As Salam a`alaman itab`alhoda
I received this amazing email, thought to transalte it and share it with all of u.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1981, during the rule of the late French President Francois Mitterrand, France requested from Egypt to host the Mummy of Egypt's Pharoe to undertake various archeological tests and treatment.
The body of the most famous tyrant known to Egypt was shipped. A formal arrival protocol was performed for the body upon its arrival, with the President together with the ministers and senior state officials waiting at the airport just as if he was still alive.
As if he is still screaming to the Egyptians (I am your high lord).
As the royal reception protocols ended, the tyrant's mummy was taken to a special suit in the French Archeology center where prominent scientists and surgeons began to study and explore secrets of the mummy. The primary responsible in this study was Professor Maurice Beaucee.
Scientists working on the treatment of the mummy were basically interested in the restoration of the mummy, while their leader Beaucee was mainly concerned about something totally different. He was concerned to discover how the Pharaoh died. Very late that night, his final results came out. The salt residue remaining in the body is evident enough that he drowned and that the body was taken out of the water immediately, after which they accelerated the mummification of the body. However, there was still something puzzling to Beaucee. Why especially this mummy apart of the other mummies remained in a better shape regardless the fact that it was taken out of the sea.
Maurice Beaucee was preparing a final report around what he saw as a new discovery, which according to him, was the rescue of the body and its immediate mummification. At that moment someone told him don't rush things, Muslims have remarks about the drowning of this mummy.
Beaucee strongly disagreed with the news. Such discovery can only be made through modern science and technology using highly advanced computer generations. Someone told him that the Quran which Muslims believe in talks about the story of the drowning of the king after which the body remained in good shape. He grew even more astonished and kept questioning how this could happen when the mummy was discovered in 1898 only two hundred years ago. Whereas the Quran existed since 1400 years? How this may adjust with the rational? Since mankind and not only Arabs were absolutely unaware of the mummification process. It was only found out a few decades ago.
Maurice Beaucee spent his night looking at the mummy thinking deeply about what his friend told him that the Quran talks about the rescue of this body while the holy book (Mathew and Luke) highlights only the drowning of the Pharaoh while chasing Mussa Peace be upon him without any reference to the destiny of the body. He told himself: Is it possible that this mummy could be Egypt's Pharoe who chased Mussa? Is it rational that their Mohamed knew this before more than a thousand years, and I just found this out? Maurice could not sleep at all that night. He requested to have a Torah. He started reading "the water regressed and covered all the carriages and cavaliers of the Pharos's army who went after them into the sea, only one remained". Maurice Beaucee remained uncertain, even the Bible did not highlight the rescue of this body which remained in perfect shape after treatment and restoration.
France sent the mummy back to Egypt in a glass box adequate to the rank of the Pharos. But Maurice was not satisfied nor was he calm since he was shocked with the information he learnt. He packed himself and took a trip to Saudi Arabia to attend a medical conference where a gathering of Muslim dissection scientists were attending. The first point Beaucee raised was his discovery about the rescue of Pharos body after drowning. One of them stood up and opened the Quran reading the Ayah:"
So this day We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to those who come after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)." (Quran 10:92). The Ayah had a significant impact on him due to which he was taken so much that he stood before the participants saying loudly: " I embraced Islam and believe in this Quran"
Maurice Beaucee went back to France with a different face. He continued working for 10 years doing nothing but studying the compatibility of scientific facts recently found with Quran in an effort to identify just one contradiction with Quran. He made the following conclusion " So this day We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to those who come after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)." (Quran 41:43). The fruit of the long years the French Maurice spent was to author a book about Quran that shook all the Western countries along with the scientists. The title of the book was (Quran, Torah, Bible and Science... A Study of the holy books in light of the modern knowledge). What was the impact of this book? The book went out of sale from all book stores. Thousand copies were reprinted after its translation to various languages. Most Arab men living in the USA used it to convince their wives to be about Islam.
A number of Jewish and Christian scholars who reject the light tried to answer this book. They did not find but feeble arguments to make whispered to them by the devil. Last trial was by Dr. William Cambl in his book titled (Quran and Bible in light of History and Science). He covered a wide range of topics unable at the end to bear any fruit.
More amazingly, a number of scientists started preparing a reply to the book. Some of them just after an in-depth reading of the book took Shahada and embraced Islam. Alhamdulelah who only due to His bounty good deeds are completed.
Maurice Beaucee in the introduction of his book is saying:" Such scientific aspects included in the Quran raised my astonishment at the beginning. I could never think that such huge number of facts related to diversified topics could be easily found to be fully compatible with modern scientific knowledge. The most important issue is that the text that contained these facts is revealed since more than 13 centuries ago. We can not find a comment on this Photonic matter except Allah's saying: " Do they not then consider the Qur’ân carefully? Had it been from other than Allâh, they would surely have found therein many a contradiction." (Quran 4:82).
True in the name of Allah, if it was from another source but Allah, the saying of " So this day We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to those who come after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)." It was a Divine sign manifested in the body of Pharon. This sign which revived Islam in the heart of Maurice.
Who is Maurice Beaucee? He is a French prominent figure born from French parents and grew up just like his family as Christian. As he completed his high school, he enrolled into School of Medicine in the University of France. He was on of the top students until he graduated and developed in his career until he became one of the most prominent surgeons known in France.
