Of wives and support.

It was in a cave, that a man of 40 years old, who stayed there from dawn till dusk, fasting, while thinking about the world around him.

It was at this time that that man, was approached by a stranger, someone mysterious and unbeknownst to him, later on his life, would be one of his best friend. The stranger asked of the man something that the man could not answer, something that the man himself admitted that it is not in his repertoire.

Thus, the stranger hugged him tightly until it made the man shiver. This made the man feel so small and so scared. But he wasn't able to get away. The stranger, repeated the question, and still the man could not answer, could not give what the stranger wanted. Thus, the stranger hugged him for another time.

The process was repeated for one last time and after that, followed by the stranger reciting some verses, not just words, but orders, orders from high above. After that, the man went home. He went home, feeling surprised at what ha happened to him, feeling afraid of what is to happen to him now, shivering.

Finally, after arriving to the safety of his own home, he was greeted sweetly by his wife. He told his wife everything that happened to him of the previous hours before. He was still in the state of shocked and was still shivering. And yet, his wife comforted him ,cared for him until he felt better. She didn't even panicked. She was the one who calmed him down.

That man was the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. and his wife, Khadijah, the first person, the first women to embrace islam, without any doubt.

She was the one who trusted her husband, she was the one who believed and supported her husband to no ends, she was the one who helped her husband in whatever he did, never doubting his actions. That is how a wife should be. Someone who is very supportive of her husband, someone who helps her husband in his mission of spreading truth. Someone who believes in her husband, never complaining.

She was one of the first and one of the best. To all out theere, you all should know her sacrifices. We should be proud of her, but most of all, we should emulate her as well.

This is for all the muslimah's out there.

Entshlah, tiba-tiba nak cerita pasal dia. :)D
