Khadijeh(PBUH) Islam’s Mother

She was a world of dignity and decency. She was the best supporter and encourager for the Islam Prophet and stood against Islam’s enemies during her life. After her demise, whenever the Islam prophet heard her name, he was crying.
She was a faithful woman even before marriage with Islam prophet. Zobair Ebn Bakkar said “she was called Tahereh in age of ignorance”.
Although words are disabling to define her divine characteristic but we are going to describe a small part of her life.
She was the first wife of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. She is commonly regarded by Muslims as the "mother of Islam. When Muhammad reported his first revelation from the Angel Gabriel Jibril, Khadija was the first person (besides Muhammad) to convert to Islam. Khadija was supportive of Muhammad's prophetic mission, always helping in his work, proclaiming his message and belittling any opposition to his prophecies. It was her encouragement that helped Muhammad believe in his mission and spread Islam. Khadija also invested her wealth in the mission.
She was sick 3 years before Hijrat. Islam prophet visited her and cited “do you know you are my wife in heaven too?”.
He gave the promise of heaven and the highest level of service in there to her. When she was getting worse she said “oh prophet I have will, first I apologize if I could not serve you. Mohammad (pbuh) said “it is not your fault, you were trying too much in Islam, and you were tired in my house and spend all your properties for Islam”. She said “take care of my daughter pointed to Hazrat Zahra. She will be orphaned and homeless after me. No body annoyed or shouts her”.
I shammed to tell the third one. I will tell it to Fatima then she will quote for you” she said. Then he called Fatima and her mother said “I am afraid of grave, I want to be covered in his clothes”.
Then Fatima went out and quoted whatever her mother said. Mohammad) pbuh) sent that clothes for her and she was so glad. When she died, he washed her and put her coffin on. Suddenly Jibril descended and brought a heaven confine and said “Allah says hello and cited she spent her properties for us it is better that we provide her coffin”.
The great Muslim lady passed away on Ramadan 10th in the tenth year of Hijrah (prophet hood), 620 CE, at the age of 65. Her death was a great loss to the prophet. He loved Khadija so dearly that after her death, he used to remember her often.
He never forgot her and often praised her. Aisha said “Islam prophet appreciated her before going out. once the Prophet mentioned Khadija near Aisha, Aisha responded: "She was not but a such and such of an old lady, and Allah replaced her with a better one for you." He replied: "Indeed Allah did not grant me better than her; she accepted me when people rejected me, she believed in me when people doubted me, she shared her wealth with me when people deprived me, and Allah granted me children only through her."
Heshm-ebn Mohammad said “Islam prophet loved, respected and consulted with her because she was honest and she was the first woman who converted Islam. She was his only wife”.
Her demise was a disaster for prophet because she always supported him and other respected him.
Her properties were spending for Islam even after her death and her last properties was spend by Imam Ali for Hijrat.
The holy prophet was three days in Thor cave and Imam Ali brought food then he said “ oh Ali go on the top of the hill and shout and say if you have a loan or deposit come and receive it, then come to me . Take care of my daughter and Allah take care of you, then use Khadijeh ‘s properties and buy food and travel”.
Abu- Obaydeh (Ammar Yaser ‘s grandchild) said “Abi Rafe’s son quoted his father “ did he have any properties for buying two camels and food?”
Abi-Rafe’s answered “my father said the prophet cited there were not properties more useful that Khadija’s”.
Islam prophet said “you will have a house in heaven without pain”. When she died, Fatima was crying very much the prophet tried to calm her down by the did not success then Jibril descended and said “ Say Hello to Fatimah and say her mother has a house nearby Asieh pharaoh’s wife and Maryam Imran’s daughter. Then she calmed down.
