Modern discoveries support the plagues on the Pharaohs in the Holy Quran.
The ancient Egyptian had been monotheistic people; there lived among them many prophets. As time passed they became idol-worshipers as the drawings on their temples show. They even were enforced to worship their kings as the case with Ramses the second, who deified himself and compelled people to worship him.
When God sent Moses to him, he not only rejected following him but even he announced that he is God. He tortured those who followed Moses, especially the Jews. For this reason, God sent many forms of tortures just to make them believe.
According to the Holy Quran, God sent Moses to the Pharos of Egypt at that time. Moses’ call to God was accompanied by many miracles.
The Pharos and a large group of people refused to believe. God sent many plagues on them; each time they were inflicted they asked Moses to pray to God that if He lifted His inflictions, they would believe. But when God lifted His infliction, they continued in their infidelity. So God inflicted on them heavy tortures. These inflictions took many forms.
The Quran relates the events that happened between the Pharaoh and Moses, giving details additional to those found in the Old Testament. What is said about serpents and the prevalence of magic at the time, and Pharaoh’s statement of his divine attribute, tallies with the information about the Pharaoh revealed from the deciphered hieroglyph tablets.
The Holy Quran says in this regard:
We punished the people of Pharaoh with drought, and shortage of crops, that they might take heed. 7-The Purgatory, 130
Also the Holy Quran says in this regard:
133- So We sent on them; the flood, the locusts,
the lice, the frogs and the blood. How many different signs! But they still remained arrogant, for they were a people full of sin.
7-The Purgatory, 133
The Holy Quran also says in this regard:
57- So We expelled them from gardens, springs. 58- Treasures and every kind of honorable position. 59- Thus it was made the children of Israel inheritors of such things.
The Poets, 57-59
IPUWER PAPYRUS , an ancient papyrus, supports the Holy Quran
IPUWER PAPYRUS says:
10: 3-6 Lower Egypt is devastated. The court came to
a standstill. Whatever was stored, wheat, rye, geese and fish, perished. 10: 6-3 Crops wasted everywhere 2: 5-6 Disasters and blood everywhere 2:10 Blood flows in rivers 3: 2 Gold and lapis lazuli, silver and malachite, carnelian and bronze decorate the necks of slaves Ipuwer Papyrus- Leidon 344
The accounts of the Ipuwer Papyrus are perfectly in tune with the Holy Quran account regard the afflictions inflicted on the Ancient Egyptians.
