Again, you saying that Pharoah was a condemned man, no longer able to become a muslim, after the plagues instituted by Allah of the Muslims began? undecided

2. The plague in Pharoah's case started before the death rattle — his actual drowing incident. Or are we talking of a different death rattle here? undecided

3. You said ealier that it was closed off when the plagues began. Now you are saying it was when he was about to die — drown. Can you pick one please? undecided

. Humble in this case meaning? The last I checked, humble has nothing to do with reading and understanding the content of a book, but you seem to think differently. huh

Anyways, according to you, once Allah of the Muslim's torment begins — in this case, Pharoah's torment began when the plagues started— all doors to becoming a Muslim are closed. Is this the case?
The plagues were only the beginning and were warnings at that point, the painful punishment is the one that finishes off the receiver and guarantees eternal punishment, which in this case is the drowning

The same as Prophet Lut in Sodom and Gomorrah, Prophet Saleh, Prophet Nuh (peace be up on them all)

Allah accepts the repentance of a man so long as the death rattle has not yet reached his throat (Google this)

Repentance was closed off to the pharaoh when he was about to die at the very point of death

I just do not understand why religious folks feel the need to add their own interpretation to what is written in the many books and then insist their ideas are better than what is stated in the book, all while insisting, against facts, that it is in fact what is written in the book. undecided
Maybe you just need to humble yourself and learn from those who know

Huh? So, all the other Egyptians who were caused to die by way of the plagues were all as part of the Pharaoh's torment? And this is how the Allah of the Muslims deals with everyone who is not a Muslim or was this torment particular to the Pharoah? huh

2. Interesting! So what you are insinuating is that even before he drew his last breath, Pharoah had already been condemned to torment by the Allah of the Muslims? Meaning that it did not matter at all that Allah of the Muslims responded(answered) to Pharaoh; even as he died, he remained a non-muslim. Right? undecided

3. Based on this, wouldn't it then mean that Allah of the Muslims responds to the cries of non-Muslims at the point of death even though literally all death-bed confessions— since they are mostly made out of regret—are rejected by Allah of the Muslims? undecided

Why do I get the feeling that you don't even have a clear understanding of the topic itself? Either that or you have no answers, but in a desperate attempt to pretend you know, you feel posting irrelevant links would somehow make the questions go away? How else does one go about explaining the various attempts to derail, abeg? undecided

Pharoah was at the door of death, then he cried out that he now believed and was a Muslim. Then Allah of the Muslims answered pharoah, insisting that Pharoah's corpse would be preserved as an example to others to come after him. Where is it stated that Allah of Muslims rejected Pharoah's last-minute repentance since we are,in fact, being made to believe here that Allah of Muslims responded to Pharoah at the point of his death? If Pharoah was a non-Muslim even up until his last breath, why did the Allah of the Muslims take time out to answer him? huh
God spoke to pharaoh through Moses, He sent Moses to pharaoh

God spoke to Moses directly, He spoke to pharaoh through His Messenger Moses who He spoke to directly

The problem is my overestimating you, I'll be responding to you like I would a baby

Those who God had decreed punishment for, their repentance weren't accepted at the time of punishment:

Chapter 10 Verse 96 - 98

"Indeed, those against whom your Lord’s decree ˹of torment˺ is justified will not believe

even if every sign were to come to them—until they see the painful punishment.

If only there had been a society which believed ˹before seeing the torment˺ and, therefore, benefited from its belief, like the people of Jonah. When they believed, We lifted from them the torment of disgrace in this world and allowed them enjoyment for a while."

From the above it's clear that 'belief' only benefits before the decreed punishment begins

Furthermore:

Chapter 4 verse 18

"However, repentance is not accepted from those who knowingly persist in sin until they start dying, and then cry, “Now I repent!” nor those who die as disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment."

Here the Quran speaks of the exact situation in which pharaoh found himself. He had many chances to repent or believe prior to his last moment, but stubbornly refused. We are judged by what we do of our own free will, but at the moment of death it isn’t truly free will because the person sees their own lack of choice in the matter (of death), so that situation “pressured” them to repent or have faith. Death had come to him, and until the last moment he was chasing after Musa (Moses) and his people with intent to kill them. So this about-face occurred only under the duress and undeniable knowledge that occurs when one sees death just before the moment of death itself, barely enough time to have made his statement.

