        "summary": "The article recounts the Quranic story of Pharaoh's final moments, where he attempted to declare faith as he drowned but was prevented by Angel Jibril, who stuffed his mouth with sand to stop him from receiving divine mercy. According to hadiths cited, Jibril acted out of fear that Pharaoh's last-minute repentance would lead to his salvation. This narrative underscores the Islamic teaching on divine justice and the consequences of persistent tyranny.",
        "content": "<p>The story of Pharaoh appears in various verses of the Quran. The\nruler of Egypt during the time of Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) was\na tyrant, oppressive, and cruel, even boastfully claiming to be a god.\nPharaoh, who oppressed the Children of Israel, was punished by Allah,\nperishing along with his army when they drowned in the Red Sea while\npursuing Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and his followers. In his\nfinal moments, Pharaoh attempted to declare his faith, saying, \u2018I\nbelieve there is no god except the one believed in by the Children of\nIsrael.\u2019 However, before he could complete the declaration of faith, his\nmouth was filled with sand by the Angel Jibril. This fact is mentioned\nin a hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as narrated by\nal-Tirmidzi from Ibn Abbas, where the Prophet recounted Pharaoh\u2019s story\nto his companions. \u2018When Allah drowned Pharaoh, he said, \u201cI believe\nthere is no god except the one believed in by the Children of Israel\u201d\n(as stated in Surah Yunus, verse 90 \u2013 Ed).\u2019 Then, the Angel Jibril came\nto the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, \u2018O Muhammad, if only you\nhad seen me! At that moment, I took black sand from the seabed and\nplaced it in Pharaoh\u2019s mouth, for I feared he would receive divine mercy\ndue to his declaration of faith.\u2019 Another narration states: \u2018The Angel\nJibril placed sand in Pharaoh\u2019s mouth out of fear that he would utter\n\u201cLa ilaha illa Allah\u201d or that Allah would show him mercy.\u2019<\/p>",
