The Most Beautiful Love Story !
She was one of the noblest women around, coming from a very prominent family. She was also quite beautiful and the holder of a considerable amount of wealth, being a prominent businesswoman. To marry her,would have been a great feat for any man, and indeed, quite a few of the most prominent and wealthy men in society had asked for her hand.
Yet, she rejected them all; already being a widow, she had lost the desire to marry again.Until he came into her life. He was young man of 25, and although he was also of a noble family, he was an orphan and was not a man of many means.
He had made a meager living tending sheep in the hills surrounding the city. Yet, he had an impeccable moral character, and he was widely known as one of the most honest men around. That is what attracted her to him: she was looking for someone honest who could conduct business for her, as she – a woman in a fiercely patriarchal society – could not do it herself.
So, he started working for her. After he came back from his first business trip, she asked her servant, whom she sent with him, about him and his conduct. The servant amazed her by his report: this young man was the kindest, gentlest man he had ever met. Never did he treat the servant harshly, as many others do. Yet, there was more: as they traveled in the heat of the desert, the servant noticed that a cloud had followed them the entire time, shading them from the blazing sun.
The businesswoman was quite impressed with her new employee. Not only that, this new employee proved to be an astute businessman in his own right. He took his employer’s merchandise, sold it, and with the profits bought other merchandise that he sold again, thus profiting twice.
All this was enough for her: the embers of love in her heart that were once extinguished re-kindled again, and she resolved to marry this young man, who was 15 years younger than she. So, she sent her sister to this young man.
She asked him, “Why are you not married, yet?”
“For lack of means,” he answered.
“What if I could offer you a wife of nobility, beauty, and wealth? Would you be interested?” she told him.
He replied in the affirmative, but when she mentioned her sister, the young employee chuckled in amazement.
“How could I marry her? She has turned down the most noble men in the city, much wealthier and prominent than me, a poor shepherd,” he said.
“Don’t you worry,” the sister replied, “I’ll take care of it.”
Not long after, the wealthy businesswoman married her young employee, and it was the beginning of one of the most loving, happiest, and sacred marriages in all of human history: that of Prophet Muhammad and Khadijah, the daughter of Khuwaylid.
When they were married, the Prophet was 25 years old, and Khadijah was 40. Yet, that did not bother the Prophet even a bit. He loved her so deeply, and she loved him as deeply. They were married for 25 years, and she bore him seven children: 3 sons and 4 daughters.
All of the sons died in young age. Khadijah was a source of immense love, strength, and comfort for the Prophet Muhammad, and he leaned heavily on this love and support on the most important night of his life.
While he was meditating in cave of Hira, the Angel Gabriel(Jibrail) came to the Prophet Muhammad and revealed to him the first verses of the Qur’an and declared to him that he was to be a Prophet.
The experience terrified the Prophet Muhammad, and he ran home, jumping into Khadijah’s arms crying, “Cover me! Cover me!” She was startled by his terror, and after soothing and comforting him for a while, the Prophet was able to calm down and relate to her his experience.
The Prophet feared he was losing his mind or being possessed.
Khadijah put all his fears to rest: “Do not worry,” she said, “ for by Him who has dominion over Khadijah’s soul, I hope that you are the Prophet of this nation. Allah would never humiliate you, for you are good to your relatives, you are true to your word, you help those who are in need, you support the weak, you feed the guest and you answer the call of those who are in distress.”
She then took him to her cousin, Waraqah ibn Nawfal – a scholar well-versed in the Judeo-Christian scripture – and he confirmed to the Prophet that his experience was Divine and he was to be the Last Prophet.
After his ministry began, and the opposition of his people became harsh and brutal, Khadijah was always there to support the Prophet Muhammad, sacrificing all of her wealth to support the cause of Islam. When the Prophet and his family was banished to the hills outside of Mecca, she went there with him, and the three years of hardship and deprivation eventually led to her death.
The Prophet Muhammad mourned her deeply, and even after her death, the Prophet would send food and support to Khadijah’s friends and relatives, out of love for his first wife.
Once, years after Khadijah died, he came across a necklace that she once wore. When he saw it, he remembered her and began to cry and mourn.
His love for her never died, so much so, that his later wife A’isha became jealous of her. Once she asked the Prophet if Khadijah had been the only woman worthy of his love. The Prophet replied: “She believed in me when no one else did; she accepted Islam when people rejected me; and she helped and comforted me when there was no one else to lend me a helping hand.”
