PIOUS WOMEN

Satt al-Mulûk

She was from Arabia. All the 'auliyâ' and ‘ulamâ' of her time used to honour her. Once she went to visit Baytul Maqdis. At that time, a sûfi by the name of ‘Alî bin ‘Albas Yamânî was present over there. He says: "I was in the musjid when I saw a thread filled with nûr extending from the sky to the dome of the musjid . When I went to look, I saw this woman offering s alât under the dome and the thread was attached to her."

Lesson : This nûr was the nûr of piety. It is formed in the heart of all pious persons. At times, Allah displays this nûr outside as well. But the actual place of this nûr is the heart. O women! Adopt piety, do good deeds and stay away from that which is prohibited.
