Sayyida Asiya Wife of Pharoah: Fealty to the Straight Path

The story of Sayyida Asiya provides several opportunities to examine the lives of the many women in the story of Nabi Musa (AS), and we study the Qur'anic verses and hadith which address them all.

This class also engages with surah al-Tahreem and the stories of the six women who are mentioned in it, and how it is a very important surah about the family and fealty to the Straight Path.

We conclude by examining the three Prophetic diagrams that were mentioned in Episode 2 and how we have come a full circle in our understanding of how they integrate and what place the four best women we have talked about so far occupy with regard to those diagrams.

We also ask ourselves which path do we have fealty with...what ideas and systems of thought do we think will help us achieve our goals and aims in life, and to what extent do they agree with the Straight Path of Islam?
