So how come you are guessing the opposite with Abu Lahab? You are assuming it's about a particular person, with no implications, as a general lesson.
Because the quran addresses Abu Lahab by name. Or doesn't it? According to all translations I've seen it uses the specific name Abu Lahab.
I've never read the story of pharaoh and I have no intention of doing because I find the quran very boring. The only time I ever read it was to debate Islam. But then I'd find myself getting into discussions like this, about why would I assume a chapter is about a person only because the person is addressed directly by name.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
