Q for our Muslim sisters (or brothers)

Love that you’re interested, thank you for asking! We used to have a user that did Muslim Q&A regularly but she’s gone now unfortunately.

It’s recognized but not celebrated. This is from my recollection, I’m sorry to my fellow Muslims if I’m wrong.

This link should help you:

It’s one of the most referred to stories in the Quran, because it’s a lesson for all mankind. Pharaoh asked Allah for forgiveness right before he died, and he was not forgiven. Allah gave him the opportunity to repent his sins over and over and he denied many times, because of this arrogance and pride. The passage from the Quran is as follows:

“And We brought the Children of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh with his hosts pursued them in rebellion and transgression, till, when the (fate of) drowning overtook him, he exclaimed: I believe that there is no Allah save Him in Whom the Children of Israel believe, and I am of those who surrender (unto Him).” (10:90)

And Allah spoke to him:

“What! Now! When hitherto thou hast rebelled and been of the wrong-doers?” (10:91)

“But this day We save thee in thy body that thou mayst be a portent for those after thee. Lo! most of mankind are heedless of Our portents.” (10:92)

So he preserved the body of Pharaoh for a lesson to all the believers and disbelievers. And the children of Egypt and Israel were freed of the tyrant.

These are the translations I have, but there are more specific ones online. I think Quran.com has some of the best translations that are much clearer. If I can find them I’ll also post the link.

The Quran also quotes when they were saved by Allah from Pharaoh:

“Remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Call in remembrance the favor of God unto you, when He produced prophets among you, made you kings, and gave you what He had not given to any other among the peoples." (5:20)

I hope that answers your questions!! I feel like there’s a bit in regards to the fasting but I’m blanking currently; I wish I had more knowledge to be able to share. And I’m sure others will also be able to give you more information!

Allah knows best.

Thanks!
