Rabia Basri

You know of the how, but I know of the how-less.Rabia Basri

Rābiʼa al-ʼAdawiyya al-Qaysiyya (c. 716 – 801 CE) was an Arab Muslim saint and Sufi mystic and was an influential religious figure. She is known in some parts of the world as Hazrat Rabia Basri, Rabia Al Basri or simply Rabia Basri.

She is often cited as being the queen of saintly women, and was known for her complete devotion or “pure unconditional love of God”. As an exemplar among others devoted to God, she provided a model of mutual love between God and His creation; her example is one in which the loving devotee on earth becomes one with the Beloved.
