Woman. What images appear in your mind when you hear the word woman? A woman may be understood according to the role that she may be playing in her life – a devoted daughter, a charming sister, a modest wife, or a caring mother. These threads are part of the fabric of a woman’s personality. They are radiantly displayed in her surroundings when she is engaged as a strong contributor in instilling ethics, passing along cultural-values, and creating generous opportunities. Some of the great women in Islamic history may or may not have worn veils, but they surely donned their veils of abilities, talents, wisdom, and enlightenment.
The present article, the first in the series, is about Hazart Bibi Khadijah, who was the first and only wife of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) until her passing (Sayeed, p. 35). She “endured many of the burdens of the call to Islam with the Prophet (pbuh) at the beginning of his message” (Bewley, p. 94).
