Khadija: this “Khadija-like one” ✨

Who is Khadija?
Can anyone like her be found?
❌ No, it cannot be!

Indeed, Khadija (SA) is the Messenger of God’s (PBUH) “prayer granted”!

✅ She is the interpretation of this noble verse:

«وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا»
(And those who say, “Our Lord, grant us comfort to our eyes through our spouses and children, and make us leaders for the God-fearing!”)

✅ Khadija is the interpretation of verse 74 of Surat al-Furqan!
✅ Among all spouses, which wife is the “chosen one”?
✅ Khadija is the Messenger’s (PBUH) delight!

✅ Indeed, Khadija is the Noble Messenger’s “prayer answered”!

Khadija: God’s special gift to the Messenger of God (PBUH) 🎁

✅ The Lord bestowed Khadija upon His Messenger!
✅ She was a “gift from God”!

✅ Yet Khadija knew Muhammad (PBUH) before he was commissioned as a messenger!
✅ By what “insight” did Khadija recognize Muhammad for who he was?

✅ She saw the “light of Muhammad”!
✅ She beheld the “light of prophethood” within Muhammad’s soul!
✅ And she fell in love with Muhammad!
✅ And became the Prophet’s wife!

✅ Khadija is the “bride of existence”!
✅ Indeed, Khadija is the “Bride of Creation”!

✅ Khadija brought joy to the worlds and all who dwell in them!
✅ This is Khadija—the very bride whose blessed presence brings joy to all the worlds!

✅ Khadija holds this exalted distinction:
✅ She is the “bride of prophethood”!
✅ She is the “bride of the prophetic mission”!
✅ She is God’s Prophet’s “delight”!

✅ And this is an exalted station!

✅ She is the wife of the “City of Knowledge”!
✅ She is the “bride of the Preserved Tablet and the Pen”!
✅ She is the companion of the crowns and diadems of creation!

✅ Indeed, Khadija is the “interpretation of night”!
✅ She is the “inner meaning of repose”!

✅ She is a being who “bears God’s weightiest trust”!
✅ Within her soul, she nurtured a “jewel” such as Fatima (SA)!

✅ Who could receive such a “weighty and mighty trust” in their heart?
✅ Indeed, Khadija is that lady!

Bearing God’s weightiest trust 🏔

✅ She bore God’s weightiest trust!
✅ A trust that even the mountains could not bear!

✅ This “bride” is truly the “Bride of the Prophet”!
✅ Yet she has a likeness…

✅ A “likeness on earth”
✅ A “heavenly likeness”
✅ A “celestial likeness”

✅ What is the majesty of this “Bride of Creation” in God’s celestial realm?
✅ Can we even guess?

❌ No, we cannot!

✅ Indeed, she is God’s “treasure”!
✅ Khadija is a “divine mystery”!

✅ Here on earth, we know only a “measured share” of Khadija’s wonders!

✅ But what unfolds at God’s Throne?
✅ There, the “likeness” of every divine creation exists!

✅ Creatures of the desert…
✅ Creatures of the sea…

✅ Can we now imagine the “likeness of Khadija”?

✅ What likeness does she have in the “Highest Kingdom”?
✅ What likeness does she have at the “Lofty Throne”?
✅ What manifestation does she have in the realms of “Might” and “Divinity”?

❌ It is beyond our comprehension!

✅ Khadija is a mystery among the divine mysteries!
✅ A “secret” among the secrets of creation!

✅ And tonight, the earth mourns the loss of this singular lady!
✅ May the denizens of the heavenly realm accept our condolences!

✅ اللهم صل علی محمد و آل محمد!

—### The Greatness of Lady Khadija (SA): Mother of the Night of Decree and Pillar of Prophethood and Imamate 🌹

✅ Know that everything outward has an inward dimension!
✅ If the outward is pure, the inward will be pure too!
✅ If the outward is vile, the inward will be vile too!

Can we now imagine Khadija’s inner reality?
❌ We cannot!

✅ She bears a “jewel” like Fatima (SA)!

