The story of pheron
Pheron mentioned in the Histories by Herodotus, was a king of ancient Egypt. It is probably not his name but the title Pharaoh. Pheron defying the Nile ...
Fir'awn is the Arabic for Pharoah, as used in the Qur’an several times in the narration of the story of Musa (Moses) peace be upon him. Historians have attributed the Pharaoah at the time of Moses to be many people - Merneptah particularly, given that there is the Merneptah Stele which is the only Ancient Egyptian document to mention the Israelites. However, other pharaohs who have been suggested include Ramesses the Great (Ramesses II) because of how the Qur’an states Fir’awn died (I’m using the Yusuf Ali translation):
"This day shall We save thee in the body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! but verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" (Qur’an 10:92)
Ramesses II has been extremely well-preserved:
And as a result of this, many people believe Fir’awn to be him. However, this is speculation - we do not have any concrete evidence to prove the identity of Fir’awn. Personally, if God wanted us to know he would have given us a name, and there’s another verse in the Qur’an that might be worth considering (yes, some may say it’s not relevant because it’s in relation to another affair but what it’s saying is don’t speculate):
(Some) say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; (others) say they were five, the dog being the sixth,- doubtfully guessing at the unknown; (yet others) say they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord knoweth best their number; It is but few that know their (real case)." Enter not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about (the affair of) the Sleepers. (Qur’an 18:22).
Hope that helps!
Musa (AS) - Moses
Moses is Allowed to Leave Egypt
appeared that Pharaoh would never believe in Moses's message, nor would he stop the torture of the children of Israel. Therefore, Moses prayed to his Lord thus: "Our Lord! You have indeed bestowed on Pharaoh and his chiefs splendor and wealth in the life of this world, our Lord! That they may lead men astray from Your Path. Our Lord! Destroy their wealth, and harden their hearts, so that they will not believe until they see the painful torment."
Allah said: "Verily, the invocation of you both is accepted. So you both keep to the Straight Way (i.e. keep on doing good deeds and preaching Allah's Message with patience), and follow not the path of those who know not (the truth i.e. to believe in the Oneness of Allah, and also to believe in the Reward of Allah: Paradise etc.)." Quran Ayah 10:88-89
Allah inspired Moses to conduct his people out of Egypt, but only a few of his people believed in his message. Allah revealed: But none believed in Moses except the offspring of his people, because of the fear of Pharaoh and his chiefs, lest they should persecute them; and verily, Pharaoh was an arrogant tyrant on the earth, he was indeed one of the Musrifeen (polyt heists, sinners and transgressors, those who give up the truth and follow the evil, and commit all kinds of great sins).
