Last night’s sohbet included stories about Ibrahim (as) and Nimrud & Musa (as) and Firaun.

We might have heard these stories before but it is worth repeating. Nimrud was ruling the whole world at the time. And he declared war on Allah (jj). With his arrogance he denied Ibrahim (as) and the message. When Ibrahim (as) told him Allah (jj) was the only God, he said he was God. When Ibrahim (as) said Allah gives life and death, he ordered two prisoners, ordered one’s head cut off and the other be left free. He said he could also give life and death. But when Ibrahim (as) said Allah makes the Sun to rise from the East and challenged him to make it rise from the West, Nimrud was beat. Because of that, Allah will make the Sun rise from the West in the End Times, then set back West. The doors of forgiveness are open until that moment, and that moment on the doors will be closed.

Nimrud was stubborn and raised an army of 100,000 fully armored soldiers. He said he was ready for war with Allah (jj). The higher the arrogance, the smaller the thing with which Allah makes the tyrant fall. He sent an army of millions of mosquitos that went through the armor and ate the flesh of the soldiers. There was amongst them a crippled one. He was sad that Allah (jj) didn’t give him the opportunity to serve Him. So Allah ordered that little cripple legged mosquito to finish Nimrud. The cripple got in Nimrud’s glass made room through the key whole, avoided Minrud’s attempts of swatting, and entered his head through his nose. There he started eating away at his brain. The pain was so severe that it caused constant severe headaches. The only time he could rest was when he tapped his head and the mosquito quit eating. As the pain grew, Nimrud ordered one of his servants to hit his head with a stick. After a while, the stick turned into a hammer. One day, the servant got fed up and hit him so hard his head cracked open and a mosquito the size of a bird came out flying.

The only other tyrant to rule the whole world was Firaun. Sheytan knocked on his door one day. He asked who it was. Sheytan said, “O cursed one, you don’t know who lies behind the door and you claim to be the Highest God, saying: ‘Ana Rabbukum al-Ala.’ I don’t even claim that.” He asked Firaun why he claimed that. Firaun said he had lots of magicians with powers. “So what?” said Sheytan and raising his one hand he showed him the inventions and events of the past, and raising the other showed him those of the present and future. These included computers, rockets, televisions, phones, etc. He said he liked what Firaun was doing and told him to continue fooling the people and doing Sheytan’s work.

When Musa (as) challenged Firaun, a place and time was set where all the magicians of his dominion came out. They threw there canes and ropes and it appeared to the people like snakes. Musa (as) dropped his staff and it turned into a snake too. This snake started swallowing the other snakes one by one while not growing in size. The magicians went into prostration and said they believed in Musa (as) now. Firaun asked why they submitted to Musa (as). They said what they were doing was magic, a temporary veiling of the eye, but this other snake was real. Firaun threatened them with death. They said it was alright because they had seen the Truth and could not go back to their old ways.

A miracle, by definition, is a supernatural event beyond the laws of science; it is fulfilled only by Allah's will and power. It has significance and can be confirmed only by those who directly witnessed the event in time.

When Francisco Mitra became the president of France in 1981, France requested from the Egyptian government to host the mummy of Pharaoh. For the purpose of running laboratory and archeological examinations on the mummy of the most notorious dictator ever lived on earth. Upon arrival, very royal attendants were there including the French president himself and all ministers who bowed in honor for the Firaun Mummy.

When the ceremony ended, the mummy was carried to a specially-designed section at the Archeology Centre of France. Were it started to be tested by the greatest French archeological and anatomical scientists in order to discover more about such a great Firaun Mummy.

The scientists were headed by Professor Maurice Bucaille. The scientists were trying to restore the mummy while Professor Maurice Bucaille was mainly concerned with how did this mummy died? The final report of the scientists was released late at night which states that the remaining salt in the mummy is an overt evidence that it was drawn in the sea, and the body was rescued very shortly where it was immediately embalmed to be saved.

An amazing thing was still confusing Professor Maurice Bucaille is that how could this body possibly be safer than any other mummy despite being taken out of the sea up until this time. Professor Maurice Bucaille was writing his final report on what he thought would be a new discovery about saving Pharaoh's body immediately after his death and embalming it.

Note: The picture shown above is the dead body of Ramses II, the Egyptian King in the era of Prophet Moses (pbuh). Its age is approximately 3000 years old and it was found by the Red Sea, at the place called Jabalain, and is now on display in the Royal Mummies Chamber of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

And there, someone whispered to him that Muslims claim to know something about the drowning of this mummy. Yet Professor Maurice Bucaille firmly denied such thing saying that it's impossible to discover this without the development of science and without using his high-tech and complicated laboratories and computers.

To his surprise, he was told that Muslims believe in a book called "Holy Quran" and this Holy Quran narrates the story of Pharaoh's drowning and ensures the safety of his body after his death as to be a Sign to mankind.

Professor Maurice Bucaille couldn't believe his own ears and started to wonder: How can a book existed 1400 years ago speak about the mummy that was only found 111 years ago, in 1898? How can that be possible while the ancient Egyptian heritage was discovered only a few decades ago and no one knew about it before?

Professor Maurice Bucaille sat down pondering on what he was told about the book of Muslims, Holy Quran while his Holy Book (The Bible) narrates only the drowning of Pharaoh without saying anything about his body.

"Is it possible that this mummy in front of me is the one who was chasing Prophet Moses?" "Is it possible that Prophet Muhammad knew this 1400 years ago?"

Professor Maurice Bucaille couldn't sleep that night till they brought him the Old Testament where he read: "And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. (Exodus 14:28) But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. (Psalm 136:15) For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the Children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. (Exodus 15:19)"

Professor Maurice Bucaille was surprised that the Holy Book (The Bible) didn't mention about the destiny of the body and that it will be saved.

When the scientists were done with the mummy, France retuned it to Egypt, but Professor Maurice Bucaille couldn't rest for a moment since he was told that Muslims know about the safety of the body from Holy Quran. So, he decided to travel and meet anatomy Muslim scientists and there he spoke about his discovery of the safety of the mummy after its death in the sea and so on.

One of the Muslim scientists stood up and simply opened Holy Quran and pointed to the Professor at one verse: "We brought the Children of Israel across the sea and Pharaoh and his troops pursued them out of tyranny and enmity. Then, when he was on the point of drowning, he (Pharaoh) said, I believe that there is no god but Him in whom the Children of Israel believe. I am of those who submit (to Allah in Islam). What! Now! And indeed you disobeyed before and you were of the mischief-makers. This day shall We save you in your body, that you may be a Sign to those who come after you! But verily, many among mankind are neglectful of Our Signs." (Holy Quran 10:90-92)

Professor Maurice Bucaille was struck when he read that and immediately stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: "I believe in Islam, I believe in Holy Quran."

Then he went back to France with a different face he traveled with. In France, he dedicated 10 years investigating the scientific discoveries and comparing them with Holy Quran and trying to come up with one scientific contradiction with Holy Quran. Finally he quoted one verse from Holy Quran to be his conclusion:

"No falsehood can approach it (this book) from before or behind it: it is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all praise." (Holy Quran 41:42)

As a result of all years of his research, Professor Maurice Bucaille wrote a book that shook all Europe, especially the scientists there "The Bible, the Quran and Science: The Holy Scriptures Examined in the light of Modern Knowledge."
