Marriage to Sayyidah Khadijah

A marriage of trust, affection and steadfast support at the heart of the Prophetic household.

Sayyidah Khadijah bint Khuwaylid رضي الله عنها, a respected merchant, entrusted Muhammad ﷺ with trade and learned of his exceptional honesty. Their marriage became a home of affection, dignity and mutual loyalty. They raised a family together, and he never forgot her courage or generosity.

When revelation later came with an overwhelming responsibility, Khadijah was the first to believe and reassure him. She placed her wealth, standing and heart in the service of the truth. Their relationship shows that the Seerah is also a history of family support, shared sacrifice and faith expressed through constancy.
