DOES AL QUR'AN CONTRADITETH THE EGYPTOLOGICAL DISCOVERY THAT

BAKED BRICKS WERE UNKNOWN


DURING THE TIME OF PHAROAH OF EXODUS.
A NUMBER of anti Islamic objection makers say that Egyptian only know the
unbaked mud bricks and Qur'an
contraditeth this fact, hence it is an error in Quran.
SEE VERSE 28:38
Pharaoh said: "O Haman! {Kindle for me <a fire>}TO BAKE THE
CLAY/MUD;and set up for me a lofty tower
(Arabic: Sarhan, lofty tower or palace) in order that I may mount up to the
DEITY of Moses:
and varily, I <do> think HE (Moses) is one of the liars!" [Qur'an 28:38].
One may see the text of the Arabic Divine Scripture Himself , and consult a
reliable translation himself, if he
have some doubts about this translation.
It MUST NECESSARILY BE NOTED :a]HA:MA:N was one of his audience, and he did speak to him personally.
b] No such building /tower was made.
To combat Qur'anic Truth is argument is presented in several forms and
menifestations. This objection is discussed
and refuted in the correct perspective.
Before discussing the problem let the proper concept of the TERM
CONTRADICTION BE DISCUSSED properly.
Contradictions is the negation of an statement.
Consider a proposition '' A is B'' . Its contradiction/ negation is '' A is Not B''
Consider a statement with a quantifier.
'' All A is B'' . Its contradiction is '' Some A is not B''.
Similarly if it is said , '' Some A is B''. Its contradiction /Negation is '' No A is
B''.

A formula type contradiction of any staement '' C'' is:It is false that C
WHAT AL QUR'AN HATH SAID IS NOT CONTRADICTED BY ANY
ARCHEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE.
If it is accepted that archeological evidences contradict AL
QUR'AN , THEN THE WORD
CONTRADICTION must be in its proper sense.
If Qur'an reporteth:
<Pharoah said "A" > OR <Pharoah did say ''A''>, A PROPER
CONTRADICTION /NEGATION IS
<< PHAROAH DID NOT SAY ''A''>>.
In more strict form statements like
<Pharoah is one that/who said ''A''> or <Pharoah is one that/ who
did say ''A''> IS CONTRADICTED BY
<<Pharoah is one that/who did not say ''A''>> .This is the negation
in the second part. How ever a negation
in the first part is:- PHAROAH IS NOT THE ONE THAT/WHO
SAID/<DID SAY > ''A''.
A formula type negation / contradiction is:It is false that Pharoah is the one that/who said/<did say> A.
Such a negation may be considered as a compound statement:<<<< Pharoah is NOT the one that/who said/ <did say> '' A"

OR

Pharoah is the one that/who did NOT say ''A'' OR BOTH


etc.>>>>
KNOWING different of the types of negation and contradiction
<of a complex statement>,

there is no Heiroglyphic
or non hieroglyphic writing which contradictas Al Qur'an in any
proper sense.
Only it can be said that Egyptological research shews that
Egyptian did not use BAKED BRICKS
, and did use mud bricks inthe time of Exodus.
All the research stops at this point. AL QURAN CONTRADICTETH
NOT this research.
Qur'an only saith that Pharoah of Exodus ordered HA:MA:N to
make a Pillar or A Tower
Baked Bricks.
Qur,an never saith that pharoah's order were carried out. So their
is no contradiction at all
since building, no structure,no tower, no pillar etc was ever made
in the history of Egypt
at the time of Exodus or prior to it.
An interpellation does arrise that if Egyptians did not know how to
build a structure by baking
bricks , then how did Pharoah said so.
The answer may be given as follow:The Pregnant Mind of the imprecated Pharoah concieved the idea
to build a tower or a
pillar by baked bricks.
This can be responded as follow:
It is impossible of the mind of Pharoah to concieve the idea to
make a Tower or a Pillar

by baked Bricks.
To claim that It is Impossible and Incontingint that the mind of
Pharoah could concieve
a very NEW idea, unknown to other Egyptians is a claim which
cannot be proved.
It is impossible to prove the impossibility of conception of a New
Idea in general and
this idea mentioned above in particular by secular Egyptology.
Atmost Egyptology can say that Backed Bricks were never used in
ancient Egypt.
Quran saith not that baked brick were used so that a proper
contradiction occureth.
Qur'an only saith that it was a sugggestion, and if a very new or
strange idea was
concieved in the
Pharoah's mind , it has nothing to do with excavations and
Egyptology.
Even if it is assumed that Pharoah's mind was so barren that it
was impossible to concieve
a very new idea, and so Qur'an is incorrect, even then this alleged
impossibility in the mind of
Pharoah is not a problem of Egyptology, but of SUBJECTS LIKE
Deductive Logic
or Mathematical Logic or Psychology or Philosophy or Theology.
Such a contradiction cannot be found in any possible text found in
excavations.
This extenuates the alleged power of the objection ti its minimun.

Any how if it is assumed that "it was impossible and incontingint


for the mind of the Pharoah
of Exodus to concieve this new idea unless and other wise he
was informed that bricks
can be baked" even then it is not a problem of Egyptology but
any one of the subjects stated above.
This is the point that should be noted.
To intercede between Egyptology and any one of the subject
stated above it may be the case
that through some human channels Pharoah might have got some
information about baked bricks
, and at that moment of time he might wanted a very new type of
tower/pillar that may be
a unique sign of his presumed victory over The Great Phrophet
Moses <<May the Peeace
of God Be Upon Moses>>; a victory of which this Pharoah was so
certain due to his disbelieve
in the True God Of Great Prophet Moses <<May the Peace Of God
Be Upon Him>> .
As the problem has left the domain of Egyptology AND HAS
transported to some other
subjects,
the ALLEGED Contradiction between Qur'a:n and Egyptology
ceaseth once for all.
CONCLUSION::QURAN doeth not say that '' There were baked bricks during the
time of Great Prophet
Moses <<Peace Be Upon Him>>, and there are evedences of

unbaked bricks ONLY


during the time of Pharoah of Exodus In Egypt , SO there is no
contradiction between the two.
Al Qur'an never Stateteth that the order of Pharoah was carried
out and a mega structure of
baked bricks was made.
NOTE:An OTHER interpellation may be raised that if such an new idea
was some how concieved
in the
mind of Pharoah , them why he was not refuted by those who were
asked to make such a tower
/pillar <IN PARTICULAR BY HA:MA:N> . They/he could say as
follow:
""Your Highness we/I do/does not kow how to bake bricks, there
fore we/I cannot carry on your
orders.""
But one again this problem is not of the excavations.
It may be said that they did fear Pharoah atleast to an extent to
contradict him directly, OR HONOUR
him so much that they/he did not refute him immediately;
and might be wating for a proper time to inform him respectfully
that they/he did not
know how to bake
bricks therefore it is impossible to carry on his orders.
