead body was saved as a lesson for posterity. God said that he preserved the pharaoh's body as an example for generations to come (or made an example for coming generations). Pharaoh is last mentioned in the Quran 89:13.
