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