Islam Guidance

Lady Khadija (S.A) is a perfect role model for all the Muslims all over the world. The sacrifices made by her and her contributions for spreading Islam are innumerable. Her famous title was Malikat-ul-Arab.
The biggest virtue of lady Khadija (S.A) is that Allah (S.W.T) acknowledged her sacrifices and revealed the following verse for her when She (S.A) have all the wealth to Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P):
"And when we found you in need, we made you needless"
[Sura 93 (Zuha): Verse 8]
Some virtues of lady Khadija (S.A) are mentioned below:
1- Lady Khadija (S.A) got the title "SAYYIDATU NISA-IL-AALAMEEN" before her holiest daughter lady Fatima Zahra (S.A). [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
2- Lady Khadija (S.A) was on the path of Islam (Sharia of Ibrahim) before the Be'sat of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) & the proof is her marriage. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
3- Lady Khadija (S.A) did not have any idols at her palace nor was she seen worshipping any idol by any Arab. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
4- Aisha said: The best way to make Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) happy is to talk about Khadija. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
5- Lady Khadija (S.A) was amongst the best women of the world, such as herself, lady Fatima (S.A), lady Maryam (S.A) & Asiya (S.A). [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
6- She was the richest holy women ever born. She had uncountable riches. She had around 80000 camels which were taken on hire by all Arabs for business trip to different parts of the world. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
7- Khadija (S.A), Daughter of Khuwaylid, is one of the wealthy persons among Quraysh and her trade activities extend to Egypt and Ethiopia. [Ref: Bihar ul Anwar, Vol 16, Pg. 22]
8- Once lady Khadija (S.A) sent "Maysara" a slave with the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) for the business trip to Syria to know more about the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P). When lady Khadija (S.A) enquired from Maysarah about the incidents related to the journey of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) he narrated to her the miracles which he had seen from him and also what he had heard from the monk of Syria. Khadija (S.A) felt excessive emotion within herself, which had its origin in her interest in the spirituality of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H&H.P) and she said to Maysarah involuntarily "Maysarah! That will do. I hereby set you and your wife free and also place at your disposal two hundred dirhams, two horses and a costly dress. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]

Al-Aloosi one of the greatest Sunni scholars proves superiority of Lady Fatima to Aisha:
He writes in his book Rooh al-Maani in vol 2 page 150:
Some believe that Aisha is greater than Fatima. They based their claim on these reasons:
1. Prophet said: take two third of your religion from Aisha.
2. Aisha is with her husband, prophet in the paradise but Fatima is with her husband Ali then. And there is a big difference between prophet and Ali.
Here is Aloosi’s respond to this reasoning:
1. If the hadith is true, it only proves that she is knowledgeable and this doesn’t negate the same knowledge from Fatima. On the other hand had prophet known Fatima is alive long after him, he would have said about her: take your whole religion from her.
2. If this hadith is true, it entails that she is superior to her father, Abu bakr too because there is no such a hadith about him.
3. The Hadith of Thaghalayn indicates Fatima’s superiority and it is more reliable.
4. There are some hadiths that contradicts with Aisha’s superiority.
Ibn Jarir narrates from Ammar Ibn Saad that he said: Prophet said to me Khadija is superior to the women of my nation as Marry is superior to the women of the world.
5. If being the companion of the prophet in his home in the paradise is the reason for her superiority, so it entrails that the other wives of the prophet are superior even to the other prophets because they were his companions in his home in this world.
Then Aloosi says that in my idea Fatima is superior then Khadija and then Aisha. Surprisingly he asserts that if someone says that the other daughters of the prophet were superior to Aisha, I don’t find it wrong.
