The Most Virtuous Women - Sayyidah Asiya
Online Live Seminar with Shaykha Asra Bukhari
Sayyidah Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh, was no ordinary woman. Her strength and her status will forever remain unsurpassed.
She was a woman who never allowed herself to be defined or limited by her painful circumstances, but rather carried in her such a deep faith and sense of self that she was willing to die for what she believed in.
It was for this reason that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned her as one of the greatest women of all time.
The Prophet Muhammad, (peace and blessings be upon him), said:
“Many men reached perfection but none among the women reached perfection except Mary, the daughter of ‘ `Imran, and Asya, Pharaoh’s wife. And the superiority of `Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other kinds of food.” (Al-Bukhari)
