Family of Prophet Muhammad and Khadijah
📌 Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Khadijah (RA) had five children: Qasim, Zainab, Ruqayyah, Ummu Kultsum, and Fatimah.
👶 Both sons, Qasim and Abdullah (also known as At-Tayyib and At-Thahir), passed away in infancy (Qasim at two years old, Abdullah at 18 months).
👑 Khadijah (RA) is described as a perfect wife: loyal, loving, and fruitful in progeny during their 15 years of marriage before prophethood.
💍 Zainab married her cousin, Abu al-'Ash Bin Rabi', a merchant, while Ruqayyah and Ummu Kultsum were married to the sons of Abu Lahab.

Challenges During Early Prophethood
😠 After Muhammad (PBUH) received prophethood at age 40, the early secret propagation of Islam led to opposition, notably from his uncle, Abu Lahab.
💔 The death of their second son, Abdullah, led to mockery from opponents like Ash Bin Wail and Abu Lahab, who claimed Muhammad (PBUH) was "cut off" (without descendants).
🕋 This mockery was countered by the Quranic verse in Surah Al-Kautsar (Chapter 108, Verse 3), which states that the one who hates the Prophet is the one truly cut off from Allah's blessings.

Impact of Faith on Marriages and Family
💔 The faith divergence caused significant hardship for the daughters; Zainab’s husband, Abu al-'Ash, initially refused to convert, resisting pressure from his in-laws (Ummu Jamil, Abu Lahab's wife) to divorce her.
🛡️ Ruqayyah and Ummu Kultsum were divorced from their husbands following direct threats from Abu Lahab, as their in-laws rejected Islam and insulted the Prophet (PBUH).
💖 Khadijah (RA) provided immense comfort and strength to the Prophet (PBUH) after the loss of their sons and supported their daughters through the subsequent trials and forced divorces.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Islam fundamentally elevated the status of women, notably by abolishing the pre-Islamic practice of burying female infants alive due to perceived shame.
➡️ Both sons and daughters are considered a trust (amanah) from Allah, for which parents will be held accountable, emphasizing the need for fair affection towards all children.
➡️ Faith in the face of adversity (like divorce or loss) requires steadfastness and comfort from loved ones, as demonstrated by Khadijah's support for the Prophet (PBUH) and the daughters.
