[Pooya/Ali Commentary 66:11] Traditionally the wife of Firawn, known as Asiya, is one of the four divinely exalted perfect women, the other three are Maryam, mother of Isa; Khadijah, wife of the Holy Prophet and mother of Fatimah Zahra and Fatimah Zahra, daughter of the Holy Prophet and wife of Ali ibn abi Talib and mother of Imam Hasan and Imam Husayn, the progenitor of the rest of the Imams of the Ahl ul Bayt (see Baqarah: 124). Firawn is known for arrogance, godlessness, wickedness and transgression of all bounds. To lay greater emphasis on what has been said in verse l0 that being a wife of a prophet in no way exempts a woman from punishment if she is evil; the reverse example of Asiya is given in this verse that in spite of being the wife of an accursed man like Firawn, she is among the four most honoured women of the world. As stated in verse 9 of Qasas she saved the life of Musa. After seeing the miracles performed by Musa in the court of Firawn her spiritual vision was directed to Allah and she became a believing women. She was persecuted for her true faith. Her prayer implies a desire for martyrdom. At last she attained her crown of martyrdom.
