"Apparently Khadijah RA had a few children from previous marriages."
"As-salaamu alaykum, ladies. Can you ask Sister Lillah to repeat that statement? The man must be... to allow the woman to be 'boss' 🙂."
"When Khadija (A.S.) married the Holy Prophet SAW, she was 27 years old and not 40 years as commonly narrated."
"Interesting program. I heard an Islamic scholar in Dubai quoting a PhD student researching Bibi Khadija (A.S.). They said she was 27 years old and a virgin. Her only children were Qaseem, Tahir, and Fatima. The others attributed to her belonged to her poor sister, whom she adopted. Unfortunately, the scholar who narrated this in a lecture died a couple of years ago. He was Syed Athaar, a famous Islamic scholar from Mumbai, India. He was visiting Dubai for that specific lecture, which I happened to attend. His full name was Maulana Mirza Mohamed (known as Athaar Saheb)."
Shukran for your feedback.
