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.
