This work is part of a series entitled ‘Leading Companions of the Prophet’ and what better way to begin than with the first Muslim to embrace Islam and the rock in the life of the Prophet Muhammad (ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wasallam), Khadija bint Khuwaylid.The book has been written by Reṣit Haylamaz and translated from the original Turkish by Hulya Cosar. It is the story of one of the most remarkable women to step foot on the earth. As you would expect it is interwoven in to the life of the Prophet Muhammad (ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wasallam). It begins by detailing the life of Khadija prior to her marriage to the Prophet Muhammad (ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wasallam). I don’t think a lot of information is generally available regarding this period hence the scarce details are understandable. It does however offer enough to contextualise the environment and her beginnings with her noble family. It makes mention of her previous marriages and offspring as well as her reputation as one leading an upright life, known for her dignity and elegance even in the Age of Ignorance (jāhiliyyāh).The introduction of the Prophet Muhammad (ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wasallam) in to the life of Khadija is preceded by signs indicating his radiance. What follows is a story about the perfect love they had for each other and a model for all spouses. Khadija is a woman to be admired, an international business woman, sophisticated and pure. She was known as “Tahira” meaning “pure and clean”, and amongst the locals she was called “Sayidda”, meaning “a great lady” and as the saying goes behind every great man there is a great woman. She was unparalleled in her support for the Prophet Muhammad (ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wasallam).
