🌸Marital Status

Married to one wife for 25 years: Muhammad married Khadijah, the daughter of Khuwaylid, who came from a noble family called Asad.
She was a respected woman in her community and she was a widow. Muhammad worked for her for two years before she proposed marriage to him through a third party. She found him a very loyal, transparent and an ethical person.

Successful marriage: Although Khadijah was 15 years older than Muhammad , both of them came from a similar social class in the community.
The age difference was no obstacle to the establishment of asuccessful marriage which lasted for 25 years until Khadijah died in the year 619 CE at the age of 65.
