It turned into she who offered herself in marriage to the Holy Prophet Muhammad SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam who turned into associated with her in her buying and selling ventures. From the time of her marriage with the Holy Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam till her death, over a duration of 20 years, she gave her husband ease of occasions, and deep love and devotion.
In spite of conspicuous difference in age, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah’s SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam love for Sayyidah “khadija bint khuwaylid”   Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha never wavered. When demise parted her from the Beloved Nabi SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam after having shared with him for 28 years the toils and trials of existence, especially the primary ten years of his Ministry of Prophethood, he deeply mourned her loss of life. Once Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha requested him if she had been the simplest lady worthy of his love. Sayyiduna Rasoolullah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam responded in an honest burst of gentle emotion:
“She believed in me while none else did. She embraced Islam when people disbelieved me. And she helped and comforted me while there has been none else to lend me a assisting hand.”
In the heart of the Holy Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam thankful and affectionate remembrance of her remained sparkling till the very give up of his lifestyles. The Holy Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam remained proper and loyal to Sayyidah “khadija bint khuwaylid”   Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha till he changed into over 50 years vintage. This were the case at a time while polygamy became ordinary the various Arabs. Moreover, considering no male offspring of Sayyidah Khadija Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha survived, he had all the vital justification to marry any other lady considering that new child daughters have been usually buried alive and male offspring on my own appeared as rightful heirs.
Before Sayyiduna Rasoolullah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam announced his Prophethood he had lived 17 years of married lifestyles, and thereafter 11 greater years with out ever deliberating marriage with some other female. He become kind to all her fellows and once in a while despatched them presents.
“Never turned into I jealous of any of the Prophet’s wives”, stated Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha, “but”Hazrat Khadija”, although I by no means saw her. Her sweet memory by no means blurred within the Prophet’s SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam coronary heart. Once I harm his feelings in this difficulty and he replied gravely, ‘Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala has blessed me together with her love.'”
Sayyiduna “Hazrat Khadija” Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha bore the Beloved Habeeb SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam seven kids, the primary born turned into named Sayyiduna Qaasim Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anho, after whom, in line with Arab custom, the Holy Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam received the Kunya “Abul Qaasim” or “the daddy of Qaasim”. Then had been born Sayyiduna Tayyab Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha and Sayyiduna Taahir Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anhum Ajmaa’een. All of them exceeded away of their infancy. Amongst the daughters Sayyidah Ruqayya Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha was the eldest, then came Sayyidah Zaynab Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha, Sayyidah Umm Kulthoom Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha and the ultimate and satisfactory acknowledged of them changed into Sayyidah Faatima Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ja’far Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha stated that he heard Sayyiduna Ali Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anho saying in Kufa that Allah’s Messenger SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam said:
“The nice of the ladies of her time turned into Mariam Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha, daughter of Imran, and the first-rate of the girls of her time become ““khadija bint khuwaylid”  Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha, daughter of Khuwailid. Abu Kuraib said that Waki’ pointed in the direction of the sky and the earth. What this means is that Mariam Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha and Khadija Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha have been quality of their respective instances now not only amongst the creatures of the earth, however of the heaven too.”
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayra Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha reported that Sayyiduna Jibra’eel Alaihis Salam came to Allah’s Messenger SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam and said:
“Allah’s Messenger! Khadija is coming to you with a vessel of pro food or drink. When she involves you, provide her greetings from her Lord, the Exalted and Glorious, and on my behalf and deliver her glad tidings of a palace of jewels in Paradise in which there’s no noise and no toil”.
This Hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayra Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha thru any other chain of transmitters with a slight variant of wordings.
Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha stated that Allah’s Apostle SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam gave happy tidings to Sayyidah Khadija bint Khuwailid Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha of a palace in Paradise. Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha similarly suggested:
“Never did I feel jealous of any female, as I changed into jealous of Khadija Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha. She had died 3 years before the Holy Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam married me. I often heard him praise her, and his Lord, the Exalted and Gracious, had commanded him to offer her the glad tidings of a palace of jewels in Paradise, and on every occasion he slaughtered a sheep he presented its meat to her woman companions”.
In every other Hadith, Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha introduced:
“I aggravated him someday and stated, ‘It is Khadija Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha only who usually prevails upon your mind’. Thereupon, Allah’s Messenger SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam said, ‘Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala Himself had nurtured Her love in my heart.'”
Sayyidah Ayesha Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha mentioned that Allah’s Messenger SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam did not marry every other female till Sayyidah Khadija’s Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha dying. The point is why did Allah’s Messenger SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam not marry for the duration of the lifetime of Sayyidah “Hazrat Khadija”  Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha but, after her unhappy dying, he married several better halves. The reality is that the Holy Prophet of Islam SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam married all his better halves from the point of view of non secular necessity.
At the age of twenty-five, he married Sayyidah “khadija bint khuwaylid”  Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anha who turned into forty and she or he remained with him for the sector of a century as a wonderful supply of energy and comfort to him. During this period the Holy Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam changed into busy in instilling in the minds of the people the basics of faith, Oneness of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala, Apostlehood of Muhammad SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam, existence after loss of life. He did not experience the necessity of marrying any other female because it turned into most effective within the matter of faith and notion that he needed to strive hard with mankind.
After his migration to Madinatul Munawwara when the Islamic society was hooked up and the Muslims have been required to conform their personal and social behaviour to the coaching of Islam, revelations for sensible steering in all walks of existence came from Almighty Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala. This had to be explained in numerous locations and in distinct spheres through the existence examples of the Holy Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam. There turned into now not one hassle however numerous problems and maximum of them have been social which wanted answers at each step. Thus, it turned into felt that a set of women must study in Islamic beliefs and it was performed via the better halves of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam. It was no longer an everyday work, however an essential venture of sizeable value, which required the sweat, and labour of such a lot of pious souls and these have been the noble wives of the Holy Prophet of Islam SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam.
