Khadijah RadhiAllahu anha died on the 10th of Ramadan of the 10th year of the Proclamation of Islam. Also named the Year of Sorrow as our Blessed Prophet SallAllahu alahi wasallam also buried his loved uncle and guardian Abu Talib one month later. Some narrations say Rasulullah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam dug her Mubarak grave, others say he entered it while placing her body therein and after smoothing earth over it. Allahu ‘Alum.
The Prophet SallAllahu alahi wasallam was later to remark of his beloved Khadijah that "she believed in me when all others disbelieved; she held me truthful when others called me a liar; she sheltered me when others abandoned me; she comforted me when others shunned me; and Allah Ta’ala granted me children by her while depriving me of children by other women."
Peace on you, O the mother of the pure Imams
Peace be on you, O the mother of the believing men
Peace be on you, O the first of the believing women
Peace be on you, O the sincere lady among the devoted ones
Peace be on you, O the chief lady of the sacrosanct (haram)
And the queen of Mecca
Peace be on you, O the first one to believe in the Apostle of Allah from among the women
Peace be on you, O the one who observed servitude as it ought to be observed,
submitted herself and discharged her wealth in the service of the chief of the Prophets.
Peace be on you, O the companion of the beloved of the Lord of the Heaven.
The spouse of the epitome of the chosen ones.
O the daughter of Ibraheem, the friend (of Allah)
Peace be on you, O the one to whom Jibraeel used to salute and used to convey to her the salutations from Allah, the Majestic.
Peace be on you, O the protector of the religion of Allah.
Peace be on you, O the helper of the Apostle of Allah.
Peace be on you, O the one whose burial was arranged by the Apostle of Allah and he entrusted her to the Mercy of Allah.
I bear witness that you are esteemed near Allah and the chosen one among His nation and that Allah has placed you in His Mercy in a place built of ruby and in the highest grades of Paradise
May Allah send salutations upon you and His Mercy and Blessings

Assalam Alaykum
Jazkallah Khayr for the pictures and captions. We recently stopped at the resting place of our mother Khadija when we attended Umrah, but not for long enough to make du’a as the driver said the police would tell him off.. I look forward to the day when one can travel to these places without restriction.
Alhumdulillah, we also travelled to the place of Hudaybiyyah and have many picture, so if you wish to share them on your blog, please drop me an email.
Take care and May Allah reward you once again.
Wassalam

Wa ‘alaikumus Salam,
Maybe due to the purity of the souls who have been blessed to be resting here, Dear Baba. I too gain so much peace standing here and at Jannatul Baqi, Alhumdulillah.
:) Thinking Tiger!! Thanks for all your diverse guises appearing in this space!
Dear Sister Rozina, I have emailed you, JazakiLlahu khairan for this offer. Some of the taxi drivers are too lazy and/or miserly to stop at places and use the excuse of being apprehended…other times there is a genuine risk they take which I have experienced when requesting them to go to the cave at Jabal Uhud. I think we all agree that to be free of all the restrictions in our Sacred Places would be a huge blessing. Du’a!
Wassalamu alaikum
