In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful

Introduction

The booklet Hazrat Sayyedah Khadijah (ra) is another addition to the series of books published by the Children’s Book Committee. The booklet deals with the life history of Ummul Mo’mineen Hazrat Sayyedah Khadijah, may Allah be pleased with her. She is the ideal of womanhood in Islam. She was the first person to believe in the mission of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and readily gave all her belongings in the cause of Allah. She was married to the Holy Prophet (sas), but she was much more than a wife. She was the most capable advisor and the best companion of the Holy Prophet (sas). She was a great solace to the Holy Prophet (sas) when the whole of Makkah turned against him and the opponents tried their utmost to wipe out Islam from the face of the earth. The Children’s Book Committee is working under the guidance and instructions of Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta). May Allah bless its members for their dedication and hard work and reward them abundantly in this world and the Hereafter. A glossary of difficult words and expressions is also provided at the end. We hope that parents and children will welcome this publication.
