‘Truthful’ (Ṣādiq), but as soon as he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم began to publicly preach Islam, the same malicious unbelievers began to hurt, ridicule and swear at him. Not only that, they even attempted to take his life. Amazingly, despite these circumstances, the Prophet of Raḥmaĥ, the Intercessor of Ummaĥ صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم remained steadfast, and always patient.

Sayyidatunā Āsiyaĥ رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْهَا was pharaoh’s wife. She became a believer after seeing the failure and conversion of the magicians who competed against Sayyidunā Mūsā Kalīmullāĥ عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام. When pharaoh became aware of this, he began to torture her using various methods in order to make her reject her
