Question
The theory that the Qur’an anticipates later science is often called Bucailleism (“boo-KY-ism”) after a doctor who claimed to find salt crystals on this person’s body. For 10 points each:
[10m] The Qur’anic Hāmān serves what person, whose last-minute conversion is rejected by Allah in Surah Yunus? In an Isra’iliyyat story, this person spares a child who picks up a burning hot coal instead of a ruby.
ANSWER: Pharaoh [or Firaun; accept Merneptah or Ramesses II]
[10h] Bucaille’s claims about Pharaoh suggest the Qur’an’s “scientific,” or ilmi, type of this property. Musaylimah’s doggerel verses about frogs support this specific property of the Qur’an, which the “verses of challenge” affirm by calling skeptics to “bring something like it.”
ANSWER: inimitability [or i’jāz al-qur’ān; or inimitable; or answers including word forms of not and imitable, but reject synonyms; accept i’jāz ilmi; prompt on word forms of miraculousness]
[10e] An inimitable “Qur’anic Code” based on this number was theorized by Rashad Khalifa, the father of Pirates infielder Sam. This number of letters in the bismillah is ubiquitous in the Bahá’í faith.
ANSWER: 19
