			Tadija to individuals who are not
Muslim, as you often hear, she was
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			a businesswoman. She was older
than the Prophet sallallahu.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			Alayhi wasallam, she was a widow.
She proposed to him. Salaam.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:12
			Alaihi Wasallam, look at how
empowered women are in Islam. A
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			widow or a woman who was divorced
is older than her husband by a
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			lot. A woman who is a
businesswoman, a woman who wants
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			to propose to a man in our
community are any of those words
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			regularly, words that we use to
talk about how wonderful the women
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			in our community are, or do we
tokenize those items? Express them
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			to say, Look at how beautiful
Islam is, but women who are
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			struggling in our community do not
feel that same love. And the
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam received the rabbi
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			wasallam. He ran to Khadija,
comforted him, someone who cared
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			for her and the mothering that she
cared so much for her children,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			who we know of her as a political
rebel. Khadija Allahu, anha didn't
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			simply accept a message that said,
Change your private belief and
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			tell no one. Yo RadiAllahu, anha
accepted a belief which brought
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			societal and economic
transformation that is a political
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			revolution.
