Nisbat-e-Baatini
Reading Time: < 1 minute
When a woman attains Nisbat-e-Baatini (a special, lofty relationship of proximity with Allah Ta’ala), she acquires a lofty and a wonderful pedestal.
Once, during a drought, people went to a saintly lady and asked her to make dua for rain. She went to a small, raised platform whereon she usually performed her Namaaz. She loosened her hair and swept the platform with it. After sweeping she raised her gaze towards the heaven and supplicated:
“I have done the sweeping; You now sprinkle the water.”
As she said this, rain started to come down in torrents.
Humility and supplication are indeed wonderful.
