What did Egyptians embalm?

Your question isn't really clear. Ancient Egyptians embalmed when somebody died. If you mean WHY did they embalm, they did it because they wanted to prepare the dead for the afterlife. If you mean HOW did they embalm, they cut the organs out of the body, but for the brains they stuck a red-hot poker up the nostrils of the dead, and pulled the brains out through the nostrils. The organs were taken and put in canopic jars, so the dead would have access to them in the afterlife. Hope I helped!

Is embalming haram for muslim. pls give your answer?

Answer: It is forbidden to embalm the body. The dead body is never placed on display anyway in Islam, so why embalm? The ruling is that the body is wrapped in plain cloth and placed in the grave on soil - so that it decomposes and returns to the earth completely.
