like his family, he

France is known for
its unique interest in archeology and heritage. When French Socialist President
François Mitterrand assumed power in 1981, France asked Egypt, late in the
80’s, for the mummy of Egypt’s pharaoh so that it would conduct a string of monumental
and processing experiments.

Actually the body of
Egypt’s most notorious tyrant was transferred to France, and, strangely, the
French president and his ministers as well as senior officials in the country
lined up near the plane carrying the pharaoh’s body and bowed down to him as if
he were still alive !

After the ceremonies
of the royal-like reception to Egypt’s pharaoh were over, the tyrant’s mummy
was carried nearly in the same red carpet reception way he received. Then the
mummy was transferred to a special wing at the French Monuments Center, and
renowned archeologists, surgeons and anatomists started to conduct a study on
this mummy in an attempt to delve into its mysteries.

The senior surgeon and
the scientist in charge of the study on this mummy of the Pharaoh was Professor
Maurice Bucaille. While the processors were busy making restoration to the
mummy, their head (Maurice Bucaille) was thinking otherwise.

Maurice was busy

recovered from the sea and mummified immediately after he drowned. But one of
his company whispered in his ear, saying

At first, he
vehemently rejected this and did not believe it, citing that such a discovery
would be reached only through sophisticated, modern and accurate
computers.

Another one
accompanying him surprised him more when he told him that the Muslims’
Qur’an in which they believe narrates the story that says he drowned and that
his body remained intact even after he drowned.

He got more surprised
and kept on asking” Where did the Muslims’ Qur’an quote these data from while
the mummy was not discovered until 1898, i.e. about 200 years only, given that
the Qur’an has been recited by Muslims for over 1400 years, and given also that
until a few decades ago the entire mankind including Muslims did not know that
the ancient Egyptians had mummified their pharaohs ?

Maurice Bucaille
stayed up all this night gazing at Pharaoh’s body, thinking deeply of what his
fellow researcher told him about the Muslims’ Qur’an explicitly establishing
that this body was recovered after drowning, while the Christians’ Gospel
(Matthew and Luca) narrated only the story of Pharaoh when he was chasing
Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) without mentioning the fate of his body at
all.

“Is it believable that
Muhammad (peace be upon him) knew about this over 1,000 years ago while I have
only just known it?” he thought.

Maurice spent a
sleepless night, and asked for a version of the Torah. But it only furthered
Bucaille’s astonishment; since even Torah did not narrate that the body was
recovered and remained intact due to the processing and restoration, which it
did undergo.

France sent back the
mummy to Egypt in a splendid glass coffin. But, since he knew about the story
circulated by Muslims on the intactness of this body, he decided to pack his
baggage and travel to Saudi Arabia where a medical conference happened to be
held with a galaxy of Muslim anatomists attending.

Our signs.” (Yunus: 92)

Back to France,
Maurice Bucaille spent 10 years conducting a study as to how far the recently
scientific facts match that mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, trying to reassure
himself that the Qur’an has never contradicted with any single scientific fact,
so that he eventually came up with the conclusion that Allah Almighty said of the
Qur’an, “Untruth does not come up to it before (Literally: between its two
hands) it nor from behind it; a successive sending down from (One) Ever-Wise,
Ever-Praiseworthy.”

The book sold out and even
hundreds of thousands of it were translated from French to Arabic, English,
Indonesian, Persian, Turkish and German, extending to include nearly all East
and West bookstores; one has come to see it with any Egyptian, Moroccan or Gulf
person in the US.

The Bible, The Qur’an
and Science, The Holy Scriptures Examined In The Light Of Modern Knowledge was
such a marvelous piece of writing that, in the year 1988, the French Academy
awarded him its prize in history.
