Hazrat Khadijah (Allah be pleased with her) was a brave, wise and gentle lady.  She was the best in her linage, the best in her piety and more prosperous than all of her people.  She first appointed her friend Nufaysah to identify if the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam would be interested in the marriage proposal.  The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam married Hazrat Khadijah (Allah be pleased with her) when he was 25 years of age and she was 40 years of age.

It was a luminous moment in Makah of Monday Morning, 12^th Rabi-ul-Awwal, when Hazrat Aminah (Allah be pleased with her), was bestowed with the Light of Eternal Bliss, Endless Happiness and Infinite Exhilaration.

 And your Lord has commanded not to worship anyone else except Him and you should show kindness to your parents.  Whether one or both of them reach old age in your presence, do not say ´Ugh!´ to them out of irritation and do not be harsh with them but speak to them with great respect and keep bowing before them with humility and tender heart..  Take them under your wing, out of mercy, with due humility and say: ´O my Lord, have mercy on them as they did care for me when I was small.´
[Surah al Isra 17, Verse 23, 24]
