Pharaoh while he was drowning: he said i didn't know when i've become a non-muslim!?
it is one of the latest inventions in my mind that causes me to think on what realisation at the last moment pharaoh made this comment. i wanted to share with all to see if you catch up with the same explanation that i'm thinking
i welcome criticism
info: both 'islam' and 'muslim' are generic terms. through out the history of mankind the faith of the believers of 'that there is no God except the Creator Himself' has been generically termed 'islam' and its believers i.e. doers of good deeds have been termed 'muslims'. source: if you go into the arabic text around moses (peace be upon him) in koran you would find moses at least in one place is calling the children of israel, ‘if you're 'muslims' follow the words of the Creator, etc etc.

Pharaoh never was a Muslim, never heard of Islam, didn't submit to anybody, much less God, as Pharaoh was considered a god himself.
Generally speaking "inventions of the mind" are just that.

One the first part is wrong, because the reign of the Pharaohs, died out long before Islam became a religion, so no Pharaoh would have said such a thing. As for the second part, how can i say this without seeming rude, it's incoherent babel, it makes no sense at all. personally what ever your taking give it up, because it's messing with your brain. if English is not your native language, then i would apologise. but if it is and you over 12 years old, then you must be on drugs or something.

Since Islam dates from the 7th Century c.e. there were no Muslims in the time of Moses and the Pharaohs.

Archaeology and history also lean to the idea that the Hebrews, far from being a spiritually aware and civilised kingdom on the border with Israel, were the "Hyskos", a bunch of semi-civilised nomads living in the arid Palestinian desert who periodically raided into Egypt, often in large enough force to draw the Egyptian army into pitched battle. And that far from escaping from Egypt against Pharoah's will and against all the attempts of the Egyptian army to recapture them, the Pharoah was actually expelling them from the Egyptian empire, because he'd had enough of a thieving feuding bunch of travellers living in his kingdom...

AgProv sums it up perfectly. There were no Muslims, there weren't even any monotheists at this time. The Hyksos, like all Semitic peoples of the era were polytheistic, and worshipped the Levantine pantheon, essentially a branch of the Mesopotamian pantheon. They were both nomadic and a pre-literature culture.

Did the Pharaoh of the Exodus Drown in the Red Sea (Exodus 14:28)?
The most conservative scholarship considers that the pharaoh of Egypt at the time of the Exodus (c. 1446 BC) was Amenhotep II (1450-1424 BC). The overwhelming biblical and historical evidence is that he did not die with his army in pursuit of Israel.
In Psalm 136:15, we find that God "overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea." The Hebrew word translated here as "overthrew" is na'ar, also found in Exodus 14:27. It does not mean "to drown" or "to toss or tumble about as in the water" as some have attempted to assert. It simply means "shook off" as is mentioned in the margins of many Bibles and in the Brown, Driver & Briggs Hebrew Lexicon. (Nehemiah 5:13 illustrates how na'ar should be translated: "Then I shook out the fold of my garment. . . .") Therefore, these verses simply say that God shook off the Egyptians, including Pharaoh, from their pursuit of the Israelites. These scriptures say nothing of who was drowned.
In Exodus 14:28, the waters cover "all the army of Pharaoh," but Pharaoh himself is not mentioned. Exodus 15:19 supports this: "For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea upon them." Naturally, the horses and horsemen of Egypt were considered to be Pharaoh's. But this verse does not say that Pharaoh's personal horse, or that Pharaoh himself, drowned in the sea.
This is significant because the death of such an important person would almost certainly have been given special note in the Bible. The Old Testament contains many clear references to the deaths of enemy kings, most of them much less important than this pharaoh. Archaeology proves that Amenhotep II, if he is the Pharaoh of the Exodus, ruled for about 22 more years.

you are being incoherent.
Islam(muslims) did not exist during the time of pharaohs.
as such your entire little ... imagining... is nonsense.
