The beloved messenger of Allah ﷺ, he's in
Isra al-Mi'raj.
He's literally traveling through the heavens with Jibreel
ﷺ on Isra al-Mi'raj.
And as he's traveling, the Prophet ﷺ smells
something so beautiful, he can't ignore it.
And I want you to imagine this because
the Prophet ﷺ, when he arrives, right, and
he's granted the opening, literally the skies open
up, the Prophet ﷺ is greeted by angels
upon angels sending salawat.
Can you, first of all, we know that
the mala'ika love good smell.
So I just say, subhanAllah, what the scent
must have been like.
Right, from that, just the smell of the
mala'ika, right, the smell of the first
heaven and the second heaven and the third
heaven.
And he's seeing, subhanAllah, of Jannah, what that
must have smelled like.
But then for the Prophet ﷺ to have
a smell that exceeded that, that made him
stop in his tracks and say, Ya Jibreel
ﷺ, what is that smell?
What is that?
And he says, oh, this is the smell
of the hairdresser of the daughter of Fir
'aun.
He doesn't even mention her name.
He says, this is the smell of the
hairdresser of the daughter of Fir'aun.
First of all, this is like, okay, now
I'm really bad at this, so you guys
have to help me out.
When you're a hairdresser, you're a blue-collar
worker.
Yeah, blue-collar worker.
Okay.
You're basically like, you know, you're not like
CEO of a company.
You're not like, you know, some high status.
You're not coming from like some high status.
You're the hairdresser, not of Fir'aun's wife,
not like the hairdresser of the queen.
No, you're the hairdresser of the daughter of
Fir'aun.
And so, subhanAllah, the hairdresser, so the Prophet
ﷺ is like, I need to know, like,
what is so wonderful and significant about her
that subhanAllah, I can smell her.
I can smell her while I'm traveling, right
through on my journey to meet Allah ﷻ.
So tell me, tell me about her.
And so he says, well, he begins to
narrate to our Prophet ﷺ that basically one
day, she's combing the hair of the daughter
of Fir'aun and she drops the comb.
And as she drops the comb, subhanAllah, she
goes and she picks it up and she
says, Bismillah.
And so the daughter turns around and said,
what did you say?
She said, I said, Bismillah.
She said, are you talking about my father?
She said, no, no child.
I'm not talking about your father.
Why?
She says, Allah rabbi, wa rabbuk, wa rabbi
al-'anameen.
That Allah is my Lord.
And you know, you probably don't know.
Allah is your Lord and the Lord of
the universe.
And so the daughter becomes angry.
She's like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna tell my
father what you said.
And the hairdresser said in my southern accent,
go run tell that.
And so she goes and she tells her
father, right?
Pompous princess, right?
Daddy, my hairdresser said, Bismillah.
And so he says, what?
She said, yeah, she's been infected with this
religion of Musa.
So, you know, in father fashion, in tyrannical
father fashion, he says, he's got to prove
to his daughter, right?
Who he is.
So he says, well, you go, you tell
her to come here.
You tell her to report to me.
So she comes, right?
Here I am.
He said, do you believe in the Lord
of Musa?
She says, Allah rabbi, wa rabbuk, wa rabbi
al-'anameen.
Talking about speaking truth to power.
She's not doing it from like behind the,
you know, a screen, typing Facebook, hitting that
change button.
Oh, she's standing directly in front of him.
She knows what he's capable of.
She knows all the babies that he's murdered.
She knows all the men that he's murdered.
And she says, Allah is my Lord and
your Lord and the Lord of the universe.
And so he says, okay, like I see
your boldness.
So he says, you know what?
I'm not even in this moment, I'm not
even going to address you directly because I
see your, you know, how you're presenting yourself.
So he orders his soldiers, go bring her
entire family and bring them to me.
So her husband also worked in the court
of Pharaoh.
So he brings her husband, they go bring
her five children from her home.
One of them is an infant baby, like
a baby in her arms.
And he then orders a cauldron pot to
be boiled of oil, not just water, oil.
You know, the difference between water and oil
is that when it boils, if it touches
you, it's going to stick.
So even if you wipe it, it's going
to, the skin is going to come with
it.
So they boil this oil until it's bubbling.
And he asked her, say what you said
again.
She looks at him and she says, and
he looks at her husband and he says,
you allow this?
You let this happen?
