Before you read
This book tells the life of a Mother of the Believers. It makes nothing up: no words, no thoughts, no scenes. What is established is written plainly, what the biographers report is presented as such, and where scholars differ, a box gives the opinions. The paintings in the book do not depict any person.
Sound familiar?
You know her name. But do you know her story?
Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) is often summed up in one sentence: the first wife, the businesswoman. But her life, her words and what she left behind are scattered across videos and unsourced stories.
