kind

She was a very pious women overall. She excelled in all aspects of her life. Khadija was born to a father who was a successful merchant in their Quraysh tribe of Mecca. Hazrat Khadijah "inherited her father’s skills at a time in history when society was male-dominated and dangerous.

Facts!

Accepting

- Passed Away in 620 A.D. (Around the age of 65)

- ''She spent her worldly riches on the poor.

In Islam, whether rich or poor, one’s financial condition is a test. Khadija gave her earnings to the poor and to the orphans, to the widows and the sick. She helped poor girls get married and provided their dowry.

Khadija was one of history’s most remarkable women. Prophet Muhammad once said that the four greatest women of mankind were: Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, Fatima bint Muhammad (his youngest daughter,) Mary bint Emran (the Virgin Mary) and Asiya bint Muzahim (the wife of Pharaoh.) Khadija continues to inspire people to this day who revere her for taking great care of the Prophet of Islam and for showing the world, through her behavior, what a pious, modest and courageous woman can accomplish. The example she left for mankind remains timeless."

Before Married Life...

Amiable

She turned down many marriage proposals.

"Being the most successful woman around, rich in worldly attainment as well as character, it seems Khadijah faced a consistent campaign of men seeking her hand in marriage. She was married twice before her wedlock to the Prophet. Both of these marriages produced children and both left her widowed. Her keen sense of character left her picky; and she was less than eager to suffer another painful loss of a husband. She resigned herself to being a widowed woman, taking care of herself and her family."

Noble

Married Life:

"She asked the Prophet to marry her.

Khadija learned of the stellar character of Muhammad, as well as his experience managing caravans on the trade routes accompanying his uncle, Abu Talib. She hired him into her conglomerate.

Marriages at this time were typically necessary for survival and not always about love as we know it in today’s world. But Khadija didn’t need a husband to take care of her financially. And Muhammad did not have the means to seek a wife.

She fell in love with him, and through a friend, she asked him to marry her. He said yes."

Background About Marriage

"Hazrat Khadijah was 15 years older than Muhammad.

If Khadija’s story hasn’t broken stereotypes about Islam yet, it might intrigue you to know that she was 40 years old when she married Muhammad. He was 25. She was an ideal wife; theirs was a true love story.

“Your wives are a garment for you, and you are a garment for them” (Quran 2: 187).

Taking multiple wives was a common practice, yet Khadija and Muhammad’s marriage was monogamous until her death 25 years later. Muhammad’s prophethood began during his marriage to Khadija, when he received the first of God’s revelations through the Angel Gabriel that left him frightened, strained and feeling alone when no one believed in him. Khadija comforted her husband and encouraged him during the most difficult days of his life. She bore him six children. He loved no one more than Khadija during his lifetime."
