Pharaoh’s Dream 
1. Pharaoh’s dream 
Pharaoh once dreamt that a fire appeared from Bayt-ul- 
Muqaddas, which surrounded the whole Egypt and 
burnt all the Copts1 to ashes. But Israelites remained 
unharmed by the fire. Pharaoh was deeply upset to 
have seen such a bizarre dream. He then asked the 
astrologers to interpret the dream, to which they 
predicted, ‘A boy will be born in Banī Isrāīl who will 
cause the fall of your kingdom.’ Upon listening to 
this, he gave the order to kill every newborn Israelite 
infant boy. Thus, following the order of Pharaoh, 
twelve or seventy thousand (infant) boys were killed. 
(Tafsīr-e-Khāzin, vol. 1, pp. 52)

1 The native people of Egypt
Pharaoh’s Dream 
What was the real name of Pharaoh? 
Dear Madanī children! In ancient times, the king of 
Egypt was called Pharaoh, similarly, the king of Rome, 
Qayṣar, the king of Iran, Kisrā, the king of Yemen, 
Tuba, the king of Turkey, Khāqān, and the king of 
Ḥabshaĥ/Africa was called Najjāshī. Among all 
Pharaohs of Egypt, the Pharaoh at the time of Sayyidunā 
Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was the most ill-mannered, 
stone-hearted, and cruellest. His name was Walīd Ibn 
Muṣ’ab Bin Rayyān and he belonged to the Coptic 
Tribe. The name of Pharaoh at the time of Sayyidunā 
Yūsuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَا م was Rayyān Bin Walīd who became a 
believer. 
There is a time span of more than 400 years between 
Pharaohs at the times of Sayyidunā Yūsuf and 
Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ . عَـ لَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام

When the time of Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ’s عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام 
birth arrived, a midwife appointed by Pharaoh for the 
women of Banī Isrāīl came to his mother . عَـلَيْ هَا رَ حمةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن 
When Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was born, the rays of 
Nūr (light) were radiating from between his eyes. As 
the midwife saw the rays, she started trembling from 
head to toe and she felt great affection for Sayyidunā 
Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام . The midwife said to his 
mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَحْمَ ةُ ا لـ رحْمٰن , ‘I purposely came here to kill the 
newborn if it is a baby boy, but now I feel deep 
affection for your child. Hide your child from the 
spies of Pharaoh.’ Having said this much, she left. 
When the Pharaoh’s spies saw the midwife coming 
from the house of Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام , they 
reached the door. Maryam, the sister of Sayyidunā
Pharaoh’s Dream 
Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام , informed her mother of 
the spies. Sayyidunā Mūsā’s mother عَـلَ يْـ هَا رَ حمةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن could 
not understand the situation in a hurry. Nervously, 
she wrapped the child in a cloth and put him into a 
burning clay oven. The Pharaoh’s spies entered the 
house. They searched high and low but could not find 
any child. They did not even turn their attention to 
the clay oven and went away. The mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَ حمةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن 
took a sigh of relief, mean while she heard the sound 
of soft crying coming from the clay oven. Upon 
seeing, she found that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ had made the fire 
pleasantly cool and peaceful for the little child (i.e. 
Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام ). She then took him out of 
the clay oven, safe and sound. 
(Tafsīr Baghawī, vol. 3, pp. 373)

