Not much is known about Assiyya, the wife of Pharaoh. She brought Moses into her home when he was a baby, as is recorded in the Quran:
“God sets forth an example for those who believe — the wife of Pharaoh who said: My Lord, build for me with Thee a house in heaven, and save me from the Pharaoh and his doings, and save me from an unjust people.”(Surah 66:11)
(Pharaoh) said: “Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader, who has taught you magic! be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of palm-trees: so shall ye know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!” (Surah 20:71)
Assia bint Muzahim is one option among women who had engraved in the frame of history. She was the wife of Pharaoh, an Egyptian king at the time of Prophet Moses. As with the Pharaoh, Assia was not blessed with a single child. Pharaoh loved him so much because of her beauty and moral maturity. Has been how many trials and challenges that must be faced with great patience. In fact, many difficulties can be converted into convenience, so that Assia was known as a grace, for the community at the time of Pharaoh who was full of cunning and despotic.
At times like that show events that will determine the subsequent history of the life of the Prophet Moses. Mentioned in the history of prophecy, when Assia sit in a beautiful park area nan, decorated with stunning river flow. He sees a floating coffin. Casket was slowly coming closer, so Assia told his assistants to take and remove the contents of such coffin. When it opened, in it there was a tiny baby, elegant and beautiful. Then came the feeling of self-love in Assia. Allah gave love and affection towards the baby through Assia. Inevitably, Assia ordered that the baby was taken to court by maintaining and mangasuhnya determined.
When I heard the news, Pharaoh to kill him, because he sees a dream that had been haunting about a child who would destroy it. The traditional healers and astrologers were presented from all over the country. His dream was told to them, so he was warned to be careful with the birth of a baby who will become the cause of the destruction of his kingdom. Finally, all baby boys born to the Israelites were ordered to be killed, except for infants cared for Assia. Pharaoh melt with Assia persuasion when he said: "We do not have offspring boys, then do not kill this child. Hopefully there are benefits to us or we gave him as a child of us. " Pharaoh agreed and suggested that the boy be educated in such a manner. Assia gave Moses the name of the child and educate him to adulthood in Pharaoh's palace. And this story is not familiar to us.
Later, Assia is one of those who believe in Moses. When Pharaoh knows it too, suddenly, his love turns to anger and hostility. Assia did not visit him because she knew that the truth is with him. And he also knew that Musa is the Messenger of God whose truth can not be hindered by the challenges and threats that datangnnya from anyone. Until his death, the days finally Assia only filled with dhikr of Allah as saying:
("My Lord, build me a house on your side in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds")
God has granted do'anya, even in a hadith of the Prophet mentioned that Assia among noble women, narrated: ["The best women of Paradise are Khadijah, Fatimah, daughter Mary, wife of Pharaoh Imron and Assia"] .
