    About this ebook

    Khadija was the first wife of Prophet Muhammad. Her extraordinary personality and strength cause her to stand out on the pages of history. She was the first person to embrace Islam, and she stood behind the Prophet and lent him strength as he went through unbearable stress and suffering. A highly successful businesswoman, she was the one who proposed to the Prophet despite being 15 years older and a widowed mother. Her devotion as a believer, her loyalty as a wife, her success as a businesswoman and her admirable skills as a mother make her an inspiration and a role model for Muslim women today in every phase and domain of life.

      Foreword

      In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

      There may be innumerable books that shed light on the life of Khadija (RA); however, her ‘larger than life’ personality necessitates that we keep dwelling deeper into her individuality. Whether it be her devotion as a believer, her loyalty as a wife, her success as a business woman or her meritorious skills as a mother, Khadija (RA) proves to be an amazingly inspirational woman in every phase and domain of life.

      It was heartfelt admiration for Khadija (RA) that provided me with the impetus to work on this particular translation. I hope and pray that Allah (SWT) grants us the ability to extract, learn and treasure precious lessons from the life of someone so worthy of emulation.

      I would like to thank Mr. Sohaib Umar for his help with the formatting and editing of this booklet. Lastly, special thanks to my husband Tariq Raza for his care and support.

      Khadija (RA)

      A Role Model for Muslim Women

      Who was Khadija (RA)

      Her name was Khadija (RA). She was honoured with the title of Tahira, meaning pure. Her family name was Umm-e-Hind. Her genealogical chain is: Khadija bint Khwaylid bin Asad bin Abdul Uzza bin Qussay. It is at Qussay that her genealogical chain meets that of the Holy Prophet (SAW).

      Birth

      Khadija (RA) was born in Makkah in 556 A.D., about 15 years before the year of the elephant (Aam ul Feel).

      Early Life

      Although chronological records do not provide us with much detail regarding her childhood years, it is historically proven that her mother was Fatima bint Zayeda, while her father, a prominent member of the Quraish tribe, was Khwaylid bin Asad.

      Banu Asad, the tribe to which Khadija (RA) belonged, had been entrusted with the administration of Darun Nadwa. During those times Darun Nadwa performed the role of a modern day parliament house, functioning as a platform for consultation and decision making where an exchange of ideas regarding crucial matters would take place. In addition to managing
