"Is Pharaoh's body present in Egypt, or did God cause the earth to swallow him up in the sea? "
"Allah, the Exalted, saved Moses and the Children of Israel from Pharaoh by splitting the sea for them, so they crossed safely, and then drowned Pharaoh and his troops. Allah brought out Pharaoh's body intact to serve as a sign to the Children of Israel of his death. After Pharaoh's demise, those who remained in Egypt busied themselves with fortifying their homes out of fear of invasion, and they were ruled by a woman named Delouka. Researchers have differed in identifying the personality of Moses' Pharaoh, but all their statements are mere speculations, as there is no indication in ancient Egyptian relics about the Pharaoh of Moses or his story with the Children of Israel."