The carpenter became dumb
Pharaoh’s Dream 
3. The carpenter became dumb 
Sayyidunā Mūsā’s mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَحْمَ ةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن went to a 
carpenter to buy a wooden box. He asked: ‘What will 
you do with the wooden box.’ She told him the truth 
that she wanted to place her child in the box and put 
it into the river to possibly save him from the Pharaoh’s 
men. Although the carpenter sold a wooden box to 
her, he later changed his mind with an evil intention. 
In order to inform about the newborn, he went to the 
Pharaoh’s merciless executers who were appointed to 
kill the infant boys of Banī Isrāīl. When he approached 
them, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ locked his tongue; he used gestures 
to make them understand but the king’s men beat 
him (considering him as an insane) and forced him 
to flee. By the time he returned home, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ 
unlocked his tongue. He again went to the Pharaoh’s 
men to inform them, but he was dumb over again! 
6
Pharaoh’s Dream 
He used gestures, but they beat him again (considering 
him as an insane). When he returned home, his 
tongue became unlocked. The third time when he 
reached the Pharaoh’s men to inform them, he was 
made dumb and went blind too. Beaten, he was 
made to run away. Due to this, he sincerely repented 
and said: ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَ ل ! If you just restore my vision 
and unlock my tongue this time, I will not inform 
anyone about that newborn infant boy (i.e. Sayyidunā 
Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام ). Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ accepted his repentance 
and his faculties of sight and speech were restored. 
(ibid) 
We would rather not listen, see or speak ill of 
anybody! 
Dear Madanī children! The above parable taught us 
that a bad intention always brings an unfortunate 
7
Pharaoh’s Dream 
outcome; we also learnt that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is All-Powerful 
to save us from enemies. We also came to know that 
bad intentions cause troubles and the troubles, if 
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ wants, are removed upon showing sincere 
repentance for bad intentions. You should therefore 
become good children, make up your mind as ‘we 
should rather not listen, see or speak ill of any Muslim’. 
Ĥum to burā kisī kā daykĥayn sunayn na bolayn 
Achcĥī ĥī bāt bolayn jab zabān kĥolayn 
It means that we must avoid seeing the fault of any 
Muslim. If known to us, we must not let anybody 
know about it. If someone tells us, we must not listen 
to it as well. We should only mention good of every 
Muslim within the stipulations of Sharī’aĥ.

From the waves of the river to 
the lap of the mother
Pharaoh’s Dream 
4. From the waves of the river to the lap of the 
mother 
Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was born during 
the time when new born baby boys of the Banī Isrāīl 
were being brutally killed on the Pharaoh’s order. 
His mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَ حمةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن placed him in a wooden box 
and put it into the River Nile due to fear of Pharaoh. 
(According to a narration, she hid him for four 
months.) A canal from the River Nile flowed near the 
Pharaoh’s palace; the box floating down the River Nile 
entered the canal. Pharaoh and his wife Bībī ‘Āsiyaĥ 
اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَنْهَا 3 رََِ (who had her belief in Sayyidunā Mūsā 
Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام later on) were sitting in the palace 
and enjoying themselves with the beautiful sight of 
the canal. When they saw the box floating down, 
they ordered the servants to bring it to them. When 
the box was opened, a very beautiful baby boy was 
9

found inside. Both Pharaoh and his wife Bībī ‘Āsiyaĥ 
اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَنْهَا 3 رََِ had a feeling of love for the infant! Bibī 
‘Āsiyaĥ اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَنْهَا 3 رََِ said to Pharaoh:

“This child is the comfort of my eyes and yours; do not 
kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt 
him as our son” - and they were unaware. 
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)] 
(Part 20, Sūraĥ Al-Qaṣaṣ, verse 9) 
They adopted the child. Since Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام 
was just an infant, they looked for a wet nurse for 
him but Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام would not nurse any

woman. On the other hand, the mother of Sayyidunā 
Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was much worried about 
the condition and where abouts of her little child. At 
last, she sent ‘Maryam’, the sister of Sayyidunā Mūsā 
عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام to the Pharaoh’s palace to gather some 
information. When Maryam saw that the little child 
was not suckling, she said to Pharaoh: “I shall bring 
a woman, perhaps the baby will start nursing.” 
Thus, Maryam took the mother of Sayyidunā Mūsā 
Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام to the Pharaoh’s palace, and the 
moment she started nursing the baby, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام 
began to suckle. Hence, the mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَحْمَ ةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن of 
Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was reunited with her 
separated son!

Dear Madanī children! The names of Sayyidunā 
Mūsā’s mother and father were Yuĥānz and ‘Imrān 
respectively. The above mentioned faith-refreshing 
parable taught us that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does as He wants. 
Pharaoh had thousands of children killed for fear 
of a child. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ put the same child in the care 
of Pharaoh for upbringing! We also came to know 
that if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ wants to protect anyone, he 
remains unharmed even in the strong tides of the 
river, as He عَزَّوَجَلَّ took Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام from 
the tides of the River Nile and put him into the lap 
of his mother .عَـلَيْهَا رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن

