MCQ Detailed View

Bibi Aasiya, the wife of Pharaoh (Fir’awn), adopted Hazrat Musa (A.S) after he was found floating in a basket on the Nile River. According to the Qur’an, Fir’awn had ordered the killing of all newborn Israelite boys due to a prophecy about a boy who would bring down his kingdom. To protect her child, Hazrat Musa’s (A.S) mother placed him in a basket and set it afloat on the river.

The basket was found by the people of Pharaoh’s household, and Bibi Aasiya, known for her piety and compassion, convinced Fir’awn not to harm the child. She loved Hazrat Musa (A.S) and took responsibility for raising him as her own son, despite knowing he was from the Children of Israel.

This incident is detailed in Surah Al-Qasas (28:7–9), where Allah describes how He protected Hazrat Musa (A.S) and placed love for him in the heart of his adoptive mother. Bibi Aasiya is honored in Islamic tradition as a righteous woman who believed in the oneness of Allah, even while living under the rule of one of the most tyrannical rulers in history.
