Women are moral examples for believers – both men and women; one of the biggest examples, is that of Aasiah, wife of pharaoh or ‘Fir’aaun’. She was seen as someone who had perfected her Imaan, despite being surrounded by corruption and wealth, her faith in Allah was so absolute. The story of Aasiah is personally, one that has become close to my heart; the Du’aa that she made while she was being tortured by pharaoh , makes me so emotional; ‘And Allah presents an example of those who believed: the wife of Pharoah, when she said, 'My Lord, build for me, near you, a house in paradise and save me from pharaoh and his deeds and save me from the wrongdoing people.''(66:11) The fact that despite being born in to a life of wealth and luxury, being the wife of Fir’aaun, but still her first priority was being close to God in the Hereafter. She is a big inspiration for me – and it is fitting that she is presented as an example in the Qur’an for all believers. From interview:
