Hazrat Khadijat-ul-Kubra (R.A), the first wife of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the first woman to accept Islam, is buried in Mecca at the sacred cemetery of Jannat al-Mu'alla (also known as Al-Hajun). She passed away in 10th year of Prophethood, a year known as Aam-ul-Huzn (Year of Sorrow) due to the passing of both Hazrat Khadija (R.A) and Abu Talib.

Her resting place is highly revered in Islamic history because she played a vital role in the early support of Islam, providing financial help, comfort, and unwavering faith to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) during the most challenging times of the message of Islam.

Although Jannat-ul-Baqee in Madina is a well-known burial ground for many of the Prophet’s family members and Companions, Hazrat Khadija (R.A) passed away before the migration to Madina, hence she was buried in Mecca.