The Pharaoh’s sick daughter
Pharaoh’s Dream 
5. The Pharaoh’s sick daughter 
It is narrated that Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ’s 
mother عَـلَيْهَا رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن floated him in a box in the River 
Nile. Pharaoh had an only daughter who was very 
dear to him; she was suffering from Leukoderma1. 
Pharaoh sought the advice of his best physicians and 
magicians on the disease, and they said: ‘O king! This 
disease can only be cured when the saliva of a human 
who is found in the river is applied on the infected 
areas; this is only possible in such and such month 
and the day with intense sunlight. 
When the day came, Pharaoh held his assembly by 
the bank of the river along with his wife Sayyidatunā 
Bībī ‘Āsiyaĥ اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَنْهَا 3 .رََِ 
1 Leukoderma is also called vitiligo, a disease which causes the appearance of 
white patches on the body and fingers etc, in severe cases the swollen parts of 
body go numb and start falling off. 
13
Pharaoh’s Dream 
A canal from the River Nile flowed by the Pharaoh’s 
palace. Suddenly, there appeared a box bobbing on 
the river waves, it stopped near a tree. Pharaoh ordered 
to bring the box to him quickly. His servants rushed 
towards the box in a boat and the box was presented 
to Pharaoh. The servants tried to open the box but 
failed. They even tried to break it open but it was all in 
vain. The Pharaoh’s wife saw shining Nūr (light) which 
was not visible to others. When she tried to open the 
box, it easily opened. She saw a little baby boy in the 
box and the Nūr was shining from between his eyes. 
Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ instilled love for the baby boy in their hearts. 
When Pharaoh’s daughter took the baby’s saliva and 
applied it on the infected parts of her body, she was 
immediately cured. She then hugged the child with 
love. Some people said to Pharaoh, ‘We are in doubt 
about this child; it may be the same baby boy who 
14
Pharaoh’s Dream 
might have been put into the river out of fear of his 
killing. Pharaoh made up his mind to kill the child 
after listening to them. But Sayyidatunā ‘Āsiyaĥ 
اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَنْهَا 3 رََِ succeeded in persuading Pharaoh and she 
adopted the baby. (Tafsīr-e-Kabīr, vol. 7, pp. 580) 
Four causes of bad end 
It is stated in Sharḥ-us-Ṣudūr that there are four 
causes of bad end: 
1. Laziness in offering Ṣalāĥ 
2. Consuming alcohol 
3. Disobedience to parents 
4. Causing harm to Muslims 
(Sharḥ-us-Ṣudūr, pp. 27, Dār-ul-Kutub-ul-‘Ilmiyyaĥ, Beirut)

  • 14. Pharaoh’s Dream 1. Pharaoh’s dream Pharaoh once dreamt that a fire appeared from Bayt-ul- Muqaddas, which surrounded the whole Egypt and burnt all the Copts1 to ashes. But Israelites remained unharmed by the fire. Pharaoh was deeply upset to have seen such a bizarre dream. He then asked the astrologers to interpret the dream, to which they predicted, ‘A boy will be born in Banī Isrāīl who will cause the fall of your kingdom.’ Upon listening to this, he gave the order to kill every newborn Israelite infant boy. Thus, following the order of Pharaoh, twelve or seventy thousand (infant) boys were killed. (Tafsīr-e-Khāzin, vol. 1, pp. 52) 2 1 The native people of Egypt
  • 15. Pharaoh’s Dream What was the real name of Pharaoh? Dear Madanī children! In ancient times, the king of Egypt was called Pharaoh, similarly, the king of Rome, Qayṣar, the king of Iran, Kisrā, the king of Yemen, Tuba, the king of Turkey, Khāqān, and the king of Ḥabshaĥ/Africa was called Najjāshī. Among all Pharaohs of Egypt, the Pharaoh at the time of Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was the most ill-mannered, stone-hearted, and cruellest. His name was Walīd Ibn Muṣ’ab Bin Rayyān and he belonged to the Coptic Tribe. The name of Pharaoh at the time of Sayyidunā Yūsuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَا م was Rayyān Bin Walīd who became a believer. There is a time span of more than 400 years between Pharaohs at the times of Sayyidunā Yūsuf and Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ . عَـ لَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام 3

