As we shall see later on, Pharaoh regarded himself as a deity and
responded with slanders and threats to Prophet Musa's (as) calls for
him to believe in Allah. This arrogant attitude lasted until he was
faced with the threat of death through drowning. The Qur'an relates
that Pharaoh immediately turned to belief when faced with Allah's
punishment:We brought the tribe of Israel across the sea, and Pharaoh
and his troops pursued them out of tyranny and enmity. Then, when he
was on the point of drowning, he [Pharaoh] said: "I believe that there
is no god but Him in Whom the tribe of Israel believes. I am one of
the Muslims." (Qur'an, 10:90)
However, this last-minute conversion was not accepted, for it was not
sincere. According to the Qur'an, Allah exclaimed:"What, now! When
previously you rebelled and were one of the corrupters? Today we will
preserve your body so you can be a Sign for people who come after you.
Surely many people are heedless of Our Signs." (Qur'an, 10:91-92)
The information that Pharaoh's corpse would serve as a sign for later
generations may be regarded as an indication that his body would not
decay. On display in the Royal Mummies Chamber of the Egyptian Museum
in Cairo is a mummified body believed to be that of this tyrant. In
all likelihood, Pharaoh's body floated to shore after being drowned,
was found and mummified by the Egyptians, and then carried to a
previously prepared burial chamber.
