Rābiʼa al-ʼAdawiyya al-Qaysiyya (Arabic: رابعة العدوية القيسية; c. 716 – 801 CE)[1] was an Arab Muslim saint, one of the earliest Sufi mystics and an influential religious figure.[2] She is known in some parts of the world as Hazrat Rabia Basri, Rabia Al Basri or simply Rabia Basri.[3] She is considered by many Muslims to be an example of piety and is a part of the complicated early history of Islam.