As the midwife saw the rays, she started trembling from head to toe and she felt great affection for Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام . The midwife said to his mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَحْمَ ةُ ا لـ رحْمٰن , ‘I purposely came here to kill the newborn if it is a baby boy, but now I feel deep affection for your child. Hide your child from the spies of Pharaoh.’ Having said this much, she left. When the Pharaoh’s spies saw the midwife coming from the house of Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام , they reached the door. Maryam, the sister of Sayyidunā

Sayyidunā Mūsā’s mother عَـلَ يْـ هَا رَ حمةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن could not understand the situation in a hurry. Nervously, she wrapped the child in a cloth and put him into a burning clay oven. The Pharaoh’s spies entered the house. They searched high and low but could not find any child. They did not even turn their attention to the clay oven and went away. The mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَ حمةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن took a sigh of relief, mean while she heard the sound of soft crying coming from the clay oven. Upon seeing, she found that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ had made the fire pleasantly cool and peaceful for the little child (i.e. Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام ). She then took him out of the clay oven, safe and sound. (Tafsīr Baghawī, vol. 3, pp. 373) 5
  • 20. Pharaoh’s Dream 3. The carpenter became dumb Sayyidunā Mūsā’s mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَحْمَ ةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن went to a carpenter to buy a wooden box. He asked: ‘What will you do with the wooden box.’ She told him the truth that she wanted to place her child in the box and put it into the river to possibly save him from the Pharaoh’s men. Although the carpenter sold a wooden box to her, he later changed his mind with an evil intention. In order to inform about the newborn, he went to the Pharaoh’s merciless executers who were appointed to kill the infant boys of Banī Isrāīl. When he approached them, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ locked his tongue; he used gestures to make them understand but the king’s men beat him (considering him as an insane) and forced him to flee. By the time he returned home, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ unlocked his tongue. He again went to the Pharaoh’s men to inform them, but he was dumb over again! 6
  • 21. Pharaoh’s Dream He used gestures, but they beat him again (considering him as an insane). When he returned home, his tongue became unlocked. The third time when he reached the Pharaoh’s men to inform them, he was made dumb and went blind too. Beaten, he was made to run away. Due to this, he sincerely repented and said: ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَ ل ! If you just restore my vision and unlock my tongue this time, I will not inform anyone about that newborn infant boy (i.e. Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام ). Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ accepted his repentance and his faculties of sight and speech were restored. (ibid) We would rather not listen, see or speak ill of anybody! Dear Madanī children! The above parable taught us that a bad intention always brings an unfortunate 7
  • 22. Pharaoh’s Dream outcome; we also learnt that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is All-Powerful to save us from enemies. We also came to know that bad intentions cause troubles and the troubles, if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ wants, are removed upon showing sincere repentance for bad intentions. You should therefore become good children, make up your mind as ‘we should rather not listen, see or speak ill of any Muslim’. Ĥum to burā kisī kā daykĥayn sunayn na bolayn Achcĥī ĥī bāt bolayn jab zabān kĥolayn It means that we must avoid seeing the fault of any Muslim. If known to us, we must not let anybody know about it. If someone tells us, we must not listen to it as well. We should only mention good of every Muslim within the stipulations of Sharī’aĥ. َ+ 0 1 َُ 8 ' ا * ََ( ا )ۡ ا / َ+ , - . َٰ( ٰ 34َ5َ

His mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَ حمةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن placed him in a wooden box and put it into the River Nile due to fear of Pharaoh. (According to a narration, she hid him for four months.) A canal from the River Nile flowed near the Pharaoh’s palace; the box floating down the River Nile entered the canal. Pharaoh and his wife Bībī ‘Āsiyaĥ اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَنْهَا 3 رََِ (who had her belief in Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام later on) were sitting in the palace and enjoying themselves with the beautiful sight of the canal.

At last, she sent ‘Maryam’, the sister of Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام to the Pharaoh’s palace to gather some information. When Maryam saw that the little child was not suckling, she said to Pharaoh: “I shall bring a woman, perhaps the baby will start nursing.” Thus, Maryam took the mother of Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام to the Pharaoh’s palace, and the moment she started nursing the baby, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام began to suckle. Hence, the mother عَـلَيْ هَا رَحْمَ ةُ ا ل ـ رحْمٰن of Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was reunited with her separated son! 11 (‘Ajāib-ul-Quran, pp. 171)