You let her be infected with this religion?
And her husband says, and Pharaoh becomes infuriated.
He orders his clothes to be ripped off
and thrown into this boiling oil.
And in front of his wife and his
children, they boil him to his bones.
And she's standing there watching.
I can't imagine.
I can't imagine the tears in her eyes
or the lump in her.
I can't imagine how she must have felt.
And then he asked her again.
She answered the same way.
They started with her oldest child.
He asked her again.
She responded the same way.
He put the next child and the next
and the next until she's holding a baby
in her arms.
And he asked her again, you want to
change your mind yet?
And at that moment, she looks down at
her baby.
And of course, with the mother heart, she
holds the baby a little bit tighter.
Manifest a miracle in her arms.
This is the first child that we know
to speak.
This child speaks and says, mama, don't be
afraid for you.
And literally, even in that, even with Pharaoh
hearing that he then becomes more angry, rips
the child out of her arm, and then
subhanAllah boils her, boils the child in this
pot.
And he asked her again.
And she says, I just have one request.
Bury us in the same grave that we
could be together in the akhira.
I'm not afraid.
I know you're only sending me to my
Lord.
And this is a, this is a whole
level of iman, a whole level of taqwa.
And subhanAllah, he does the same thing to
her.
He boils her, all of them alive.
And so when the Prophet ﷺ hears this,
he's just, he's just overwhelmed.
He's just overwhelmed.
And of course, then the question becomes, like,
and when he tells the companions, is the
question becomes like, how, like, who is she?
How does she, how does she learn about,
like, how does she know the deen?
What happens?
What happens next?
You know what happens next?
Queen Asiyah runs.
When she hears the story, she runs to
Pharaoh.
And she said, did you, did you murder
her and her entire family?
She's asking him, like, I know that you're
cruel.
I know that you've done some horrible things,
but tell me you didn't do that.
And he says, I did.
She was talking about this religion of Musa,
saying that Allah was her Lord.
She said, Allah was my Lord.
He began to laugh.
And at that moment, Queen Asiyah confesses.
Queen Asiyah says, Allah rabbi, wa rabbok, wa
rabbil a'lamin.
And this is the moment where he literally
orders all of her clothes to be ripped
off.
He drags her by her hair, hangs her
off the balcony.
And initially, the people are screaming, oh, Pharaoh,
this is the beautiful, the Queen Asiyah, the
kind, the merciful, the generous, please.
And he says, you know what she, you
know, you know what she said?
And then immediately the people back off and
say, oh, Pharaoh.
He murders her, subhanAllah.
He literally leaves her first in the desert
naked for three days, expecting that the animals
would eat her alive.
And he sends the soldiers to go find
her after three days.
And when they find her alive, they literally
drag her back by the horse.
They drag her back.
And when she gets there, he's like, you're
still not dead.
So then he orders a horse to be
tied on one side of her and another
on the other, and he keeps whipping the
horse until it's literally separating her limbs and
the skin from its bones.
She begins to make a dua that's mentioned
in the Quran.
She says, my Lord, build with me, build
for me with you a house in Jannah.
Instead of the tahareem, she meant like build
for me with you a house in Jannah.
And subhanAllah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala literally
shows her in that moment, the mana'ika
building her home.
She smiles.
She smiles.
Pharaoh becomes enraged.
He says, how dare you?
How dare you?
I'm torturing you after everything I've done.
And you smile?
What?
You smile?
And she says, and save me from Pharaoh
and his evil folks, the evil people who
come with me, come with him.
And in that moment, subhanAllah, he's so angry
that she smiled.
She makes this dua, save me from him,
Ya Rabbi.
So he then orders a catapult to crush
her body.
Right before the catapult comes, the catapult's a
rock, a stone, a boulder to crush her.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala removes her soul.
Now you might be wondering, why do I
tell you this story tonight?
Because in these moments, what will you do
for Allah?
What will you withstand to say, Allah, I
will not deviate from this day.
I am, how will you say I'm not
concerned about the people?
I'm not concerned about their opinion of me.
I'm not concerned about my perceived notion of
what they might do to me, whether imagined
or real.
I'm not, I don't care.
What I care about is what does my
Lord think of me?
I'm concerned that I'm going to face my
Lord one day.
Will my Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam smell
me coming with a beautiful scent, subhanAllah.
