Pharaoh and Haman:

The following article was sent to brother Matthew Smith (Yusuf); may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him.

Subject: Answer to "Pharaoh and Haman" problem

As-Salaamu 'Alaikum,

I was just reading through your site and I noticed that your response to the "problem" of supposed historical compressions in the Qur'an consist of a stock response. I just thought I'd add a reply to the section on "Pharaoh and Haman":

Most of the queries on Jochen Katz's site consist of wholly specious claims based on distortion or ignorance of Arabic. This, however, needs closer examination by experts, as it has the power to confuse ignorant Muslims. (For this reason, I discourage Muslims I find trying to debate with Christians in the Speakers Corner in London, as they may well succeed in inspiring doubt in people about their deen (religion). On the other hand, getting people out of Islam is a very different proposition from persuading them of the "truth" of Christianity, and if truth isn't with Islam, then there is no truth in the world. In any case, the proofs for the Qur'an are so numerous that these small matters cannot stand up to them.)

The "historical compression" Katz alleges is in fact in his imagination alone. In various articles on his site he alleges that "Haman" was not an Egyptian name (or at least, doesn't appear in books of ancient Egyptian names); that a character by this name appears in the Biblical book of Esther, as a Persian politician at King Xerxes' court who was an enemy of the Jews; that the tower Haman built (or was asked to build) for Pharaoh has never been dug up by archaeologists; and that Egyptians didn't use "burnt bricks" until Roman times; that the tower reaching the sky was a confusion with the Tower of Babel.

Answer to problems 1 & 2: Haman may have been Persian for all Katz (or anyone else) knows! And just because a character appears in one place doesn't mean someone by the same name appears in the other. Or perhaps Haman was a nickname.

Problem 3: a tower that high wouldn't be archaeologists' business. Ruins and foundations get dug up, not towers reaching to the sky. The reason it isn't there today is either because it never got built (there is no evidence in the Qur'an that it did actually get built), or because it fell down, perhaps in an earthquake, and the bricks used for other purposes.

Problem 4: As for "burnt bricks", the Qur'an does refer to using a fire, but surely that was for baking bricks in a kiln? The Israelites were, according to Exodus, used by the Egyptians as slaves to make bricks.

Problem 5: The confusion with Babel is his invention. The tower of Babel was only 23 meters high! Hardly "reaching to the Heavens"; it probably just seemed that way to the people who saw it. Again, just because something happens in one era doesn't mean it can't happen in another!

Katz seems to assume that the Qur'an, when it claims to "confirm that which went before it", means it necessarily agrees with everything written in the scriptures then available to the people of the Book. In fact what contradicts the Bible is in fact in correction, and by no means demolishes the Qur'an's claim. If the current scriptures were sufficient guidance, there would have been no need for the Qur'an!

Wa Salaat wa Salaam 'ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallam.

Ma'a Salaama,

Yusuf

Quran's STUNNING Divine Miracles: [1]
 

Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind.  For example:
  

1-  The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran.  Yet, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran.  See detailed listing here.


Coincidence?  See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).

Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

Stunning Prophecies [2] [3]

 

2-  Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for 950 years.  Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters.  You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.

3-  Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
  
       -  Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1].
       -  Is rotating around itself.
       -  Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2].
       -  Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
  

"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
  
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day.  NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its
trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode).  It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.

 

Coincidence?  See 1,000s of examples [1].Quran's Stunning Numerical & Scientific Miracles.

  
Islam also thoroughly rejects as man-made lies the Trinity and Crucifixion [2].  Jesus was also thoroughly called slave of GOD [1] in both the OT and NT.


Quran:  All Bibles are mostly of corrupt [1] قول   (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed).  See also the 39+ members of trinity.  Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.

  

John 5:30  "I cannot do anything on my own."  (i.e., Jesus could not perform a single Miracle without GOD sending it down to him first!).  I can not perform a single Miracle on my own!!  I am totally POWERLESS without Allah Almighty!
  

John 5:31  "if I (Jesus) bear witness of myself, then I would be a liar!" 

GOD didn't talk this way when He spoke to Moses.  GOD's testimony alone is always sufficient!  Jesus also bowed his face down to the ground, like we Muslims  (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more";    ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40)  Muslims do everyday, and prayed to GOD Almighty.