Khadija (SA): The Pure Earth That Nurtured Fatima (SA) 🌿

✅ Khadija bears fruit that is “sweet,” “pure,” and “delightful”—Fatima (SA)!

✅ But what kind of “soil” is this?
✅ What kind of “field” is this
✅ that could nurture “Fatima” within itself?

✅ What can be said in praise of Khadija?
✅ Khadija is the “mother of the Night of Decree”!
✅ The “mother of the Night of Power”!

Khadija’s Station in Understanding the Night of Decree ✨

✅ Whoever truly knows “Fatima as she deserves to be known”…
✅ has indeed grasped the “Night of Decree”!

✅ Yes, such is the station of “Fatima”!
✅ And Khadija is “Fatima’s mother”!
✅ The “mother of the Night of Decree”!

✅ Now, if you are able, measure the “greatness of Khadija”!
❌ It cannot be done!

✅ Khadija is the inner meaning of “tranquillity”!
✅ She is the “interpretation of the night”!

Khadija’s Tranquillity in the Prophet’s (PBUH) Soul 💫

✅ How can I reflect on this “noble verse”?
✅ How can I measure and comprehend “Khadija’s station”?

✅ What came of the “tranquillity” Khadija brought to the “soul of God’s Prophet”?

✅ Is there anyone who could claim to bring “tranquillity” to the soul of their companion?
✅ This is “God-given tranquillity”!
✅ Khadija brought this tranquillity to the soul of the “Beloved of God”!

Khadija (SA): The Pillar of the Lineage of Prophethood and Imamate 🏡

✅ Who is Khadija?
✅ Who is she, truly?
✅ How can we measure her station?

✅ Her station was such that God’s Prophet, the “Beloved of God,” loved her!
✅ His eyes were illumined by her “beauty”!
✅ And he wept at her loss!

✅ What would we have without the “heavens”?
✅ If this world had no “Khadija”…

❌ there would have been no “Fatima”!
❌ No “Hasan and Husayn,” either!

❌ No “Sajjad, Baqir, Ja‘far, or Kazim,” either!
❌ No “Ridha, Jawad, or Hadi,” either!
❌ No “Hasan or Mahdi,” either!

The Unparalleled Rank of Lady Khadija (SA) ✨

✅ Can Lady Khadija’s rank even be measured?
❌ It cannot!

✅ “Khadija al-Kubra” was an honor for the “Messenger of God”!
✅ And an honor for the “Guardian of God”!
✅ She was a source of “pride and honor” for the Messenger of God (PBUH) and the Commander of the Faithful (AS)!

The Six Unparalleled Honors of the Commander of the Faithful (AS) 🏆

✅ The Messenger of God (PBUH) addressed the people, saying:

“God bestowed six special honors upon Ali, which no one else possesses!”
❌ Not even I, the Prophet of God, possess those six honors!
❌ Nor does any of the prophets who came before me possess them!

✅ Why?
✅ Because no prophet has a father-in-law like mine!

❓ Isn’t that surprising?
✅ It is!

✅ Apparently, this is “Ali’s honor”…
✅ But in truth, it is the “Prophet’s honor”!

✅ “Ali” has a father-in-law like me!
✅ And no one else has a father-in-law like that!
✅ Not even I, the Messenger of God, have a father-in-law like my own!

✅ “Ali” has a mother-in-law like “Khadija”!
✅ I have no mother-in-law like that!
✅ And none of the prophets has a mother-in-law like “Khadija”!

✅ And what of the other four honors?

✅ “Ali” has a wife like “Fatima (SA)”!
❌ I have no wife like her!

✅ “Ali” has children like “Hasan and Husayn”!
❌ No one else has children like them!

✅ “Ali (AS)” was born in the “Sacred House of God”!
❌ I was born in the house of my grandfather, “Abd al-Muttalib”!

✅ Indeed, Ali’s honors are the Prophet’s honors!
✅ And among all these ranks, Khadija (SA) is the radiant link in this chain!

✅ May God’s blessings and peace be upon this exceptional lady of all creation!
✅ اللهم صل علی محمد و آل محمد!

