Chapter 24: Khadeejah رضي هللا عنها the first to embrace Islaam<br />
Ibn Is-ḥaaq said: Thereafter, the Revelation came frequently to the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
fully believed in what he was receiving from His Lord. He accepted it ﷺ And he .ﷺ<br />
willingly and because of it bore the burden of people’s pleasure and displeasure. The<br />
Prophethood brings with it burdens and tasks that can only be borne by Messengers<br />
who are – through <strong>Al</strong>laah’s support and help – strong and determined. Their burdens<br />
arise from the reactions that they face from the people, and their rejection of the<br />
.عزُوجل Message which they bring from <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
The Prophet ﷺ continued to carry out all that <strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل had ordered him to do,<br />
despite the opposition and harm he received from his people.<br />
And Ibn Is-ḥaaq also said: Khadeejah Bint Khuwailid believed in him, and testified to the<br />
Truth which he ﷺ had brought from <strong>Al</strong>laah, and supported him in his affairs. She was<br />
the first one to believe in <strong>Al</strong>laah and His Messenger, and to testify to the Truth which<br />
he ﷺ had brought.<br />
<strong>Al</strong>laah تعاىل eased the burden of His Messenger through her. Whenever he ﷺ suffered<br />
some unpleasant reaction or painful rejection, <strong>Al</strong>laah تعااىل would comfort him through<br />
her. Whenever he ﷺ would return to her, she would give him strength and alleviate<br />
his pain. She would express her belief in him and make light of the opposition he would<br />

Narrated Abu Hurairah :رضيُاهللُعنه Jibreel عليهُالسالم came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ❝<br />
O Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah! Here is Khadeejah coming to you with a dish having meat<br />
soup. When she reaches you, greet her on behalf of her Lord (<strong>Al</strong>laah) and on my<br />
behalf, and give her the glad tidings that she will have a palace in Paradise built of<br />
Qasab (hollowed-out pearls) wherein there will be neither any noise nor any fatigue<br />
(trouble).❞ 168<br />
