ASIYA

According to Muslim legend, Asiya is the name of the pious wife of the Pharaoh. The wife is mentioned in the Qur'an twice (28:9, 66:11), but her name is found only in Muslim traditions.

- Asiya: The Wife of Pharaoh
- Who Adopted Moses: Pharaoh’s Daughter or Pharaoh’s Wife?
- A Pharaoh Who Forgot to Die in Time? supports the thesis that S. 28:9 and 66:11 actually speak about the same woman, since the Pharaoh is the same as well.
