Asiya (One who tends to the weak, One who heals) is considered to be one of four great, noble, and pious women in Islamic history. Perhaps the name is a corruption of Amenia, or even Batya. In the Qur'an, she was the wife of the Pharaoh (Fira'un) and was the one who adopted Moses (Musa) after Moses was found floating in the Nile river. According to Islam, she will be among the first women to enter "Janna" (Paradise) because she accepted Musa's monotheism over the Pharaoh's beliefs. She was given a message from the Angel Gabriel regarding the Pharaoh's death decree, warned Moses and thus saved his life.
