وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا امْرَأَتَ فِرْعَوْنَ إِذْ قَالَتْ رَبِّ ابْنِ لِي عِندَكَ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَنَجِّنِي مِن فِرْعَوْنَ وَعَمَلِهِ وَنَجِّنِي مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ
66:11 The “wife of Pharaoh” امْرَأَتَ فِرْعَوْنَ represents those believers who, though passionately desiring and praying fervently to Allâh to get rid of sins, cannot fully dissociate themselves from evil influences. The self-accusing soul sometimes fails and falters. By mentioning the Pharaohs wife, the believers are advised to keep on praying and desiring to dissociate themselves from the wrongdoing people.
