“Allah would never humiliate you, for you are good to your relatives, you are true to your word, you help those who are in need, you support the weak, you feed the guest and you answer the call of those who are in distress.” She had such strong trust in what her husband the Prophet (ﷺ) told her that she said: Going back to the incident when the Prophet (ﷺ) was in Cave Hira and angel Jibril (alayhis salaam) came asking him to read, after which, the Prophet (ﷺ) was shaken up and ran to Khadijah (r.a.) for comfort. Everything was by Allah’s plan, so what we can learn from her is looking ahead with optimism knowing also that everything happens by the will of Allah (s.w.t.). Indeed, she was right for she ended up marrying the best of mankind our Prophet (ﷺ). She had the conviction of being optimistic about her situation in that marrying more than once and she knew that there would be ease for her. ![]() Let’s be straight, divorce is so common these days, our sisters lose hope and never want to get married again after a terrible ordeal and the same goes with the death of a spouse but let’s learn from this great woman. Don’t see it as ‘his role’ because this may lead you to be ungrateful and greedy.īefore our mother Khadijah (r.a.) married the Prophet (ﷺ), she was married twice and had children from previous marriage. We should show our appreciation and thank our husband more, a lot more, for everything that he is providing for us. Nowadays, I know men are stronger earners than women but that doesn’t mean that we as wives cannot cut them some slack and pay for some things ourselves (if we are able to) or even choose to treat our husband to a dinner outside and so on. We all know that the husband is the provider and breadwinner of the household but can we not contribute if we are able to? Khadijah (r.a.) used to spend on the Prophet (ﷺ) and she used to provide for him. We must learn to be humble like Khadijah (r.a.) because we must remember that everything is from Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala – s.w.t.) Now in this day and age, when we get a little bit of success in the form of education or materialistic items like phones or cars, we find it so easy to boast about our achievements and we don’t stop until the world has heard about it. ![]() She in fact, used a lot of her wealth to buy foods and distribute to the people, especially, during the boycott from the clans of Quraysh. She came from a prestigious family but that did not make her arrogant, she was humble with her status and being a wealthy businesswoman did not make her greedy. She has so many strong qualities which we can all benefit from. However, we should not forget about our mothers, the honourable wives of the Prophet (ﷺ), Khadijah (Radi Allahu ‘anha – r.a.) is the perfect example of a wife and one we should learn from. ![]() From a young age, as children we are taught the importance of learning the Seerah and knowing about the Prophet’s (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam – ﷺ) life in detail.
