          It is incredible, ununderstandable that with all the things that according to Egypt haters happenned in Egyp or with Egypt to the the peoples, that not even once a great river is mentionned let alone a single time de word Nile, which would be quite conclusivee.

          26.52ownards

          Instead of it we have springs, not fountains, no, real springs, rivers in plural, and that country with all those things is given to the banu Israil take it over and live in it. And historians unaware of it, and even the bible, the dear old bible, unaware of it.

          And supposed believers in the Qur'an fighting hard to uphold those truths and being ever so shocked that it should even be doubted.

          Not only is Egypt full of little currents and rivers and springs and is a banana kingdom here the king has to send some guys to get a band to pursue the evaders because it has no army, no police no regular forces of any kind and has to recruit some for the occassion, but also shortly it is going to be taken over by the gang of evaders.

          But what can one say? Who came first comes first, and the first to come has been the bible and the bible rules. Even against the very bible.

          Salaam

            I recall his article saying that Misr means a settlement or a small town. There is no specific country called Misr. There were many Misr at that time.

            Present day "Egypt" used to be called "Gypt" in old times. Egypt is a twisted form of "Gypt".

                As per his research, is not the ruler of Egypt but chief of a certain township (Misr).

                  Thanks. But did he explain by what argument he thought Mulk means a township instead of a kingdom or country.

                  I hope it is not bothering you.

                    Not at all Mazhar Bhai. He did not say Mulk means township but he translated Mulk as control or rule of Misr- a township.

                      You please advise whether Possessive Phrase , which is subject noun of and Prepositional Phrase is about elided predicate, could be taken as the Ruler of Misr.

                        Lets take translation of 4351 from your web site

                        Know this fact, Fir'aoun/Pharaoh circulated proclamation/address within his Nation, he said,

                        "O my countrymen/nation, is the state/dominion of Misr not for me, and these streams of water are flowing by my side/underneath ?

                        Will you people still not see/focus ?

                        The meaning of dominion

                        dominion

                        ExamplesWord Origin
                        See more synonyms for dominion on Thesaurus.com
                        noun
                        the power or right of governing and controlling; sovereign authority.
                        rule; control; domination.
                        a territory, usually of considerable size, in which a single rulership holds sway.

                        So means power of governing and controlling of Misr...the township.

                        I do not see issue with but with "Misr" translated as Egypt. Pizazu has done extensive research and his findings are worth understanding.

                          bearing in mind that the people of Musa in their wandering seemed to be having with them plenty of cows, we must remember the extensive pastures all over the Sinai peninsula for them to graze to their satisfaction.

                          Deserts are famous for cows pastures aren't they?

                            That was the reason I gave in brackets the sense of the word dominion.

                            Thanks, your insights on his work have clarified to me what is his view point, reading with First part given by Huruf

                            The Israelites, led by Msa (P), fled Mir (a prominent walled citadel in ancient Yemen), at night. This is the essence of isr' (the departure from a place in secrecy, without attracting attention). It was not until after Far?awn realized the Israelites had left, that he gathered a party of hunters from the nearby villages, and launched a full pursuit of what he called ?a small band?. Would the great kings of Egypt, who lived in huge palaces with an army ready at their call, prepared to take on rival empires at any time, need to send callers to nearby villages to organize a search party? Would Ramses, Merneptah or Imhotep, personally take it upon themselves to chase a small band across the wilderness of Egypt?

                            Has he said something about this

                            http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.Arabic%20Text/028.%20Al%20Qasas/28.06b.gif

                            Does he take Jundohum groups of villagers and who is Haman.

                              Thank brother Mazhar. I guess you should read his articles and see what he has researched. I do not remember every word he wrote because I read his article long time ago. Below is the link if you want read it

                                  Novice thanks.

                                  I downloaded his work.

                                  After talking at great length about the Book of Mormon (https//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Mormon) he talks about (seems imaginative) a survey about two photographs 3 and 4 calling second which he calls an Arabian as probable Pharaoh.

