169 helped anybody who came to her in difficulty and often she would do this confidentially. As will be evident to the reader now, her care of orphans was exceptional. She would invite them for dinner and would also send food to their homes, (this was apart from the orphans who were in her permanent care). Hadrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad ra also recollected how Hadrat Amman Jan ra made special inquiries to find out about prisoners (both Muslim and non - Muslim) in jail due to financial debts and poverty. She then sent money for these men to enjoy a special meal. He also mentioned that she would help those in genuine need of a loan (but not habitual borrowers). Hadrat Mirza Bashir Ahmad ra also highlighted his mother ’ s immense hospitality, hardworking nature and care for the sick. She would personally visit any lady that was unwell in Qadian. This instilled such a love within the ladies for Hadrat Amman Jan ra , that they loved her more than their own mothers. She became a great pillar of support for the women there. She provided a sympathetic ear and advice to anyone who required it. As we are aware , Hadrat Amman Jan ra welcomed orphans into her household. Her son recollects that his mother did not do just the bare minimum for them but tried to fulfil their every comfort. She was also very considerate not to injure their self - respect or dignity in any way. For this particular quality of hers, Hadrat Mirza Bashir Ahm ad ra believed that his Mother would have the good fortune to be close to the Holy Prophet of Islam sa on the Day of Judgement. He was convinced of this due to the hadith of the Holy Prophet sa that on the Day of Judgement , he and the carer of orphans will in deed be as close as the two adjoining fingers of one hand.
