Quran: The book of Signs (Firaun Ramesses II)


Firaun (Pharaoh) Ramesses II
Quran, the words of Allah which was sent down to mankind as Hidhayath. The book which contains no flaws, no mistakes and not even a phrase which a person could make so. The book which contains the ultimate guidance from Allah. But how many of us give the respect it needs. Has anyone actually spent time in seeing what the Quran actually talks about. It could simply amaze the person reading it. The following article is based on the true story of how Allah has set an example of the greatest dictator that ever lived on earth and how he made it known to us, a generation which came thousands of years later.
It all began when the mummy of Firaun (Pharaoh) Ramesses II was tested by a team of archeological and anatomical scientists from France to find the mystery of his death.
With the project headed by Professor Maurice Bucaille, his main concern was how the mummy had died. After thorough survey of the body, the final report released stated that the salt content found in the lungs of the mummy is an overt evidence that he (Firaun) was drawn in the sea, and the body was rescued very shortly where it was immediately embalmed and mummified to be saved.
What amazed and confused Professor Maurice was how this body could possibly be safer and much more preserved than any other mummy, despite being taken out of the sea. Up until then, Professor Maurice was writing his final report on what he thought would be a new discovery about preservation and embalming of Pharaoh's body immediately after his death. During his research someone pointed to him that Muslims claim to know something about the drowning of this particular mummy. Yet the Professor firmly denied this story 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 "Qur'an" as a Gods Revelation and that this book narrates the story of Pharaoh's drowning and that God would ensure the safety of his body after his death as to be a Sign to mankind to come!
The Professor couldn't believe his own ears and started to wonder where the Muslims' Qu'ran quote these data from while the mummy was not discovered until 1898 AD, i.e. about 200 years only, given that the Qu'ran has been recited by Muslims for over 1400 years, and given also that until a few decades ago the entire mankind including Muslims did not know that the ancient Egyptians had mummified their pharaohs?!.

The Professor couldn't sleep that night till they brought him the Bible Old Testament where he read: "the sea drowned Pharaoh and his army, no one else was left alive" He was surprised that the Holy Book didn't mention about the destiny of the body and how and why the body was preserved. When the scientists were done with the mummy it was moved to Egypt, but Professor Maurice couldn't rest for a moment since he was told that Muslims knew why and how the body was preserved until now. Looking for answers, he traveled and met Muslim scientists and told them about his discovery of how Firaun had died.

One of the Muslim scientists stood up and simply opened the Quran and pointed to the Professor at one verse:
"So this day We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to those who come after you! But verily, many among mankind are neglectful of Our Signs" (Quran 10:92)
The Professor was struck when he read that and immediately stood in front of the crowd and said loudly: "I have converted to Islam and believed in this Qu'ran"
Then he went back to France with a completely different face he had when he left for answers.
In France, he dedicated 10 years investigating the scientific discoveries and comparing them with the Quran and trying to come up with one scientific contradiction with the Quran, but he found none. Finally he quoted one verse from the 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"
(Quran 41:42)
As a result of all years of his research, Professor Maurice wrote a book that shook all Europe, especially the scientists there; "The Bible, The Qur'an and Science" (Ebook: http://www.kalamullah.com/Books/BibleQuranScience.pdf)
All copies were sold out in a short period of time. Currently the mummy is preserved in the Cairo Museum, for the whole world to see, just as mentioned in the Quran! Thousands of people visit the Museum everyday and say: "Woow, look at that! Amazing! So nice to see ancient people", without realizing the intended lesson that Allah has kept this body for. It was none other than a Sign from Allah to those who believe. 
The Quran, true to its word, some 2700 years after Firaun (lanathullah) was destroyed by 
Allah.
