SAYYIDATINA KHADIJA
The 10th of Ramadhan marks the passing ahead of the Mother of Believers, Sayyidatina Khadija (Radhy Allahu Anha).
She came from a very respected family of Quraish. She was the first wife of the Holy Prophet ﷺ and continued to be his wife for about 28 blessed years. She was also the first woman to accept Islam.
The Holy Prophet ﷺ said, "She believed in me when no one else did; she accepted Islam when people rejected me, and she helped and comforted me when there was no else to lend me a helping hand." (Bukhari).
The Holy Prophet ﷺ also said, "The best of women among the people of Paradise are Khadija bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Maryam bint 'Imran and 'Asiyah bint Muzahim, the wife of Pharaoh." (Musnad Ahmed 2896).
Sayyidatina Khadija (Radhy Allahu Anha) was so pious that Angel Jibreel (A.S) once came down and told the Holy Prophet ﷺ to convey peace and blessings of Allah to her. Sayyidatina Khadija (Radhy Allahu Anha) heard this and exclaimed "Did Allah Almighty mention my name?" The Holy Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, Indeed." She replied, "And unto Allah be all the blessings and peace."
