What the Qur'an Says About Firawn
- This article expresses a pro-Islamic viewpoint.
Who is not familiar with the name of "Firawn"?. He was the ruler of Egypt, who considered himself a "god". The mummy in the picture belongs to the "Firawn", who ruled during the time of Hazrat Musa. He is the one who followed the "bani Israel" when Hazrat Musa was taking his people and leaving Egypt. This whole incident is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an. Allah not only drowned this "great infidel" in the sea, but also made him an example for the rest of the world for all eternity.
