Maurice Bucaille

(born July 19, 1920-1998) in Pont-L'Eveque, France; son of

Maurice and Marie (James) Bucaille was a French medical
doctor, member of the French Society of Egyptology, and
author. Bucaille practiced medicine from 1945-82 and was a
specialist in gastroenterology. In 1973, Bucaille was appointed
family physician to King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. Other of his
patients at the time included members of the family of
President Anwar Sadat of Egypt.In 1976, while still in the
service of the king, he published his book, The Bible, The
Qur'an and Science which argued that the Qur`an contains no
statements contradicting establishes scientific fact. In 1991,
another book by Bucaille, Mummies of the Pharaos: Modern
Medical Investigations, was published in English.

Moses and Pharaoh of the Exodus

Dr. Maurice Bucaille, after a thorough research proved that
although Rameses II was known to have persecuted the
Israelites as per the Bible, he actually died while Moses (pbuh)
was taking refuge in Median.In 1898, the mummified body of
Merneptah was found in the valley of Kings in Egypt. In 1975,
Dr. Maurice Bucaille with other doctors received permission
to examine the Mummy of Merneptah, the findings of which
proved that Merneptah probably died from drowning or a
violent shock which immediately preceeded the moment of
drowning. Thus the Qur`anic verse that we shall save his body
as a sign, has been fulfilled by the Pharaohs` body being kept
at the Royal Mummies room in the Egyptian Museum in
Cairo.

This verse of the Qur`an compelled Dr. Maurice Bucaille, who

was a Christian then, to study the Qur`an. He later wrote a
book "The Bible, the Qur`an and Science", and confessed that
the author of the Qur`an can be no one else besides God
Himself. Thus he embraced Islam.

The story of Moses (pbuh) and the Pharaoh

of the Exodus are very much identical in the
Qur`an and the Bible. Both scriptures agree
that the Pharaoh drowned when he tried to
pursue Moses (pbuh) and led the Israelites
across a stretch of water that they crossed.
The Qur`an gives an additional piece of
information in Surah Yunus chapter 10
verse 92:"This day shall We save thee in thy
body, that thou mayest be a sign to those
who come after thee! But verily, many
among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!"
[Al-Qur`an 10:92]..
Maurice Bucaille
Maurice Bucaille, who worked as chief of the Surgical Clinic, University of
Paris, was deeply interested in the correspondences between the teachings of
Scripture and modern secular knowledge. After a decade-long study, Dr.
Maurice Bucaille addressed the French Academy of Medicine in 1976 concerning
the existence in the Qur`an of certain statements on physiology and
reproduction. He reasoned that: "...our knowledge of these disciplines is such,
that it is impossible to explain how a text produced at the time of the Qur`an
could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times"

That year, Maurice Bucaille published La Bible, le Coran et la science. "The

Bible, The Qur'an and Science"The book proved to be enormously popular and
has been translated into languages spoken throughout the Muslim world.
Enthusiasts consider this work as one of the most important ever on Islam and
science discourse. The opponents of this approach label this trend as
"Bucaillism". The book analyzes the scriptures in the light of modern scientific
knowledge and identifies contradictions between established scientific facts and
scriptures. The author analyzes creationism vs. evolution, astronomy, the
conception in the womb, separation of water in subterranean oceanic rivers, and
 other issues, and attempts to document each point he makes. The general
contents of The Bible, the Qur`an and Science are:

The Old Testament examines the origins of the Bible, describes the
books of the Old Testament, highlights evidence of science in the Old
Testament (i.e. creation of the world, date of creation and appearance of
mankind, the flood), critically examines scientific error.

 The Gospels explores sources and history of the text of the gospels,
genealogy of Jesus, modern science and the gospels, contradictions and
improbabilities in descriptions in the gospels.

 The Qur`an and Modern Science examines the authenticity of the

Qur`an, identifies scientific phenomena described in the Qur`an (creation
of heavens and earth, astronomy, earth science, water cycle, animal and
plant kingdoms, human reproduction).

 Qur`anic and Biblical Narrations draws parallels between the

Qur`anic and Bibilical texts and modern knowledge, dealing specifically
with the narrations of the Flood and the Exodus

 Qur`an, Hadiths and Modern Science

 General Conclusions

 List of Quotations from the Qur`an

Bucaille`s other work, "Mummies of the Pharaohs - Modern Medical

Investigations" (St. Martins Press, 1990), won a History Prize from the Academie
Francaise and another prize from the French National Academy of Medicine.

During the last three decades of the twentieth century, a number of social,
political and economic factors contributed to the spread and popularity of such
literature. Various state-sponsored institutions have organized conferences and
seminars in which scientists link specific verses of the Qur`an to specific data and
theories of modern science to prove (i) that the Qur`an is really a book of God,
revealed to the Prophet of Islam because such specific scientific information was
unknown during his life and (ii) that the Qur`an contains all scientific knowledge
and it is for science and scientists to discover this knowledge. This approach is
encumbered with an emotional, psychological, even political, baggage and has
been opposed and challenged by serious scholarship. But its mass popularity
remains uncontestable. This has given rise to a great deal of apologetic literature,
including hundreds of websites which attempt to prove that the Qur`an is, in
fact, the word of God because it contains scientific theories and facts which
modern science has only recently discovered.

Note:Some claim that Maurice Bucaille didn't convert to Islam,,,It doesn't

matter...But who reads the book,knows the truth...