Much has been made and said about Prophet Muhammad’s multiple marriages. There are many who smear the Prophet as a womanizing philanderer, citing his multiple marriages.This is absolute propaganda. As a response to those who malign the Prophet. IF the Prophet were anything of the sort, he would have taken advantage of his youth to do such a thing. But he did not! At a time when it was a common custom to have multiple wives, the Prophet did not marry anyone else while he was with Khadijah.
It was only after Khadijah died (may God be pleased with her) that he married other women. Most of these wives were widows, whom the Prophet married to care after them, or they were the daughters of prominent Arab chieftains, so that the Prophet could form a cohesive Muslim society out of a fiercely tribalistic (and barbaric) Arab culture.
The smears against the Prophet fall flat on their faces once the light of truth shines brightly upon them. In a song about the Prophet and Khadjiah, Muslim rappers Native Deen sing: “We look for stories of love in places dark and cold – When we have a guiding light for the whole world to behold.”
Many of what we call “love stories” today are nothing more than stories of lust and desire, physical attraction disguised as love. Yet, I can find no love story more powerful, more spiritually uplifting, more awe inspiring as that of the Prophet Muhammad and Khadijah.
It is a shining example of what an ideal marriage is, and if I ever claim that I love my wife, I must gauge my actions with that of the Prophet, even if i found someone, perfectly for me,then i will love her with all my heart,deeply.
"What is to me, the greatest of all love stories: that of Muhammad and Khadijah."
Love, due to person Character and person involvement in Islam, not due to beauty or body looks. Don’t flirt with anyone feelings. Don’t break anyone trust. If you can’t fullfill your promise,then don’t start such relation.

Mengapa Saya Suka Kamu ?
Bismillah...
Assalamua'laikum sahabat2,
Ingin saya luahkan sukanya saya kepada kamu . Saya suka kamu ! Walau hati berlari-lari mendapatkan dirimu, ada gembira dan tercalit juga sedih . Namun, perginya diri ini kepadamu bukan suatu angan2 namun ianya sambungan kepada perjuangan . Pergi kepada dirimu amat menguji kesabaran diri, apatah lagi kembalinya diri kepada mu bermakna diriku harus berpisah dengan mereka yang ku sayang di sana . Namun, ia tidaklah menerbitkan rasa tidak senang dalam diri . Saya tahu, andai diri tidak ingin lagi mengambil peluang mendapatkanmu, bila lagi peluang yang saya ada ? Mungkin hidup saya singkat, siapa tahu, kita mungkin tidak bertemu lagi ? Wallahu'alam..., namun saya tetap suka kamu .
Saya suka kamu......, walau pada pertama kali saya melihat dirimu, ianya indah khabar dari rupa . Namun tidak mengapa . InsyaAllah saya terima seadanya dan alhamdulillah saya dapat sesuaikan diriku dengan dirimu . Adakah kita sehati sejiwa ? Namun, hatiku tetap milik di sana . Cuma apa yang saya suka tentang dirimu, kamu mengajar ku banyak perkara . Kerana itu saya suka dirimu !
Apakah sebab2 yang saya suka pada dirimu ?
1) Suasana islamik yang ada pada dirimu . Saya suka . Kerana diriku juga mengatakan Islam is the way of life, jadi kerana itu saya terpikat pada dirimu . Buktinya ? Di sisi kamulah, ramainya ulama' dilahirkan . Selain itu, saya sukakan suasana yang kedai2 nya memasang ayat2 al-Quran walaupun ianya hanya kedai makanan atau kedai menjual pakaian ! Malah, saya pernah ditegur oleh seorang pakcik, gara2 memakai earphone .
"Errrr....."
2) "Ardhu Anbiya' " . Itulah antara gelaran yang diberikan kepada mu . Cukup indah . Bersyukur kerana bumi yang saya berdiri sekarang, pernah dijelajah, pernah disusuri oleh para Anbiya' Allah seperti nabi Musa, Yusuf, Ibrahim . Malah, Tursina (gunung Sinai) ada tercatat dalam al-Quran .
Di antara keduanya ada batas yang tidak dilampaui oleh masing2 .
