Who was the wife of Pharaoh that believed in Allah?

In Islamic tradition, the wife of Pharaoh (Fir'awn) who believed in Allah is Asiyah bint Muzahim. She is one of the four women identified in hadith as having attained perfection of faith. The Qur'an references her in Surah At-Tahrim (66:11), where Allah presents her as an example for the believers: she prayed to Allah to build her a house in Paradise and to save her from Pharaoh and his deeds.

Asiyah's faith is remarkable because she believed despite living in the household of one of the most tyrannical rulers mentioned in the Qur'an. When she witnessed the miracles of Prophet Musa (AS) and recognised the truth of his message, she accepted faith in Allah, even though it put her life in danger.

The other women listed are important figures in Islamic history but are not the wife of Pharaoh. Sarah was the wife of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). Hajar was also a wife of Ibrahim (AS) and the mother of Isma'il (AS). Maryam (Mary) was the mother of Prophet Isa (AS), not married to Pharaoh.

Exam tip: Remember that Asiyah is specifically associated with Pharaoh, while the other women are connected to different prophets.