The above mentioned faith-refreshing parable taught us that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ does as He wants. Pharaoh had thousands of children killed for fear of a child. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ put the same child in the care of Pharaoh for upbringing! We also came to know that if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ wants to protect anyone, he remains unharmed even in the strong tides of the river, as He عَزَّوَجَلَّ took Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام from the tides of the River Nile and put him into the lap of his mother .عَـلَيْهَا رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن Tū nay kis shān say Mūsā kī bachāī ĥay jān Tayrī qudrat pay mayn qurbān Khudā-e-Raḥmān ' ا * ََ( ا )ۡ ا / َ+ , - . َٰ( ٰ 34َ5َ

Pharaoh had an only daughter who was very dear to him; she was suffering from Leukoderma1. Pharaoh sought the advice of his best physicians and magicians on the disease, and they said: ‘O king! This disease can only be cured when the saliva of a human who is found in the river is applied on the infected areas; this is only possible in such and such month and the day with intense sunlight. When the day came, Pharaoh held his assembly by the bank of the river along with his wife Sayyidatunā Bībī ‘Āsiyaĥ اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَنْهَا 3 .رََِ 1 Leukoderma is also called vitiligo, a disease which causes the appearance of white patches on the body and fingers etc, in severe cases the swollen parts of body go numb and start falling off. 13
  • 38. Pharaoh’s Dream A canal from the River Nile flowed by the Pharaoh’s palace. Suddenly, there appeared a box bobbing on the river waves, it stopped near a tree. Pharaoh ordered to bring the box to him quickly. His servants rushed towards the box in a boat and the box was presented to Pharaoh. The servants tried to open the box but failed. They even tried to break it open but it was all in vain. The Pharaoh’s wife saw shining Nūr (light) which was not visible to others. When she tried to open the box, it easily opened. She saw a little baby boy in the box and the Nūr was shining from between his eyes. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ instilled love for the baby boy in their hearts. When Pharaoh’s daughter took the baby’s saliva and applied it on the infected parts of her body, she was immediately cured. She then hugged the child with love. Some people said to Pharaoh, ‘We are in doubt about this child; it may be the same baby boy who 14

But Sayyidatunā ‘Āsiyaĥ اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَنْهَا 3 رََِ succeeded in persuading Pharaoh and she adopted the baby. (Tafsīr-e-Kabīr, vol. 7, pp. 580) Four causes of bad end It is stated in Sharḥ-us-Ṣudūr that there are four causes of bad end: 1. Laziness in offering Ṣalāĥ 2. Consuming alcohol 3. Disobedience to parents 4. Causing harm to Muslims (Sharḥ-us-Ṣudūr, pp. 27, Dār-ul-Kutub-ul-‘Ilmiyyaĥ, Beirut) 15

All of a sudden, Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام hit him on the head with the stick! After being hit, Pharaoh thought deeply and at last he made up his mind to murder him. Bibī ‘Āsiyaĥ اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَنْهَا 3 رََِ said: ‘O king! Do not become angry and nor make yourself ill-fated, for he is just a little child. If you want, you can test him. I will put gold and an ember on a plate before the child. See, which one he picks up! Pharaoh liked the idea. When Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام stretched out his hand for the gold an angel took his hand to the coal which he immediately put into his mouth. When it burned his tongue badly, he spat it out instantly. Hence, Pharaoh changed his mind and 16

If you say yes, then wait! Read the harms caused by such fizzy soft drinks and then make a decision that is favourable for you in this world as well as in the hereafter. Sweetener is the main ingredient of soft drinks. It is extracted either from sugar or saccharin, a white artificial sweetener that is 300 to 500 times
  • 48. Pharaoh’s Dream sweeter than sugar. The soft drinks sweetened with sugar have a large amount of sugar. ‘There are about seven tea spoons of sugar in a 250 ml soft drink bottle.’ (Faizān-e-Sunnat, vol. 1, pp. 712) These sugary soft drinks lead to harms and decay of the teeth and bones, and due to higher levels of sugar in the blood, chances to catch heart and skin diseases become greater with obesity. Saccharine-containing edibles and cancer A U.S. Department F.D.A. (food and drug administration) received thousands of complaints about foods that contain saccharine. According to researchers, the increase of cancer in Americans is due to the excessive use of edibles which contain saccharin. Therefore, it has been banned in many countries. The use of saccharin is also reported to cause bladder cancer. 20
  • 49. Pharaoh’s Dream Decay of teeth amongst people addicted to soft drinks Soft drinks are harmful for human health whether they contain sugar or are sugar-free. According to a survey of children’s teeth conducted in 1992 in Britain, it was revealed that the tooth enamel of twenty per cent of children who were fond of soft drinks (i.e. every 5th child) had been decayed. An experiment was carried out on rats and they were fed with soft drinks. Consequently, their teeth became decayed within six months. In another experiment, a human tooth was kept in a bottle full of a ‘cola drink’ which became soft and crumbly. Soft drinks destroy digestive system One of the ingredients of soft drinks is phosphoric acid which is generally used to remove rust from 21

