Khadija: The First Muslim and the Wife of the Prophet Muhammad

Khadija: The First Muslim and the Wife of the Prophet Muhammad by Resit Haylamaz presents a detailed biographical account of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, one of the most influential figures in early Islamic history. Often overshadowed in popular narratives, Khadijah emerges in this work as a woman of remarkable agency, business acumen, and spiritual conviction whose role in the foundation of Islam extended far beyond her marriage to the Prophet.

Haylamaz draws on classical Islamic sources and historical records to reconstruct Khadijah's life across seventh-century Arabia. The narrative traces her rise as a successful merchant in Meccan society - a position of considerable autonomy for a woman of her era - before her encounter with Muhammad and her immediate acceptance of his prophetic mission. Her unwavering support during the early, difficult years of Islamic preaching, when the nascent community faced fierce opposition and hardship, is documented with scholarly attention to period detail.

The book addresses Khadijah's thirteen-year marriage, her children, her economic contributions to the Muslim community, and her legacy in Islamic tradition and theology. Haylamaz contextualizes her life within the social and religious landscape of pre-Islamic and early Islamic Arabia, offering readers a grounded historical perspective rather than hagiography. This is valuable reading for anyone interested in Islamic history, women's roles in religious movements, or biographical studies of the Prophet's era.
