The Qur’an’s “Pharaoh of Awtad” |
|
The Qur’an describes Pharaoh with the unique title “dhu al-awtad” (of awtād). My analysis of this title shows that it particularly applied to Ramesses II. This title is another significant piece of information in the Qur’an that does not exist in the Old Testament’s narrative of the Exodus.
