Named in the Qur’an

آسِيَة

Āsiya

Asiya, the wife of Pharaoh, is honored in Islamic tradition as one of the four greatest women. She raised Musa in the palace of the very tyrant who sought to kill him, and prayed for a house in Paradise rather than the comforts of her station.

From the Qur’an

"And Allah presents an example of those who believed: the wife of Pharaoh, when she said, ‘My Lord, build for me near You a house in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh and his deeds…’"

— Qur’an, At-Tahrim 66:11
