Hazrat Amman Jan - An Inspiration for Us All — Page 113
113 Master Abdul Aziz was so impressed by Hadrat Amman Jan's ra care that he declared that her love for his children and others, was greater and purer than a maternal love. Mothers have an instinctive attachment to their progeny; however , Hadrat Amman Jan's ra kindness and love was instigated by a purer, superior motive, that was to win the pleasure of her Creator. This consistent kindness of Hadrat Amman Jan ra evoked lifelong gratitude for her in the heart of Master Abdul Aziz. He affectionately narrate d that Hadrat Amman Jan ra continued to care for his daughter after her marriage, and then also her husband and children. She ensured to the best of her ability that his daughter and son did not ever feel the loss of their biological mother. In fact , in the words of “ Charagh ” one of the boys she raised, we can understand more lucidly the profound impact Hadrat Amman Jan ra had on the lives of so many. In old age , Charagh related affectionately that Hadrat Amman Jan ra treated him and so many others like her own children. She did not distinguish between the meals of her children and of the orphans in her care. On most of her trips, he had the blessed opportunity to accompany her to places like Ferozpur, Ludhiana, Delhi and Lahore; places he may never have seen by himself. Sometimes , Hadrat Amman Jan ra would send Charagh on an errand to fetch something. She would never ask him in a harsh tone, but as a mother would ask assistance from her son. She would also have clothes made for the children she “fostered”. She even gave them pocket money just as she did her own children. When Charagh married, she asked for the bride's “ doli ” or litter to come to her home first. She then presented the bride with some money and some beautiful cloth. She also gave money to the litter bearers, acting as a welcoming mother - in - law in such a situation.
