Zaynab Ansari – The Most Successful Marriage Part 2 Support

Welcome to Muslimah Media. I'm Zayna Bonsari, and

I'm delighted to talk about the most successful

marriage of prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

and lady Khadija

For so for our second installment, I want

to talk about Khadija

as faithful Muslim. Because remember, we're talking about

the ingredients of a successful marriage, and it

is my contention that if we want our

marriage to have a strong foundation and to

be successful and to flourish,

that the foundation of marriage in Islam is

faith. And that is why the marriage of

the prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,

and Khadija was so strong and so loving.

It's because of their deep and abiding faith.

Faith in Allah

faith in God most high and also faith

in each other. So Khadija epitomizes the faithful,

loyal wife.

Just to give you an example of that,

when the prophet, peace and blessings be upon

him, used to retreat to the outskirts of

Mecca, and he would climb Jabal Anur, the

mountain of light, and he would visit the

cave of Hera, right, where he received the

first revelation.

Khadija was very patient, she didn't complain. Prior

to receiving revelation,

our beloved prophet actually had gotten into into

the habit of making retreat in this particular

mountain,

for sometimes days or weeks at a time,

he'd be gone for a while. And Khadija

didn't complain about why are you gone? Why

do you have to go on these retreats?

Why do you have to leave? She would

actually

herself

take the supplies and provisions to the prophet

when he ran out because she was just

so supportive of what he was doing. Again,

she is a completely faithful wife. So when

on this momentous

night, the prophet, peace and blessings be upon

him, comes to Khadija and says,

I beheld this awe inspiring,

frightening, tremendous presence, and I fear that I'm

losing my mind. Her response was a very

wise and sagacious response.

She didn't pepper the prophet with questions.

She was silent.

She brought his cloak to him when he

said

cover me cover me. She brought his cloak

to him and just sat quietly by his

side, giving him time to collect himself.

Again, a very wise woman. And then when

she saw that he was ready, he began

to recount to her what had happened

on the mountain top.

And Khadija, think about it, she could have

responded with with skepticism,

could have said, are you sure?

But the first thing she says is, you

know what? Allah would never disgrace you. Because

remember, prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon

him, is saying, I fear my lord has

disgraced me with this with this thing that's

happening to me. And she said, no. Wallahi,

Allah would never disgrace you. Why? You are

good to your family.

Right?

You assist the poor and the destitute. You're

generous to your guests, and you're always in

aid of those who've been afflicted by calamity.

This was her response to the prophet sallallahu

alayhi wasallam.

And she said,

right? She believed in Allah on the spot.

She became the first Muslim. She believed in

Allah Ta'ala

and in the mission of her husband who

was chosen to be the last and final

prophet to all of humanity.

History attests to the fact that Khadija was

the first Muslim, the first believer. Gabriel Jibril

himself would come down to the prophet and

say, give my salaams to your household. Give

my salaams to Khadija

She was the first person that the to

whom the prophet taught wudu

ablution,

purifying before prayer, and the prayer itself, they

would pray as a couple. So again, she

epitomizes

the faithful wife. Missus Khadija

married to the prophet, the best of humanity,

and they indeed had the most successful marriage.

Thank you so much on behalf of Muslim

Amiriya. Assalamu alaikum.
