- The wife of the tyrant Pharoah is stuck in the castle and she cannot escape. She's married to him can't report him to the government, because he kind of is the government. She has nowhere to go but she lives in this amazing beautiful castle. . . . and she makes this prayer "رَبِّ ٱبۡنِ لِى عِندَكَ بَيۡتً۬ا فِى ٱلۡجَنَّةِ" 'Rabb-ibni lee 'indaka baytan fil jannah.' Master! build a house for me near you in heaven'. In Arabic, the wording is arranged in a different sequence. So instead of "Build - a house - for me - near you - in heaven" She rearranges the sentence, and says; "Build, especially for me. . . " She highlights herself first, as if to say, 'Yaa Allah! I'm in a terrible house right now. I, I really need this house'. This castle of Fir'awn means nothing to her because of the Evil that goes on in there. So she is saying to Allah, "I, I in particular need different housing". Then secondly Aasiyah says the most important part to her, it's not even heaven. The next most important part to her is "'Indaka" 'I need to be close to you Yaa Allah' "Build particularly for me, really close to you . . .". And then Finally she mentions . . . "In Jannah/ Heaven". Like the Heaven part, was the lesser concern.
Explanatory Note
She disowned Pharaoh's people while at the same time living in their midst. Pharaoh's wife's prayer and her overall position is a shining example of rejecting all temptation that the life of this world can offer, even at its most splendid. Pharaoh was the most powerful king on earth, and his palace offered the best that a woman could desire. Yet his wife chose faith in preference to all this. She did not merely treat it with contempt; she considered it evil and sought refuge with God from yielding to it, praying to be saved from it and its consequences. Yet Pharaoh's wife was a woman standing on her own in the midst of a great kingdom, which makes her all the more admirable and gives her an even greater position. As we have stated earlier, women are more sensitive and responsive to social pressures. However, this woman, on her own, resisted the pressures exerted by society, the palace, the throne, the courtiers and her own royal position, lifting her head to heaven seeking its light. She certainly provides a great example of submission to God, resisting all temptations and overcoming all impediments. Hence she deserved her special mention in God's book, the words of which are echoed throughout the universe as they are revealed from on high.
