Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (Arabic: خَدِيجَة بِنْت خُوَيْلِد, romanized: Khadīja bint Khuwaylid, c. 554[1] – November 619 CE) was the first wife and the first follower of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Khadija was the daughter of Khuwaylid ibn Asad, a noble of the Quraysh tribe in Makkah and a successful merchant.

Khadija is often referred to by Muslims as "The Mother of Believers". In Islam, she is an important female figure as one of the four 'ladies of heaven', alongside her daughters Fatimah bint Muhammad, Ruqayya bint Muhammad, Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad and Zainab bint Muhammad.[3] Muhammad was married to her for 25 years.

Ancestors of Islamic prophet Muhammad and his wife, Khadija bint Khuwaylid

Khadija's mother, Fatima bint Za'idah, who died in 575,[4] was a member of the Amir ibn Luayy clan of the Quraysh[5] and a third cousin of Muhammad's mother, Amina.[6][7]

Khadija's father, Khuwaylid ibn Asad, was a merchant[8] and leader. According to some accounts, he died c. 585 in the Sacrilegious War, but according to others, he was still alive when Khadija married Muhammad in 595.[9][10] Khuwaylid also had a sister named Ume Habib binte Asad.[11]
