PIOUS WOMEN

Juwayriyah

She was the slave-girl of a king. He freed her. Upon seeing the great ‘ibâdah of the sûfi 'Abû ‘Abdullâh Turâbî, she married him and used to engage in ‘ibâdah as well. Once she saw beautiful tents in her dream. She asked for who these were. A reply came that they are for those who recite the Quran in tahajjud . After seeing this dream, she abandoned sleeping at night. She used to awaken her husband and tell him that the caravan is moving on.

Lesson : O women! You should engage in ‘ibâdah yourself and urge your husband as well.
