Condolence on the Demise Anniversary of Khadijah (PBUH)
Having outstanding substantial characteristics, Khadijah (PBUH) was one of the very well-known Arab women since her daughterhood. As the first Arab tradeswoman, her reputation had travelled all around the Arab dynasty as a great lady, even before getting married to the Prophet (PBUH&HF). Before Islam, she was extremely careful about trading rules so as not to have anything haraam in her trade, and that had made a great wealth for her. It has been written in the history books that her thousands of camel were all the time in trade and travel in Egypt, Syria, Ethiopia and Hijaz with successful footprint.
Meanwhile another unique person called “Muhammad Amin” (trustworthy Muhammad) was concurrent with this lady. Having a long story, Khadijah (PBUH) had decided not to get re-married after the death of her second husband; however, meeting a high attitude person such as Muhammad (PBUH&HF) changed her mind to propose the marriage, and then her wealth to the Prophet (PBUH&HF).
Within the troubles and difficulties that the Prophet (PBUH&HF), his message and Muslims had after the rise of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF), not only was Khadijah (PBUH) a great support, companion and comforter, she had a role similar to a mother to the Muslims to keep them energetic for the purpose they had. Her extraordinary patience and enormous strength in withstanding against the problem were patterns for the Muslims. Furthermore, she did never withhold her wealth on the way of Islam, and backed the Prophet (PBUH&HF) to progress and boost his message.
Being the mother of the greatest lady of the whole creation, Fatimah (PBUH) is sufficient to demonstrate the level of Khadijah (PBUH), and would be enough to show what a great woman Khadijah (PBUH) was. She had so high personality that once when Gabriel (PBUH) was descending some verses of Quran for the Prophet, informed the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) that, “O’ the Messenger of Allah, convey the unique Allah’s salaam to Khadijah”. When the Messenger of Allah delivered the salaam to Khadijah, she answered, “The Almighty Allah Himself is the salaam itself [and its meaning], and the commence of salaam is from Him; my salaams and greetings to you Gabriel (PBIH)…”.
Losing her in the situation of sanction was a huge loss for the Prophet (PBUH&HF), and actually, the Messenger of Allah did not lose a wife but his biggest support and protect.
