“Recite the Qur’an with measured recitation.” (Al-Muzzammil 73:4)
“Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction.” (An-Naḥl 16:125)

Khadijah (ra) in Focus: Approaching Her Biography with Adab
Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (ra), honored as one of the Mothers of the Believers (Al-Aḥzāb 33:6), was the Prophet’s first and unwavering supporter. Studying her life is an act of reverence, not curiosity.
A gentle framework to adopt at home or in class:
- Define your scope. Begin with concise, teacher-reviewed sīrah materials. Use Arabic terms with a trusted English translation (King Fahd Complex).
- Build a timeline. Early years and noble character → her marriage to the Prophet → the first revelation → her steadfast support and community impact.
- Highlight key virtues. Patience, prayer, honesty, generosity, family care.
- Reflect and respond. Journal milestones with related verses or hadith, values, and weekly actions.
- Share with others. Retell a short story to strengthen understanding and emotional connection.
“The best of you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.” (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5027)
