00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			To start,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			there's a greenness in Sentra
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			We continue our theme for
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			events and incidents
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			in and around the lives of the prophets,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			peace people, all of them, which have been
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			extracted from the glorious Quran.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			A noble lady, in fact,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			a queen
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			and her maids were at the Nile River
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			and to their amazement, they found a basket
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			floating in the river.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			The queen immediately ordered her,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			those who were with her, accompanying her
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			to bring the crate like basket
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			on shore,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			and they thought the maids thought there were
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:30
			some treasure in there.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			Instead, they found a baby boy.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			The queen instantly
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			felt motherly love for the baby
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			and reported
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			her finding to her husband, who was a
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			king, of course.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			And Allah documents that incident in the holy
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			Quran.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			The wife of the pharaoh said,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			he is a joy
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			for the eye,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			for me and for you.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			Do not kill him.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			It may be that he will be of
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			benefit to us
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			or we may take him as a son.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			And they perceived not really
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			what they were doing.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			The name of the lady
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			was Asiya Binti Muzahim.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			Described in the Quran as Imra Athfiraoun,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			the wife of the pharaoh.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			That pharaoh who reigned during the time of
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			Musa alaihis salaam
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			And of course, the baby who happened to
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			be in the basket
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			was Musa, alayhis salam, himself.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			That Firaun, who is a symbol
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			and the epitome
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			of arrogance,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			of corruption,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			of brutality,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			the arch of oppressor
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			among unjust rulers.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			Assia binti Muzaim, on the other hand, is
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			believed to have come also from a rich
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			family, a noble family.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			Very beautiful, they say, and a generous woman.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			And historians say,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			She is the one who received
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			and welcomed the baby.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			She was honored
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			with and training him, and with giving the
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			message and the mission of his prophethood,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			she believed in him.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			When she went
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			how people being tortured, including
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			women who believed
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			when Musa Alaihi Salam and Harul who were
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			presence of the fira.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			He tried to convince her, tried to turn
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			her away from the faith,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			but refused,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			realizing that faith was far more important
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			than luxury
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:04
			and privilege.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			And therefore,
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:07
			the last
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			And Allah sets for us a life
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			as an example as a parable
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			to those who have faith.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			Through the wife of the pharaoh,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			Behold, she said, oh, Allah,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			build for me
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			nearest to thee
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:41
			in tar
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			and save me
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:45
			from
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			and save me from all the oppressors.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			How great a person
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			is Asia.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56
			An example for every human being.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:57
			Rich,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			beautiful lady,
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			married to the most powerful man on earth
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			at that time. Of all the powerful men
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			mentioned in the Quran, none is mentioned in
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:10
			the Quran more powerful than Firaun
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			as a pharaoh.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			A pharaoh who kills baby boys,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			and Musa, alayhi salaam, was destined to have
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			been killed if she didn't offer her love
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:19
			and compassion.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			She brought him out in that very house
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			of that Firaun.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25
			She brought him up.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			And who was she bringing up? Not only
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			a prophet, al Ulla Avni among the major
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			prophets. The arch prophets. The senior most prophets.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			The most mentioned prophet in the Quran, Musa
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			Alaihi Salam.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			The prophet who would grow up in that
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			very palace and eventually challenge that very tyrannical
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			pharaoh.
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			Asiya
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			in his Fathulbari shirkfal Bukhari, he writes, he
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:57
			said,
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13
			than all the
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:16
			privileges.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			She, not only that, went through torture,
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			and her insight concerning Musa was absolutely correct.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			Indeed, he was a comfort to her eye.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			There's so many lessons we can learn. Asiya
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			was a woman of compassion.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			And we learn that people who are compassionate
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			always care genuinely about others.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			Asia was a lady of principle,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			married to the most powerful man with all
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:52
			the privileges.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			And, we learn that principled people
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			must have tremendous courage,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			a nobility of spirit,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			and an unwavering
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:02
			commitment.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			She died while being tortured for a belief
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			by her husband
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			who had discovered
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			that she had taken to Tawhid,
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			and he brutally
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			and mercilessly
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:16
			retaliate
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			to her rebellion against
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			her opposition to his tyranny.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			Asia was selfless.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			What did she have to gain? What did
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			she gain in that regard in the world?
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			And we learned how selflessness
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			led her to abide by the truth at
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			all cost.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:36
			Asia
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			was a nurturer
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			of Musa, alayhis salaam, a believer in his
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			message, his supporter,
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			his protector,
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			and
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			she died a martyr.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			She was thus exalted
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			among the women of all time.
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			She was at least a believer in this
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			world and surely a queen in the hereafter
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			in a hadith documented
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			but at Irmidi Rasulullah
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			in another version of Hadith,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			Rasulullah
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			said, sufficient is it an example for all
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			the people of the women of the world,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			the leaders of the women of paradise,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			Mary, the mother of Jesus.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			Mariam, the mother of Isa, Alaihi Salaam. Khadija,
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			the daughter of Khwalid.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:40
			and Asiya,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			the wife of the pharaoh. May Allah grant
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			her the highest
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			in paradise.
