it was here that He met the love of His life- Khadija
Khadija was one of the most beautiful and noble woman around,
and she was from a very wealthy family.
But she was a widow.
Inspite of being a widow,
many wealthy and prominent men in the society asked her hand in marriage
But she rejected them all, as she had lost the desire to marry again.
It was only until Prophet Muhammad (saw) entered her life.
Khadija was looking for someone honest who could conduct business for her.
It was then that she got introduced to the Prophet
She learned that even though He was an orphan and poor,
He came from a noble family.
This man was of impeccable moral character,
The Prophet soon started working for her,
and set out for His first business trip, followed by a servant
After they came back, she asked her servant about Prophet’s conduct
The servant amazed her by his report!
“This young man is the kindest I have ever seen” He said.
“He never treated me harshly, as many others do!”
“And when we were travelling in the desert under the scorching sun,
there was always a cloud following us, providing us the shade!”
Not only that, this new employee proved to be a very good businessman as well!
First he sold the merchandise she gave to Him.