Khadija (SA): A Matchless Lady and the Root of the Light of Imamate 🌹

✅ Another hadith relates:

“O Ali, this hadith is addressed to you!”
✅ You possess “special honors that I do not have”!

✅ You have a wife like “Fatima (SA),” whom I do not have!
✅ You have in your loins children like “Hasan and Husayn”!
✅ Like me, you have “Khadija” as your mother-in-law, whom I do not have! (mother-in-law)

✅ “Khadija” shines in the “soul of the Prophet” and the “soul of Ali”!
✅ Like me, you have a father-in-law whom I do not have!
✅ O Ali, like “Ja‘far,” you have a brother whom I do not have!
✅ Like “Fatima bint Asad,” you have a mother whom I do not have!

Khadija (SA): The One Whom the Messenger of God (PBUH) Wept for in Her Absence 💔

✅ Who is Khadija?
✅ One must enter the Prophet’s heart to grasp Khadija’s greatness!

✅ How did the Messenger of God (PBUH) see Khadija’s greatness?

The account of “Fatima’s (SA) marriage proposal” relates:

✅ One of the Messenger of God’s (PBUH) wives said:
“If Khadija were alive, her eyes would be gladdened by this union!”

✅ Umm Salama says:
“When we spoke of Khadija (SA) and mentioned her name, the Messenger of God (PBUH) wept, then said: ‘Khadija… and who could be like Khadija? Where could anyone like Khadija be found? No one could! Khadija had no equal; she was one of a kind, without peer!’”

✅ “When people rejected me, Khadija affirmed my truth!”
✅ “She helped me uphold God’s religion!”
✅ “She was my strength in championing God’s religion!”
✅ “She supported me in strengthening the faith with her wealth!”

✅ And God commanded me to give Khadija glad tidings!
✅ Of “a palace of emerald” in Paradise!

✅ Yes, such a woman was Khadija!

The Light of Khadija (SA) and the Roiling Grandeur of Muhammad (PBUH) ✨

✅ “Khadija’s purity” cannot be understood or put into words!
✅ Who is “Khadija”?

✅ What came of the union of this “sacred light” with the “mighty light of Muhammad”?
✅ What “magnificent star” shone in this universe?
✅ What “grandeur” was revealed?

✅ What was the “sum of these two lights”?
✅ What, in truth, did “Khadija” do?
✅ When these “mighty, creation-shaping elements” came together, what was the result?
✅ A “fruit” like “Fatima (SA)”!

✅ The “roiling grandeur of Muhammad” in “Khadija’s soul” brought about “God’s wondrous and extraordinary acts of creation”!

✅ Yes, “purity” is the art of all arts!
✅ And “purity” is “Khadija’s” art!
✅ And “Khadija” is the embodiment of all art!
✅ All the art of “creation” was gathered in her blessed “soul”!

✅ One of her highest distinctions was her “purity and cleanliness”!
✅ It made her a “place of beauty and freshness”!

✅ “O beauty!”
✅ “O purity!”
✅ It is the very “ground” on which “freshness, wonders, and marvels” are revealed!

✅ Yes, only “divine miracles” come to pass “from the heart of purity”!

Khadija (SA): A Pure Tablet for the Manifestation of Divine Art 📜

✅ O God!
✅ Your “wondrous and mysterious pen” writes only upon a “pure tablet”!
✅ You display Your “lofty majesty” only through a “pure tablet”!

✅ A “pure woman” is, in every moment of this world, “a work of art, ever new”!
✅ A “pure woman” is not a “lifeless tablet”!
✅ Rather, she is a “perpetual manifestation of God”!
✅ She is “a showcase for God’s wonders”!

✅ Yes, a “pure woman” is where “the arts of the Merciful” are displayed!

What would become of things if there were no “purity”?
❌ All the “beauties of creation” would become “puppets”!
❌ The “pleasures of this world” would be lifeless!
❌ They would stir no one’s “appetite”!
❌ They would be nothing but mirages!

