Abstract: 
I started my research with an Introduction narrating the story of the Pharaoh in general mentioning the time, the place and the historical background of the story. In addition to the Pharaoh's psychology and His claim to be aged. I have done so to enable the reader to understand my thesis. I talk about the main characteristics of the Pharaoh's personality as depicted explicitly or implicitly in the Holy Koran . I tried my best to analyze the texts and to relate it with the realities of our present time to understand the psychological disease now and in the past . This paper tries to understanding the causes behind the unique personality of The Pharaoh and to prescribe preventive measures from the dangerous defects In this personality . Thus, I tried to explore the ways the Pharaoh used to strengthen his regime such as murdering and torturing opponents, Lying on people to hide the truth, and his supreme control of both the army and the distribution of money . I also talk about the effects of the Pharaoh's personality on the people in his Kingdome In which they become submissive, materialistic and the gap between the classes in the society is so wide .Therefore, Allah punished them because no good human values existed in that society. Finally, I mention how, according to the Koran, Moses faced the Pharaoh with a number of steps started by the preparation of the prophet Moses for that difficult task. I explain the nature of conveying religion to people, and the ability to deal with the fast developments in our world .I assert the importance of the spiritual and the materialistic preparations as well as endurance and patience for those who convey the message of Allah .At the end of my thesis I mention the most important lessons we should learn from the Pharaoh's story and numerate some useful conclusions of this research.
