Who was Haman?

3 biggest enemies of the jews

Ask a jewish child who were the 3 biggest enemies of the jews in jewish history and they will give you 2 names from ancient era and 1 from modern era.

Those 3 are of course - Pharaoh,Haman & Hitler.

They all wanted the elimination of the jewish nation.

Pharaoh,king of Egypt(~13th century BC):

And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying: 'Every son that is
born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.'
(exodus 1:22)

The salvation from him is celebrated in Passover.

Haman,was the advaisor of Ahasuerus,king of Persia(~5th century BC):

After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

(Ester 3:1)

wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole
kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

(Ester 3:6)

The salvation from him is celebrated in Purim.

Hitler - well,i think everyone knows his story...

Haman in Islam

To establish a firm place for them in the land, and to show
Pharaoh, Haman, and their hosts, at their hands, the very things against which they were taking precautions.

(Quran 28:6)

Then the people of Pharaoh picked him up (from the river): (It was intended)
that (Moses) should be to them an adversary and a cause of sorrow: for Pharaoh and Haman and (all) their hosts were men of sin.

(Quran 28:8)

Pharaoh said: "O Chiefs! no god do I know for you but myself: therefore, O Haman! light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty
palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses: but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!"

(Quran 28:38)

(Remember also) Qarun, Pharaoh, and Haman: there came to them Moses with Clear
Signs, but they behaved with insolence on the earth; yet they could not
overreach (Us).

(Quran 29:39)

To Pharaoh, Haman, and Qarun; but they called
(him)" a sorcerer telling lies!"...

(Quran 40:24)

So Muhammad took Haman the advaisor and placed him in Pharaoh palace 1000 years before his time.

Not the first time that muhammad take 2 jewish Motifs and mix them together.

i don't think that muhammad did it consciously,but heard those stories long time before and they mixed in his memory.

Muslism don't understand why jews didn't followed Muhammad,it's a puzzle for them.

I think that Muhmmad was a great,impresive & idealist man but only jews who are familaiar with jewish tradition can sence muhammad errors.