✅ “Spirit” is the very “life of the soul”!
✅ Without “purity,” upon what “vessel” or “soul” could the “sacred spirit” be breathed?
✅ The “ground of purity” must be “pure within”…
✅ so that God may breathe His “sacred spirit” into it!

✅ Yes, “purity” is what all humanity has lost!
✅ “Purity” is the very “spirit, flavour, and taste of creation”!
✅ “Purity” is the “salt” of everything!

✅ “Purity” is the “key to mysteries”!
✅ “Purity” brings this world, moment by moment, to “freshness and cleanliness”!
✅ “Purity” is the “tablet of art” upon which the Divine Artist creates!

A Pure Woman: A Special Sign of God and a Pillar of the World’s Spiritual Life 🌿✨

✅ If the “pure tablet” loses its “sanctity,” it will be “overturned”!
✅ “Purity” is “purer than water”!
✅ “More water than water”!

✅ A “pure woman” is the world’s “water,” its “honour,” and its “flourishing”!
✅ She is the “purifying water” of existence—or rather, she is “even more than that”!
✅ She is the “pure earth,” the “ground” from whose “purity” the “universe” draws its “nourishment”!

✅ The world must be “purified” to attain its “most excellent form”!
✅ So that it may “take flight” and “soar”!
✅ And a “pure woman” possesses this distinction!

✅ From the heart of this pure sanctuary and haven, “God’s light” is revealed!
✅ And the “people of the world” draw their “nourishment” from it!
✅ “Serenity” wells up from it!
✅ And the “people of the world” make it “nourishment for their souls”!

✅ The world is “watered” by the “pure woman”!
✅ It is “illuminated”!
✅ It is “filled with blessings”!

✅ Yes, we must continually draw nourishment from all of God’s “Most Beautiful Names”!
✅ Our “staple nourishment” is God’s “Most Beautiful Names”!
✅ And the “pure woman” has been entrusted with this “mission”!

The Pure Woman: God’s Special Emissary and the Source of the World’s Miracles 🌺

✅ The “pure woman” is truly a “special sign of God”!
✅ And the “entire world” draws nourishment from “God’s signs”!
✅ If it does not, it “dies” and “perishes”!

✅ The “pure woman” is “God’s emissary”!
✅ She bears such a “trust” in her “soul” and “scatters” it throughout the “world”!
✅ She makes the world “serene”!

✅ If a woman’s true nature “shines forth”, the world “cannot contain itself”!

✅ The “noble virtues” are “elevated to higher powers” in a “woman’s soul”!
✅ They rise to “lofty degrees”!
✅ And when the “noble virtues” are “added and multiplied” in a “woman’s pure soul”, they bring forth “great miracles” in this “universe”!

✅ Yes, “woman” is “God’s emissary”!
✅ “Woman” is “God’s special emissary”!
✅ “Woman” is both “being tested by God”…
✅ and a “means by which God tests” His “creation”!

✅ “Woman” carries “immense and extraordinary energy”!
✅ The “power of modesty” surges through a “woman’s soul”!
✅ It is a “power” that the “Creator” breathed into a “woman’s soul”!

✅ “Modesty” is an “immense power”…
✅ surging through a “woman’s soul” with “ten times the force it has in a man”!

✅ And this “modesty” itself holds “lofty mysteries”!
✅ God willing, I will speak of them “in due course”!

✅ If that “modesty” “shines forth”…
✅ “The earth and all that is in it” will “flourish”!

Modesty: God’s Endless Energy in a Woman’s Soul ✨

✅ “Modesty” cannot be “touched”, “explained” or “described”!
✅ It is “God’s endless energy”!

✅ And in this “world”, “woman”…
✅ plays “a central role”…
✅ while also fulfilling “secondary roles”!

✅ “Woman” makes this “world” “abundantly fruitful”!
✅ The “pure woman” makes this “world” “flourish”!
✅ The “impure woman” lays it “waste”!
✅ She “destroys” it!

✅ If we look at “woman”…
✅ and see both her “earthly dimension”…
✅ and her “heavenly, transcendent dimension”…
✅ then we will understand which of her “dimensions” is “carrying out its mission” in this world!

