The woman of dignity

 The woman of dignity


Khadija Amjad 


Hazrat Khadija Binte Khuwaylid was the first wife of the Prophet PBUH. She was a business women of  honor , her character and her personality. She was married before and had children too but was twice widowed. When she dealt with the Prophet PBUH she used hhe Prophet PBUH to take care of her business to Syria she was impressed by hhe Prophet's PBUH honesty and truthfulness due to which she proposed the Prophet PBUH to marry her which the Prophet PBUH and his family accepted. She just did this due to the Prophet PBUH honesty and truthfulness as the Prophet PBUH was not even rich and there was also alot of age difference, the Prophet PBUH was 25 years old while Hazrat Khadija (RA) was 40. Hazrat Ali (RA) reported that "The best woman in their time were two Hazrat Mariyam (RA) was best in her time and Hazrat Khadija (RA) was best in not only her time in Dunya but also in Akhira. 


There was something very unique about her that no other Human Being outsides the Prophet PBUH had it. The Prophet PHUH was at home and Jibraeel (AS) came to him and said,"Khadija is going to come and bring you some food and drink. And when she brings it tell her 'Allah has sent his greetings and give her the glad tidings of a house in Jannah from read and she will not have any pain and sorrow in it.' 


What did she do that Allah sent his greetings to her? When the Prophet came to his house after his experience of the first revelation frightened and overwhelmed when he came in he said to his wife cover me cover me then he told her the whole incident . Her response to the Prophet PBUH is the thing thay made her special. The Prophet PBUH came I am really worried. She said "Don't worry have glad tidings by Allah,  

Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your kinsmen you are always there when people need you you speak the truth , you serve the guest generously." She then took the Prophet PBUH her cousin Waraqah bin Naufal. Waraqah bin Naufal said to him " 'This is the same Nemus (Jibreel) who came to Musa (AS). I wish if I were alive and could live up to the time your people would turn out to you'. The Prophet PBUH asked 'Will they drive me out?' Waraqah answered in an affirmative and said anyone how came up with something familiar to what you have brought were treated hostily and if I live up to that time I will support you strongly. '"


The second reason what made Hazrat Khadija (RA) special was that she was the first person  to accept Islam. She was the only one who gave the Prophet PBUH children. 

Hazrat Ayesha (RA) reported the Prophet PBUH to have said "She believed in me when others disbelieved in me. And she confirmed me when people contradicted me. And she shared her wealth with me when others created disruption in my means of livelihood and Allah gave me children from her while it was not so in other case."


From the life of Hazrat Khadija (RA) we learn alot of lessons as she supported the Prophet PBUH in his difficult time and was also known for her character and personality that should be an exemplar for women all around the world who ask for independence and fights,Hazrat Khadija being a women led her business in the most supreme manner possible as well as brought up her kids in the best demeanour.
