Hazrat Khadijah was the eyewitness to Islam’s founding. She backed Hazrat Muhammad and Islam from the very beginning, through the thick and thin when there were not enough supporters of Islam and Prophet of Allah till Islam stood strong as well as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Hazrat Jibrael spent 10 years bringing Revelations from Heaven to her house. Her house was the home of Islam and the Holy Quran.

Hazrat Khadijah was a well-known trader. When the Quraysh’s trade caravan travelers assembled to start on their summer voyage to Syria or their winter trek to Yemen, it is reported that Hazrat Khadijah’s caravan equaled the caravans of all other Quraish traders put together.

Throughout her life, Hazrat Khadijah stayed loyal to her better half and the cause. Due to her loyalty, Islam grew stronger in the most devastating times and she was the biggest support of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

When one’s partner is having troubles, a decent husband or wife soothes the other rather than aggravating the situation by raging and criticizing. Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) was the purest of creation, and Allah provided him with a companion who matched his exalted rank in terms of purity, and who served as his pillar of strength at one of Islam’s most critical moments.

3: Kindness

Hazrat Khadijah gladly embraced Islam as a faith that does not discriminate between the affluent and the poor. When a perfect chance to transfer riches to needy, unemployed individuals she did not turn it down. She even assisted young females in getting married by arranging endowments for them.

Hazrat Khadijah possessed such a high characteristic of taqwa that Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) characterized her in a hadith as “the best amongst the women” (Bukhari)

5: Financial Independency

Hazrat Khadijah’s example should inspire us- the female of the society, we should know that a woman can be a great wife, mother, and daughter but at the same time she can work, do business, and Excel in her career.

Hazrat Khadijah inherited her father’s talent and wealth as a young girl from the Quraysh clan in Mecca. Despite the fact that society at the time was overwhelmingly and dangerously male-dominated, she went about her job and gradually rose to prominence.

She would trade goods and hire men to defend her company as they traveled from Mecca through Yemen and then to Syria. As a result, her business grew to be larger than all of the Quraysh tribe’s combined organizations, which she achieved just via reasonable deals in spectacular items.

Conclusion

Islamic history is full of stories of independent, empowered women, as we discussed in our previous post on The Most Influential Women in Islamic History. Hazrat Khadijah’s life teaches us that a woman can be the reason for the strongest person’s strength either as a daughter, wife, or mother. Sometimes we might have to leave either a lifestyle or things that are favorable to us to lead a life that is favorite to Allah Almighty. Her life can be taken as a model to follow, in order to live a life that will lead to success in this life and the hereafter.
