Once upon a time, a mature woman of 40 liked a younger man, who was 25. It’s easy to see why she liked him, as he was the best man of the tribe. He was handsome, intelligent, and pious. His nickname was “Trustworthy”.
The woman was a widow and a divorcee and felt she had no hope to aspire to his hand. She talked about it to a friend and expressed her wish to marry this young man. To her surprise, the man accepted to be her husband and they lived happily ever after.
She worked tirelessly to help him succeed in his community work. She was for him an advocate, financial support, moral thinker and guide. She was his backbone throughout their 13 year marriage.
The man was Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) and his wife was Lady Khadija. She was a crucial element in supporting Mohammed as Prophet and community worker.
