Virtues of Hazrat Khadijah (Part 1)

The great lady of Islam passed away in the 10th Hejira year at the age of 65. She supported the Prophet (PBUH) in his mission for 25 years sacrificing her life and wealth. Her death was a great loss to the Prophet (PBUH). Her sorrowful death happened three days after the death of Abu Talib, the great and affectionate supporter of the Prophet (PBUH).

The grieving and crying Prophet (PBUH) buried the dead body of Khadijah in a place known as Hujun.
