Hazrat Khadija bint Khuwailid (RA), the first wife of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), passed away in Makkah at the age of 65 and was buried in the historic graveyard of Jannat al-Mu’alla, also known as Al-Hajun, located in Makkah. This site holds great significance as it is the final resting place of many prominent individuals from the early days of Islam.

Hazrat Khadija (RA) was the first person to accept Islam and supported the Prophet (PBUH) emotionally, financially, and spiritually during the most difficult early years of his mission. Her death occurred around the 10th year of Prophethood, a time of immense sorrow for the Prophet (PBUH), and the same year also saw the death of his beloved uncle Abu Talib. This year became known as “Aam al-Huzn” — the Year of Grief.

Jannat al-Mu’alla remains a historically significant cemetery, and Hazrat Khadija’s (RA) grave is among the most respected. Though no distinct grave markers exist today due to later demolitions, the location continues to be recognized and honored by Muslims around the world.
