Are Mary, Khadijah, Fatimah, and Asiyah the best of all women in the world until the Day of Judgment, or only in their time? And is it possible for a woman of their stature or better to appear now?

The best women in the world and the women of Paradise are: Maryam bint 'Imran, Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, and Asiyah the wife of Pharaoh.

'Aishah, the Mother of the Believers, is also among the best women in the world. Her superiority over women is like the superiority of tharid over all other foods. However, this does not explicitly state her superiority over Maryam and Asiyah. The intention might be her superiority over the women of the [Muslim] nation.

'Aishah was the most beloved of the Messenger of Allah's wives to him. No woman in the nation was known to be more knowledgeable or insightful than her. Her innocence was revealed from above seven heavens, and she lived long after him, conveying the Qur'an and Sunnah from him, and issuing fatwas to Muslims.