Soft drinks contain harmful gas The harmful gas called carbon dioxide is also mixed in soft drinks which creates those bubbles. We do enjoy having cold drinks but these bubbles contain the very harmful and poisonous gas that we breathe out; so taking this dangerous gas into the body through cold drinks is extremely unnatural and harmful. Winner of a soda drinking contest lost his life In India, there was once held a soda drinking competition. A contestant who drank 8 bottles won the competition, but unfortunately died a while later! 22
  • 51. Pharaoh’s Dream It was reported that the excessive amounts of carbon dioxide which was accumulated in his body caused his death. Soft drinks and six types of cancer Blackish beverages (cola types) have caffeine which first energizes the body but later creates laziness. Unnecessary and excessive use of caffeine causes weak memory and rising anger, irregular heartbeat, and high blood pressure. Furthermore, it develops stomach ulcer. In addition, in born defects have been observed amongst the children whose parents are fond of soft drinks. (for instance, a child with a frail body, and a child with madness or blindness or a child with disability in any of his/her limbs, etc.) There is a very serious concern about the use of cold drinks which 23
  • 52. Pharaoh’s Dream causes six types of cancerous diseases, out of which the number of stomach and bladder cancer reaches an all-time high. The children who drink lots of soft drinks excrete more calcium from their body. (The deficiency of calcium is very harmful to bones, etc.) Uneasiness and respiratory problems In order to preserve soft drinks, ‘sulphur oxide’ or ‘sodium benzoic acid’ is mixed. Both these chemicals cause breathing problems, skin irritation and uneasiness. In addition, synthetic colours which have their own harmful effects are also mixed with soft drinks.

  • 53. Pharaoh’s Dream Sugar is a sweet poison Sugar is used all over the world. A human body requires a reasonable amount of sugar, which is usually fulfilled from consuming wheat, rice, vegetables and fruits, etc. It is not necessary to consume white sugar or desserts, to meet such requirements. However, the patients suffering from low blood-sugar (hypoglycaemia) need to use sugar as per their doctor’s advice. According to a basic principle, the excessive use of anything is harmful. Nowadays, the use of sugar is indeed excessive. It is being poured into the human bodies through unnecessary edibles. For instance, the use of sweet items such as soft drinks, ice-creams, sherbet, confectioneries, sweets, candies and desserts are not really foods, but these are rather taken as refreshment. Eating all such items is tantamount to digging one’s own grave. The greatest 25
  • 54. Pharaoh’s Dream harm of using excessive sugar is that it increases the amount of insulin in the blood, stopping the growth of the ‘pituitary gland’ [i.e. the hormones that control the growth and development of your body], due to which the immune system of the body becomes weak. Insulin enhances the ability to store fat in the body which increases body weight and results in obesity. Harms of sugar When ‘refined sugar’ is produced from sugar cane, all the important nutrition that it contains are separated, which is needed by the human body such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes, etc. It is therefore said that whatever we use as sugar contains nothing healthy, rather it destroys our digestive system. Hence, the white sugar which is usually available in the markets has no benefit with regard to nourishing food but 26
  • 55. Pharaoh’s Dream diabetologists consider it as a fuel to cancer. If a list of diseases is compiled that are developed by sugar directly or indirectly, it will be pretty long. Sugar weakens the immune system of the human body, due to which one may suffer from every sort of disease. It disturbs the level of salts, causes tooth decay, greys the hair and causes headache, and it also increases cholesterol. The excessive use of sugar means that you simply stop vitamin C to enter into the white cells of your blood and in this way you are weakening your immune system by yourself. KKK 27
