so we've spoken about the possibility of a person whose status is unknown to be visited
by the likes of jibril and of course for us as believers when leila comes around right
to have the descent of jibril islam is very special but what about a woman whose status
is known by everyone and that is her status is well established amongst the people of the earth
and amongst the inhabitants of the heavens this is the woman that aside from just being the first
muslim the first believer in the prophet saws she's someone who is the comfort of the prophet
saws she finances the tao of the prophet saws she sells everything that she has right lived a very
comfortable life prior to islam she gives that all up for the sake of allah and of course
you know we have to note that the prophet saws mentions that people of good qualities
their good qualities were only polished and further shined with islam so even before the tao
of the prophet's life sometimes she used to spend on the poor she used to spend on the orphans but
she was still always comfortable and wealthy until the tao of the prophet saison starts now
the tao of the prophet saison goes on and the boycott happens
technically could have excused herself from the boycott right she could have stayed back and had
the protection of her tribe and her status would have guaranteed that she would be okay
but she chooses to be there with the prophet saws and with the muslims literally as
they are starving to death and she uses her position to try to sneak food into the camp
who was the nephew of khadija would bring food to her and she would distribute that to the poor
muslims and she would continue to abstain from food herself so she suffers voluntarily but so
graciously right throughout the life of the prophet sallam as a prophet and she never
wants complaints and there are narrations in the seerah you know there's narration from imam nisuni
that islam once met her in the street in the form of a man to ask her about the prophet saws and she
did nothing but say wonderful things about him and praise him and thank allah subhana tada for him
she didn't complain about her situation so when she is tested in ways that we know and in ways
that we don't know because we'll never truly know the extent of that suffering and that hardship
and that hurt especially since much of the meccan seerah is not known to us allah subhanahu ta'ala
sees it all and allah elevates her now she has a very unique incident with the angels
and that is that jubilee salaam does not just come to her in any way right but he comes to her
with specific salaam and specific glad tidings this is the famous hadith where jibril islam comes
to the prophet salla and this is close to the end where khadija allah has now suffered in every way
and she's barely hanging on right it would it would eventually be the hardships born through
the boycott that would lead to her demise so jibril islam comes to the prophet saws and he says
o messenger of allah is about to come to you she's coming to you right now
and she has a platter in that platter there is something to eat or something
to drink some soup something to eat something to drink something very simple
when she comes to you fakra ali is first and foremost tell her that allah sends her salam
her lord sends her salam wamini assalam and give her salam for me from jubilee
salam so allah says and please tell her that i say salaam to
so this here now he comes he says this is khadijah coming to you with this dish it has some soup
some food something to drink when she reaches you give her salam on behalf of her lord and
give her salam from me and give her the glide tidings of a palace in paradise it's made of a
very specific type of jewel it's made of these jewels and there will be no noise and no stress
