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