Khadija's Death

Hadrat Khadija (SA) was married to the Holy Prophet (pbuh&hf) for 25 years. She died in 619 AD on the 10th of Ramadan 3 years before the Hijrah. When she died nothing was left of her wealth - all of it was served for the propagation of Islam.

She was buried in Makkah in a cloak of the Holy Prophet (pbuh&hf). Hadrat Abu Talib (AS) died in this year too. The Prophet (pbuh&hf) called the year Aam-ul-Huzn (the year of grief).

While Hadrat Khadija (SA) lived, the Holy Prophet (pbuh&hf) did not marry another woman and in later years he always said that she was the best of his wives.

He also said that she was one of the four perfect women who had ever lived. The other three are Hadrat Aasiya, the wife of Firaun, Hadrat Maryam, the mother of Prophet Isa (AS), and Hadrat Fatima Zahra (s.a.).
