Musa/Moses/Moshe/M-S is an exceptionally common root stem in ancient Egyptian, one often used by New Kingdom pharoahs.
In hieroglyphs M-S looks like this (in left to right order) , and forms the stem of words related to birth and childhood (note that Ancient Egyptian, unlike more modern Semitic languages like Arabic, had biconsonantal roots as well as triconsonantal roots). So 'Thutmose' is more accurately ḏḥwtj-ms, or 'Thoth is born', while 'Ramesses' is 'Ra-ms', or 'Ra is born'. So Musa's name is most likely a common Egyptian root stem frequently used in Egyptian names, and meaning 'one who is born' or 'child'.
So not exactly Moses, just a similar name.

I have done some research. And my observations tell me. Google needs to be updated. The fonts look too boring. I couldnt continue. So instead, I watched some Spongebob.
Idk how this is relevant
Well anyways. I got a question of my own. Mainly targeted towards non-Muslims, but Muslim answers are appreciated as well. Does Islam need reformation?
We do and we always will.

Okay sure.

NO.

Why would we pray in some foreign language? Besides Arabic for obvious reasons, that is.
