When Pharaoh saw that she is not willing to come towards Kufr (disbelief), then the tyrant Pharaoh ordered his guards: ‘Throw her too in the oil like her children.’ When Pharaoh’s guards were taking her to the cauldron, then Pharaoh said: ‘Tell me if you have any last wish.’ She said: ‘Yes! I have one wish. If possible, when I am put into the cauldron with boiling oil in it and when all my flesh will burn, then send this cauldron at the door of the city. My hut is situated there. Place this cauldron in it and demolish the hut so that our house becomes our graveyard.’ Pharaoh said: ‘OK. Fulfilling this wish of yours is on me.’ Thereafter, the courageous believer woman was thrown into the boiling oil. Little while later, her bones also started flowing on the surface of oil.

The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: “On Shab-e-Mi’raaj, I came across a very pleasant fragrance. I asked: ‘O Jibraeel (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم)! What is this fragrance?’ He (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم) replied: ‘This is the fragrance of the maid of Pharaoh’s daughter and her children.’”

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ ! Dear Islamic brothers! You have heard that how firm was the Iman (faith) of that believing, patient and thankful woman. She saw her beloved children being martyred in front of her one after the other but still did not let go of her patience. Along with her children, she sacrificed her own life too but did not let go of the treasure of Iman [faith] she possessed.

Those who know the value of Iman indeed don’t let go of Iman even for a moment at any cost. They relish sacrificing their heads for the sake of Islam and Iman. They love sacrificing their life in the path of Allah Almighty. Their Iman is so firm and strong that no power in the world can make them abandon their Iman. This is the reason why Allah Almighty showers mercies and blessings upon such righteous people. Fragrance emanates from their graves even after their demise.