                                  Interestingly the photograph 4 can not even be considered of a man of Hijaz with that big turban and heavy dress. In peninsula of Arabia one cannot think of putting such heavy turban on head in scorching temperature.

                                  Then he discusses about the origin of name Misr by borrowing hundred percent from a paper already on internet because I found it in my folder on Root Misr, exactly as he has written.

                                  Please reflect on this para of him

                                  //This is why, in the entire text of the Qur?n, we do not come across any mention of the
                                  term Far?awn either before or after Msa?s time. The proof is evident by reading Surah
                                  12 of the Qur?n, which recounts the story of the prophet Ysuf (P). Allah?s book - which
                                  99% of the Muslims have thrown behind their backs - tells us that the title of the ruler of
                                  the place called Mir during Ysuf?s time was al-malik (the king or supreme authority),
                                  while his subordinate was given the title of al-?azeez (meaning ?one who had high status
                                  or power?, or something of the sort). There is no mention of Far?awn anywhere in the
                                  account of Ysuf (P), even though it is presumed that he lived, at most, some 150 years
                                  before Msa ?s time.//

                                  Yusuf alahissalam along with his father, mother, brothers and their families are admitted to have settled in Misr. By the passing of time they turned into Bani Israel. And demand from Firaun was to let Bani Israeel go with Musa alahissalam.

                                  He naively forgot or overlooked this speech

                                  It is Chapter 40

                                    Brother Mazhar as I recall his research shows that scene of Misr was southern Arabian Peninsula around Yemen area. Turbans are still worn in that area. Please google Sultan Qaboos and see how he looks in his pictures.

                                    Then he discusses about the origin of name Misr by borrowing hundred percent from a paper already on internet because I found it in my folder on Root Misr, exactly as he has written.

                                    I cannot speak on his behalf. So I dont know if he borrowed from some other research paper.

                                    Yusuf alahissalam along with his father, mother, brothers and their families are admitted to have settled in Misr. By the passing of time they turned into Bani Israel. And demand from Firaun was to let Bani Israeel go with Musa alahissalam.

                                    Does Quran confirms this statement? If not how it is admitted and by whom?

                                    He naively forgot or overlooked this speech

                                    It is Chapter 40

                                    Sorry brother I could not see how it confirms that Prophet Yusuf was in Egypt.

                                      And haw many gates were there to enter Egypt and how far one from another?

                                      And he said O my sons! Go not in by one gate; go in by different gates. I can naught avail you as against Allah. Lo! the decision rests with Allah only. In Him do I put my trust, and in Him let all the trusting put their trust. (67)

                                        Brother Mazhar as I recall his research shows that scene of Misr was southern Arabian Peninsula around Yemen area. Turbans are still worn in that area. Please google Sultan Qaboos and see how he looks in his pictures.

                                        I cannot speak on his behalf. So I dont know if he borrowed from some other research paper.

                                        Does Quran confirms this statement? If not how it is admitted and by whom?

                                        Sorry brother I could not see how it confirms that Prophet Yusuf was in Egypt.

                                        No, it is not to say that. Only the point that Misr is the same place where the Ruler is mentioned by Malik in the days of Yusuf alahissalam and the same Misr is the place where Firaun was mentioned as the Ruler in the days of Musa alahissalm.

                                        So the title of the Ruler is different in the same Misr in two periods of history.

                                        We will later see in Qur'aan that this Misr is the same Misr of today, also called Egypt.

                                          Bible, yes bible ?ber alles.

                                          Never mind, what the Qur'an says, what the Qur'an does not say, the bible says, that is the en dof it.
                                          Egypt is called Misr. Please reproduce here the earliest quotation in Arabic referring to Egypt with such a name and without any great river let alone Nile.

                                          Misr in arabic has a meaning and a meaning that is applied more specifically today to Cairo, and only by extension to the whole of Egypt but in fact it refers to Cairo, mainly by people, because main city is called misr or rather masr.

                                          But there was no masr in ancient Egypt.

                                          Bible, bible ?ber alles and don with Qur'an. My God.
