The story of Musa (Moses) includes his interaction with the ruler of Egypt, called Pharaoh (Arabic: فرعون, romanized: Fir'awn). The earlier story of Yusuf (Joseph) refers to the Egyptian ruler as a king (Arabic: ملك, romanized: Malik). The story of Pharaoh is revealed in various passages throughout the Qur'an. He is first mentioned in Q2:49: ۝Remember when we delivered you from the people of Pharaoh, who grievously oppressed you, they slew your male children, and let your females live: Therein was a great trial from your Lord. In the Qur'an, Pharaoh drowned, but God said that he preserved the pharaoh's body as an example for generations to come (or made an example for coming generations). Pharaoh is last mentioned in 89:10.
