Hazrat Khadija (RA) holds a unique and honored place among the Umm-ul-Momineen (Mothers of the Believers) as she was the first wife of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the first to accept Islam. She was also the first Umm-ul-Momineen to pass away. Her death occurred in the 10th year of Prophethood, on the 10th of Ramadan, a year that later came to be known as the Year of Sorrow (Aam al-Huzn) due to her passing and the death of the Prophet’s (SAW) uncle, Abu Talib (RA).

Hazrat Khadija (RA) was an extraordinary woman: wealthy, intelligent, and deeply spiritual. Her support of the Prophet (SAW) during the early difficult years of Islam was unmatched. She provided emotional and financial support, ensured the protection of the Prophet (SAW) from Quraysh hostility, and was a pillar of strength in the growing Muslim community.

Being the first Umm-ul-Momineen to die, Hazrat Khadija’s (RA) legacy set a benchmark of devotion, faith, and sacrifice for all women in Islam.
