    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".

    Grateful. But why he missed Pharaoh claiming

      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.

              Salaam

                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.

                          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.

                            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)

                              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.

                                Salaam

                                  There are few assumptions here namely

                                  Misr is the name of a place....whereas Misr is an Arabic word from root with the meaning "a partition between two things.

                                  Firaun is a title and not a name.....background is that pharaoh was the title of rulers of Egypt. Is Firaun=Pharaoh?

                                    Misr is the name of a place....whereas Misr is an Arabic word from root with the meaning "a partition between two things.

                                    Firaun is a title and not a name.....background is that pharaoh was the title of rulers of Egypt. Is Firaun=Pharaoh?

                                    No assumptions. In a book which says it is explicitly explicit, it cant leave things for assumptions.

                                    ? (

                                    That it is name for any any land with defined boundaries and walled.

                                    Lane Lexicon The area between two things. A partition or a barrier or thing intervening between two things. Limit or boundary between two lands.

                                    In Qur'aan it is stated as a walled locality/city by mentioning entrance/door(s). So it is a place where people lived.

                                    One is particularized by reference to a person referred as Fir'auan.

                                    Both are diptotes showing as if both are of non-Arabic origin.

                                    We will see in Qur'aan who was he and where was he living. It is whether Name or Title that will make little difference in identifying him since subjects of a king know more his title than the personal name.

                                    It will be very poor for us if we cannot identify a person whose name or title is second to one Noun by count of mention in Qur'aan in the word category of Proper Nouns,

                                    There must be something especial and unique to this King, than all the kings who preceded him in history, that in the category of Proper Nouns his Name finds mention maximum number of times (74) only less than the elevated Messenger Musa alahissalam whose name finds mention 136 times.

                                      Thank you Mazhar. I love to learn the truth so waiting to see how you conclude Misr=Egypt.

                                        Thank you Mazhar. I love to learn the truth so waiting to see how you conclude Misr=Egypt.

                                        I will try to restrict strictly to academic rules and principles of studying a book without preconceived notions and influences of the works done earlier on the subject.
                                        No assumptions, no far fetched inferences, no insertion of meanings different than the Lexicons, and no lessening of semantics of a word; e.g. Form-V or Form VIII must not be translated by equating with basic form.
                                        Each word in the original text is a pearl embedded at its proper place - it can't be substituted with another Arabic word to render it in English.
                                        Elisions in source text nor anaphora resolution will be overlooked. Allah the Exalted so willing.

                                        I will need your help for scrutiny and insights.

                                          Thank you. I am just a student taking every opportunity to learn, I will in sha'a Allah pitch in what Allah has shown me so far.
