Fir'awn
فرعونDefinition
Pharaoh — the title of the tyrant king of Egypt who enslaved the Children of Israel and claimed divinity, declaring 'I am your lord, most high.' His story is the Quran's primary case study of political tyranny, and his drowning in the Red Sea is one of the most dramatically narrated events in scripture.
As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