✅ And she can grow “wiser” with “every passing moment”…
✅ and add to “the light of this universe”!

Why Have Most Women Forgotten Their Mission? ❓

✅ This verse applies to “every woman”…
✅ but why are “most women” “silent”?
✅ Why have they “turned away” from “this privilege” of theirs?
✅ Why have they “cast aside” “this trust from God”?

✅ Yes, if the “pure woman” falls “silent”…
✅ even “the sun in the sky” will go “dark”!

✅ Indeed, if “Azazil” “forgets” his “goodness”…
✅ and forgets “his mission”…
✅ he becomes “Iblis”!
✅ And he is “cast down” from “the heights of the seventh heaven”!

✅ Likewise, if the “pure woman” loses “her purity”…
✅ she becomes “lower” even “than Satan”!

Woman: Bearer of a Trust Many Women Forgot 💔

✅ Yes, “woman” became a “bearer of the trust”!
✅ She accepted the “trust”!
✅ But “few among them” understood that they were “bearers of the trust”!

✅ They betrayed “God’s trust”!
✅ They became “ظَلُوم”!
✅ They became “جَهُول”!

✅ What would happen if each and every one of our limbs and faculties abandoned its duties?

✅ What would happen if our brain strayed from its duties?
✅ “Bitter” would seem “sweet”!
✅ A person would pursue “bitterness”
✅ and take in a “false sweetness”!
✅ They would accept “poison” in place of “sweetness”
✅ and be “destroyed”!

✅ Their “greater world” would become “lesser”!

✅ What would happen if the heavenly bodies abandoned their duties?
✅ What if they strayed from their proper bounds?

✅ Yes, if a “woman” goes “astray”…
✅ she leads the “world” astray!
✅ An “impure, unveiled woman” throws “the order of this world” into disarray!
✅ A “woman” does not understand what “trust she bears”…
✅ and “does not know” what “betrayal” she commits against it!

✅ What would happen if a sign of God were “reversed”?

❌ It would bring nothing but “destruction”!

✅ اللهم احفظ نساء المؤمنین بحفظک!

A virtuous woman: a blessed tree from which divine wonders may grow 🌿✨

✅ A “virtuous woman” is “fertile ground” for “wonders and marvels to grow”!
✅ Yes, “beauty” and “pleasure” are a “vast arena of God”!

✅ Two “highly sensitive” choices in “humanity’s trial” and “God’s creation”!
✅ What “immense and astonishing trials” this world has placed on “humanity’s examination table”!

✅ And how many “candidates in this trial” have “failed” at “this very table”!
✅ They do not understand!

✅ If they could not “meet its demands,” why did they volunteer for “this trial”?
✅ Everything in this world is a “laboratory sample” of “pleasure”!

✅ A “woman” is a “remarkable creation”!
✅ And an “astonishing product”!

✅ A “virtuous woman” is that “blessed tree”!
✅ An “impure woman” is that “evil tree”!

✅ And its fruits are “Zaqqum”!

Khadijah (SA): a woman of endless mysteries 🌹

✅ We were speaking of “Khadijah (SA)”!
✅ By God, “Khadijah” holds within her many “inner realities” and “Fatimas”!

✅ “Even now,” we have “not come to know” even “one fruit” among “Khadijah’s fruits”!
✅ Do we even know “Fatimah (SA)”?
✅ We “do not know her”!

The tree of wisdom and knowledge in Khadijah’s soul (SA) 📜✨

✅ What “knowledge” has “grown” from the “soul of this tree”!
✅ And what “fruits of wisdom” have “blossomed”!

✅ What “Fatimas” Khadijah has!
✅ What “outer forms” and “inner realities” she holds!

✅ Until I “know her proof”…
✅ I will never attain the “understanding” of those “exalted beauties”!

There is no end to speaking of Khadijah (SA)! 💫

✅ There is “much to say about Khadijah”!
✅ It has no end!

✅ If we are “granted success”…
✅ God willing, may we be “granted success” to “present” the “station of Khadijah” in “word and writing”…
✅ and bring it to the “hearing of our dear ones”!
