MRS. KHADIJA AL-KUBRA, HER PREACHERS AND THEIR EQUIVALENTS AND THE BOOKS WRITTEN IN THEM.


Praise be to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, his companions, and those who follow him.

This study focuses on introducing the commendable characteristics and great deeds of the noble lady Khadija Bint Khuwailid, as well as the narrations and literature composed about her. This will be done through a wide and careful investigation and tracking of what was written and narrated about her in addition to her biography and her commendable characteristics mentioned in the manuscripts as well as in the printed and lost works. We have made a great effort that might do right to that great and distinguished lady who was favoured by our noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). She believed him when people disbelieved him, and responded to his call when people disavowed and ignored him. She supported him with her money and prestige. She believed in his mission when people denied it. She dedicated herself to him when people stayed away from him. She remained on the path with patience and readiness until her death.

Jibreel has promised her a house in paradise made of gold and silver where there is no clamour or tiredness. It is the first woman to declare her Islam and the first to get the title of the Mother of Believers. She was most loved and attached to by the master of the messengers, peace be upon him.

 

This study was not preceded by any similar studies. It fills a gap in the Islamic library and therefore may be a good means to contribute to the preservation of our good ancestors’ good deeds, biographies, and narrations as well the literature composed

 about them.  The inductive method will be the methodology used in this study through investigating the manuscripts and printed works.

We ask Allah Almighty to make this effort beneficial to us and to the Muslims, as He is the Most Generous, who answers the supplications of whoever asks Him.
