The Stereotypes of Muslim Women Are Wrong: Meet Asiya bint Muzahim

When I think of Muslim women, I only remember strong, powerful, and selfless individuals of the present and past who have such an amazing hold on their life, responsibilities, and faith that I cannot help but be inspired by and in awe of them.
One such woman is Asiya bint Muzahim who attained perfect faith as described by the Prophet Muhammad (may the blessings and peace of God be upon him). She lived in ancient Egypt during the rule of the most oppressive pharaoh in history. Not only did she live under his rule, but she lived in his home as his wife. This pharaoh was a a horrible tyrant who claimed to be an all-powerful god, and he made his people worship him. At the same time, however, he was so paranoid of being overthrown (as a fortune teller predicted) that he ordered baby boys born in the land to be killed.

Asiya bint Muzahim (Arabic: آسِيَة بِنْت مُزَاحِم, romanized: Āsiya bint Muzāḥim) was, according to the Qur'an and Islamic tradition, the wife of the Pharaoh of the Exodus and adoptive mother of Moses.[2][3]
Asiya is first mentioned in Surah Al-Qasas in the Quran,[3] identified as Bithiah in the Jewish tradition.[4] She is revered by Muslims as one of the four greatest women of all time, and according to a prophetic narration in Sahih al-Bukhari, the second greatest ever after Mary.[5][6]
She is believed to have secretly accepted monotheism after witnessing the miracle of Moses. The tradition holds that Asiya worshipped Allah in secret and hid her religion from her husband. However, later her faith was revealed and the Pharaoh ordered her execution.[7]
Al-Tha'labi believed that the continent of Asia was named after her.[8]
