WAFAT: HAZRAT KHADIJA (SA)

Khadijah bint Khuwaylid or Khadija bint Khuwaylid (Arabic: خديجة بنت خويلد‎) (555 or 567 CE[1] – 22 November 619 CE) was the first wife and first follower of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Khadijah was the daughter of Khuwaylid ibn Asad, a leader of Quraysh tribe in Mecca, and a successful businesswoman in her own right.

Khadijah is often referred to by Muslims as "Mother of the Believers", as are other wives of Muhammad. She is one of the most important female figures in Islam, along with her daughter, Fatimah. Muhammad was monogamously married to her for 25 years. The number of children she bore before and to Muhammad is disputed, but it is generally agreed that they had six to eight children together. After the death of Khadijah, Muhammad re-married.
