Within days of being in the company of Hadrat Amman Jan ra , she became a worthy and pleasant individual. She learnt to speak enough to express herself to others. In adulthood , Hadrat Amman Jan ra arranged her marriage. She even provided Raheem Bibi (fondly known as“Heemi” ) with a house, household goods and a buffalo to provide milk - a proof of her infinite generosity as well as her compassion. By the Grace of Allah Almighty , Heemi was then blesse d with four sons. This was the girl who may not have even reached adulthood living in a sordid alleyway, nor have ever spoken a word without the extensive help of a selfless guardian like Hadrat Amman Jan ra. Master Abdul Aziz Khan has related a similar story of how he always saw Hadrat Amman Jan ra caring for some orphan or needy persons within her household. Hadrat Amman Jan ra had the sensitivity which few have of never making such individuals feel obliged for he r favours. She never treated those in her care as servants, as was customary at the time. Master Abdul Aziz relates that when his wife died Hadrat Amman Jan ra took his son and daughter into her loving care. She treated his daughter like a granddaughter and not as a domestic servant. She made a point of instructing her household helpers not to ask the girl to do anything, so that she never felt she was being exploited in her vulnerable state as a motherless girl. Hadrat Amman Jan ra kept her close by her even when she went on excursions. She also provided things for her when the time for her marriage came.
