In the Quran and Islamic tradition, the title "Pharaoh" (Firaun) specifically refers to the tyrannical king of Egypt who opposed Prophet Musa (A.S) and claimed divinity. The Quran narrates his story extensively, including his drowning in the Red Sea while pursuing the Israelites. His body was preserved as a sign for later generations, as mentioned in Surah Yunus (10:92).
The Pharaoh is mentioned numerous times in the Quran, particularly in Surah Al-Qasas, Surah Taha, and Surah Al-A'raf. He is known for his arrogance and claim of being the supreme god, saying "Ana rabbukumul a'la" (I am your lord, most high). His wife, Asiya (R.A), is revered in Islam as one of the four greatest women of Paradise for her faith despite being married to the worst tyrant.
