You want to hear a wonderful love story? Here’s one..
A man at the young age of 25, coming from noble lineage, a hard-worker loved by all and known for his honesty and even titled by it, marries a woman 15 years his senior twice divorced with 3 children, well known for her high standing among her people and exceptional charitable deeds throughout her life..
The most beautiful love formed, and together they lived for 25 years.
Facing his most profound experience, one that shook him to the core, he ran to find comfort, love and assurance in the arms of the woman he loves, his wife. And indeed she was there for him, strong, confident and compassionate. She believed in him from the first instance, supported him throughout all the hardships, never faltering, never doubting, always his sanctuary.
She passed away when he was at the age of 50, and it was devastating for him. He made it a point to constantly mention, never embarrassed to do so even in the most formal of gatherings, how she was the love of his life. Kept visiting and taking care of her family and friends till his final days.
Peace & Blessings of Allah Be Upon You Prophet Muhammad and Khadija Bent Khuwailed
