Q.5.a. (i) Khadija. 

       Khadija; should touch upon following aspects of her life e.g. ancsstor,date of birth, early child hood, peculiarity, education, marriage in case of Khadija (R) one must mention her previous Husband’s names and children. How she became a rich lady basically because of the death of her father in “Harbull Fujar”, obviously all the prominent chief’s of Makkah and Taif wanted to marry her. According to some authentic sources she was a beautiful woman for her age. After her father’s death she was in need of an honest person to do business on her behalf. According to some sources Abu Talib recommended his nephew, famous for his honesty to Khadija (R) A point to note  (yet he was not unanimously given the title of Sadiq and Ameen by the Quarish though however his fame for honesty was well known. Some sources are of the view that Khadija her self had picked up this young Man. However the trade trips ultimately resulted into marriage, basically of the character of the Prophet (s). Latter he was formally known as “Sadiq” truthful and “Ameen” trustworthy. Prophet (s) was 25 and Khadija (R) was 40 years of age, this marriage proved to be extremely successful as in the days of ignorance Prophet (s) never married any one in her life, she was an epitome of a loving and caring wife.
