Khadija bint Khuwaylid [a] (c. 554 – November 619) was the first wife of Muhammad. Born into an aristocratic clan of the Quraysh , she was an affluent merchant in her own right and was known to have a noble personality within her tribe.
[20] [21] [22] Muhammad used to manage her caravans; and Khadija, being impressed by the skills of Muhammad, sent a proposal to the Islamic prophet. [23] Around 595, the couple married, and this marriage, his first, would be both happy and monogamous; Muhammad would rely on Khadija in many ways, until her death 25 years later.
The common view is that the Islamic prophet Muhammad had three sons, named Abd Allah, Ibrahim, and Qasim, and four daughters, named Fatima, Ruqayya, Umm Kulthum, and Zaynab. The children of Muhammad are said to have been born to his first wife Khadija bint Khuwaylid, except his son Ibrahim, who was born to Maria al-Qibtiyya.
Khadija, Muhammad's first and only wife for the 25 years up to her death, died in 619 CE when she was about 65 years old. [1] Muhammad was almost 50 at this time, and the death happened not long after the end of the boycott against Muhammad's clan. [1] The boycott prohibited, among other things, trade with Muhammad's family. [3]

Khadija gave Muhammad the slave boy Zayd ibn Harithah, whom Muhammad would adopt later. [32] Ibn Ishaq records that Khadija bore Muhammad six children: a boy named Al Qasim (who would die at the age of two), then four girls, Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, Fatimah, and another boy, Abdullah (who also died at two).
