Showing 5 Miracles

Pharaoh's Death and the Weeping of Skies

The Quran's rejection of an ancient Egyptian belief about the sky weeping when Pharaohs die was confirmed 1200 years later through the discovery of the Pyramid Texts.

Did You Know?

The Pyramid Texts, discovered in the 19th century, revealed that ancient Egyptians believed the sky and earth wept when Pharaohs died - a pagan belief that the Quran specifically rejected 1200 years before these texts were discovered.

The Pyramid Texts Miracle

The Quran accurately described ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and practices that were unknown to the world until the discovery of the Pyramid Texts in the 19th century.

Did You Know?

The Pyramid Texts revealed detailed information about ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, including their concept of divinity and afterlife, which the Quran had accurately referenced and refuted centuries before these texts were discovered.

Haman - The Construction Official

The Quran identifies Haman as Pharaoh's construction official - verified by hieroglyphics decoded 1,200 years later.

Did You Know?

The Quran uniquely describes Haman as a construction official under Pharaoh (28:38, 40:36-37), asking him to build a tower. Critics claimed this was a mistake, confusing the Biblical Haman from Persia. However, in the 19th century, hieroglyphic inscriptions were decoded revealing 'Haman' as the 'Head of Stone Quarry Workers' under Ramesses II.

Iram - The City of Pillars

The Quran mentions the lost city of Iram with its lofty pillars - discovered by archaeologists in 1992.

Did You Know?

The Quran mentions 'Iram, who had lofty pillars, the like of which were not produced in all the land' (89:7-8). This city was considered legendary until 1992 when NASA satellite imaging and ground excavations discovered Ubar (ancient Iram) in Oman, featuring distinctive large pillars.

Pharaoh's Body Preservation

The Quran declared Pharaoh's body would be preserved as a sign - his mummy was discovered in 1881.

Did You Know?

The Quran states that after Pharaoh drowned, Allah said 'Today We will preserve your body so you may be a sign for those who come after you' (10:92). In 1881, Ramesses II's mummy was discovered in excellent condition, and in 1898, Merneptah's mummy (another candidate for the Exodus Pharaoh) was found with salt crystals in the body - evidence of drowning in seawater.
