The miraculous nature of prophetic news
0:10
What is meant by the miraculous nature of prophetic news
0:15
The miraculous nature of the Noble Qur'an in its news of unseen matters
0:20
Whether this unseen pertains to the past or the future
0:25
Either in this world or concerning the Hereafter and the Resurrection
0:30
Among the examples of future unseen matters
0:33
The Qur'an's news that the Romans would overcome the Persians within a few years, after the Persians had initially overcome them
0:40
Allah Almighty says:
0:42
"The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land, but they, from after their defeat, will overcome."
0:48
"within a few years."
0:50
“Within ten years - Allah's is the command in the former case and in the latter - and in that day believers will rejoice” (30:4)
0:54
"And that day the believers will rejoice"
0:58
And the matter occurred exactly as the Qur'an informed
1:01
And the Romans triumphed within a few years.
1:04
And among the examples of past unseen matters whose future became apparent
1:09
is the Qur'an's news that the body of Pharaoh would be preserved from oblivion after his drowning.
1:15
Allah Almighty says:
1:17
“But this day We save thee in thy body that thou mayst be a portent for those after thee. Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our portents.” (10:92)
1:22
“But this day We save thee in thy body that thou mayst be a portent for those after thee. Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our portents.” (10:92)
1:27
And the mummy of Pharaoh of Moses was discovered
1:30
in the year 1898 CE.
1:35
at the hands of the Western archaeologist, Loret.
1:39
And it was proven to be his body
1:41
by the traces of salt found on the mummy, resulting from the sea water.
1:47
And it is now preserved in the Cairo Museum,
1:50
where visitors can see it.
1:53
And among other examples of past unseen matters
1:57
is that the Noble Qur'an named the king of Egypt during the time of Joseph, peace be upon him, as "the king."
2:03
Allah Almighty says:
2:05
“And the king said: Lo! I saw in a dream seven fat kine which seven lean were eating, and seven green ears of corn and other (seven) dry. O notables! Expound for me my vision, if ye can interpret dreams.” (12:43)
2:12
And it did not call him Pharaoh.
2:15
This is because those who ruled Egypt during the time of Joseph, peace be upon him,
2:20
were the Hyksos,
2:22
who were Arabs from southern Syria.
2:25
And Arabs call their ruler "king."
2:28
When Ahmose expelled them later,
2:31
and restored rule to the Egyptians,
2:34
the ruler of Egypt was then called Pharaoh,
2:37
which is the title of the ruler in the language of the ancient Egyptians,
2:41
Hieroglyphic.
2:43
Likewise, the Qur'an named Pharaoh's minister responsible for construction and development, Haman.
2:50
Allah Almighty says:
2:52
“And Pharaoh said: O Haman! Build for me a tower that haply I may reach the roads,” (40:36)
2:58
And the hieroglyphic script was deciphered
3:01
in the year 1799 CE.
3:06
Then it was found written in the ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions discovered in Egyptian antiquities
3:13
the name Haman,
3:15
and the nature of his work was mentioned,
3:17
that he was the chief of the stone workers.