[ar-Rahman : 19-20]
-di tempat pertemuan antara sungai dan laut, keduanya tidak bercampur-
Pernah juga, dalam kuliah, kami ditegur oleh seorang doktor yang mengajar Histology . Kerana apa ? Hanya kerana perkara kecil bagi yang tidak sedar, mungkin, namun besar bagi mereka yang sedar, iatu mendoakan orang yang bersin .
"Yarhamkumullah.."
"Yahdikumullah..."
4) Krib . Makanan paling istimewa di sini . Maksud saya di Zagazig . Kenapa ? Kerana apa ? Kerana satu2 nya makanan yang tiada di muhafazah lain ialah krib ! Dan krib memang sedap . Saya kira, tidak perlu bercakap panjang lebar tentang krib . :)
5) Mak aiiiihhh.....selepas berlakunya revolusi di sini, banyak tank atau kereta kebal di sini . Kenapa saya suka ? Teringat pula sewaktu kecil, excited bila nampak kereta kebal yang dipamerkan di muzium atau dalam perarakan pada hari keramian seperti hari Merdeka . Sekarang, diberi peluang secukup-cukupnya untuk melihat tank di sana sini . Siap boleh berfoto . :) Namun, ketika rusuhan berlaku, sebarang video atau gambar diharamkan untuk dirakam .
Apa2 pun, bersyukur tak terhingga kerana walaupun pernah terjadinya keadaan huru-hara, menyebabkan kami di'evacuate' dan diberi cuti 'free' , ianya memberi seribu pengajaran kepada saya . Antaranya, inilah 'penangan' darah orang muda . Sama2 kita renung dan fikirkan, tak perlu saya huraikan lebih2 . :)
[al-Hujuurat : 10]
"Enti Malizi ?"
"Aywah..."
"Da kullu muslim ?" sambil tangannya menunjuk pada
senarai nama di kertas itu .
"Aywah, kullu muslim ." Tersenyum .
Wahai 'kamu', saya kira, sampai di sini sahaja sebab2 yang membuatkan saya suka pada kamu . Andai masa itu berhenti, mungkin panjang lagi yang ingin ditulis . Namun, masa tetap berjalan seperti telah diatur oleh Maha Berkuasa, maka sampai di sini dahulu .
'Ala kulli hal, ini hanya asbab . Namun niat perginya diri ini kembali padamu , kerana Allah dan dengan izin-Nya jua .
Semoga perjuangan saya dan sahabat, walau dengan kamu, atau di mana2 sahaja, semoga diberkati olehNya . InsyaAllah . Dan, nama kamu tetap di hati saya kerana namamu telah menjadi sebahagian dalam kehidupan saya . Kamulah....Mesir . :)
Wallahu'alam...wassalam .

sekadar berkongsi :)
Wahai Raja, ketika kami berada dalam jahiliah kami menyembah patung-patung, memakan bangkai, melakukan perbuatan keji, memutuskan hubungan silaturahim, menyakiti jiran serta golongan yang kuat menindas golongan yang lemah. Kami berada dalam keadaan demikian sehinggalah Allah mengutuskan kepada kami seorang rasul dari kalangan kami sendiri yang kami kenal keturunannya, kebenarannya, amanahnya dan kesuciannya. Lalu dia mengajak kami kepada Allah supaya mentauhidkanNya, menyembahNya dan membuang semua jenis penyembahan yang disembah selain daripada Allah yang dilakukan oleh kami dan datuk nenek kami seperti penyembahan batu dan patung-patung. Dia juga menyuruh kami supaya bercakap benar dan menunaikan amanah, menghubungkan hubungan silaturahim, berbuat baik kepada jiran, tidak melakukan perkara haram, menumpahkan darah dan menghalang kami dari melakukan perbuatan keji, bercakap dusta, memakan harta anak yatim, melakukan tuduhan melulu terhadap perempuan-perempuan yang suci dan menyuruh kami supaya menyembah Allah Yang Maha Esa dan tidak berlaku syirik kepadaNya dengan sesuatupun, mendirikan sembahyang, menunaikan zakat serta berpuasa pada bulan Ramadan. Lalu kami membenarkannya, kami beriman kepadanya dan mengikuti apa yang dibawa olehnya daripada Allah sehingga kami menghalalkan apa yang telah dihalalkan kepada kami dan kami mengharamkan apa yang telah diharamkan kepada kami.
