The questioner : Is it true that the body of Pharaoh has remained until now?
The Shaykh : You know that it is a long period, and you know that it is a long period, and that people create something from nothing. Have you not known that the head of al-Husayn is in Najaf, and in Syria, and in Egypt? The owner of three heads—Glorified and Exalted is He—a man who in his life had only one head, and when he died, he came to have three heads. We do not believe in these things. It appears to us that when Pharaoh floated on the surface of the water and the Children of Israel saw him, the matter ended, and the fish ate him, or something similar to that. As for saying that what is found now in the pyramids is Pharaoh, we neither believe nor deny it.
The Shaykh : We are not concerned with the body. We believe the words of Allah whether we see the body or not. Our sign is the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But a sign that you perished was for the Children of Israel, which was terrifying.
