Is the Pharaoh whom Allah drowned currently in the museums, citing the verse?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, the Pharaoh whom Allah drowned.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The Pharaoh whom Allah drowned.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : Pharaoh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : The one whom Allah drowned; they say that he is present in the antiquities.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : And that they visit him for a fee, and I think it is written under his name "Ramses II," and they say that this is the one whom Allah drowned in the sea and that Allah made him a lesson for those after him, and they cite the verse.
The Shaykh : And what is it?
The questioner : And it is: "We will make you a lesson for those who come after you."
The Shaykh : This is a verse from you; read the verse?
The questioner :[Yunus 10:92].
The Shaykh : Yes, who are those who came after him?
The Children of Israel, because Pharaoh terrified the Children of Israel, disturbed their sleep, and terrified their hearts. If they had not seen his body destroyed, they would have given him every consideration and said, "Perhaps he was saved." But when they saw it with their own eyes, with the certainty of the eye, they were assured of it. Do you think that Pharaoh would remain with his body, and the Children of Israel would inherit his land and make him a museum exhibit?
The questioner : People say.
The Shaykh : I am not telling you what people say; I am asking you logically: is this possible?
If they had been able to get hold of his body, they would have cut it into pieces. And all of this is a lie. But unfortunately, now the Islamic state celebrates or takes pride in Pharaoh, claiming that he is the Pharaoh of Musa (peace be upon him). They take pride in him!
The questioner : Yes, and they visit him, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And similar to that in some respects is the pride of the Christians in the cross on which 'Isa (peace be upon him) was crucified after he was killed. If the Christians had any sense, when they saw the cross, what would they do?
They would break it. But ignorance... the important thing is that you must believe that this man is not the Pharaoh of Musa, but it is possible that he is a Pharaoh among the Pharaohs, or that it is a statue made by hand.
We ask Allah to protect us and you from Pharaoh and his people, and his path, and to guide our companions to what is in it of good and righteousness.

So today We will save you in body that you may be to those who succeed you a sign
فاليوم ننجّيك ببدنك لتكون لمن خلفك آيةThe Shaykh : Yes, who are those who came after him?
