The honor of being the first convert to Islam belongs to a lady, Hazrat Khadijah (R.A), the noble wife of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). When the Prophet (ﷺ) received the first revelation in the Cave of Hira through Angel Jibreel (A.S), he returned home shaken and narrated the experience to his wife. Hazrat Khadijah (R.A) immediately believed in his Prophethood and accepted Islam without any hesitation.

Her acceptance and support were not only the beginning of Islam’s spread but also a source of strength for the Prophet (ﷺ) in those early and challenging days. Later, young Hazrat Ali (R.A) was the first boy to accept Islam, Hazrat Zaid ibn Harithah (R.A) was the first freed slave, and Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (R.A) was the first adult male companion to embrace Islam.

This sequence shows how Islam first spread within the closest circle of the Prophet (ﷺ). The role of Hazrat Khadijah (R.A) is especially significant because her faith, encouragement, and financial support helped lay the foundation of the early Muslim community.