Is this some sort of attempt to deviate from the main topic or what? 😏

My questions were specific in this case. Where does your Quran make this statement that the Allah of the Muslims rejected Pharoah's request for repentance even though the Allah of the Muslims answered Pharoah during his last hours? Or where is it stated that last-minute requests of the kind offered by the Pharoah are rejected by the Allah of the Muslims? Where? undecided
1) You have comprehension issues

2) Read from the link

3) When you actually read up on Qur'an then we can debate, as for now, I can only tutor you since you know nothing

4) On what basis are you questioning my assertions, your poor grasp of a clear English translation? I'm not responsible for you not being able comprehend a straightforwardly worded verse of the Qur'an

5) If you'll not educate yourself from at the very least, the link I provided you, then you have only your time to waste

You are allowed to believe what you wish of the book; that is not the concern here at all. undecided

2. The fact that the verses quoted suggest that the Allah of the Muslims answered directly to the Pharaoh character implies that the Pharaoh's last-minute prayer was answered by the Allah of the Muslims. So, your insistence that the Pharoah's claim of believing was rejected by the Allah of the Muslims would require some additional support, should it not? undecided

3. The Allah of the Muslims knew this, yet he chose to directly answer the Pharoah still. Come on now! lipsrsealed

1. He sought to save himself, but how? The verse does not imply or say any of that, though. So why conclude this to have been the case? undecided

2. Up until what point? Please, be exact. Can you include a reference to other statements that could support this claim that it was not the case with this Pharaoh dude that was mentioned? undecided

3. My problem so far is not with what is stated in the verse but the assertions that have been made so far regarding what is presented in those verse. Almost seems you two are reading from other sources at this point. So, where is this other source? undecided

4. Where does your Quran make this statement that you claim? Where? huh
The verse is contained in a Chapter called Yunus i.e. the 10th Chapter of the Qur'an and it has 109 verses in it

It details the in many verses the story of Moses and Pharaoh and the verse in question is part of a series of verses. If you want the full gist, read the Chapter

The story of Moses and the pharaoh is the most detailed and most mentioned story in the entire Qur'an and it has many verses in many Chapters detailing it

The status of pharaoh and his place with God is clear all across the Qur'an...the OP picked the least ambiguous story in the entire Qur'an to try to misreprent due to his ignorance

So what you are saying is that deathbed confessions/attempts at repentance are invalid in Islam? undecided

Curiously, last-minute regrets and attempts at repentance are very commonplace. There were probably many before Pharoah who also attempted to repent before their death. If Islam rejected all of their attempts as you claim, why the mention of this supposed attempt at repentance by Pharoah, then? I mean, this particular claim made in Islam comes well over 2000 years after the actual death of Pharoah. To what end? undecided
Qur'an is the direct word of God, this is God stating that He rejected pharaoh's claim of believing in Him

God being the One who knows all things, knew pharaoh's motivations were phony and He rejected it...only God knows actual intentions and a person who genuinely repents is known by God, vis-a-vis someone who is insincere
Christianity Etc › Re: Pharaoh Was A Muslim by IMEI: 5:39pm On Mar 12, 2025
Kobojunkie:
⚈He was trying to repent, or he repented right before taking his last breath? I mean, why would a person make such a statement right before death if he did not in fact mean it?
⚈Also, does repenting just as one is about to die not qualify one to be considered a Muslim? Are deathbed confessions/decisions not considered valid in Islam? undecided
1. Nope he wasn't repentant, he was on the verge of drowning and sought to save himself that's why he said what he said. This was after he(pharaoh) was given numerous opportunities to repent

2. Accepting Islam on one's deathbed is valid up until a certain point, that wasn't the case with pharaoh

3. Like was pointed out, the verses are self explanatory...the verse after pharaoh claims to believe, his 'profession of faith' was rejected and he was made an example for future generations. That's expressly clear

4. The Qur'an makes it abundantly clear that pharaoh stands completely condemned to God's punishment. In fact, no one is more condemned in the Qur'an than the pharaoh, so this extremely stupid attempt at misrepresenting Qur'an is idiotic
