KHADEEJAH: THE BLESSED LIGHT~UPON~LIGHT LADY!

By: Ismaheel Bakare


In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the Light.


Khadeejah, is no doubt, one of the best ladies the world has ever produced.


She was the first wife of the Best of all Creations, Prophet Muhammad, may the Peace and Blessings of God be upon him.


She was also the mother to the Leader of all Women of the Worlds, Faatimah the daughter of Prophet Muhammad.


She was also one of the four best women who ever lived, the rest of which are Faatimah, Mary/Maryam the mother of Jesus/Eesaa and Aasiyah the wife of Pharaoh.


She was the first woman to accept the Islam at the hands of Prophet Muhammad.


She displayed courage and had faith in what her husband brought forth from his Creator and supported him with all that she had.


The literary meaning of Khadeejah is ‘Ahead/Always Ahead’.


But that should be a topic for the etymologists and historians to shed more light upon.


This article intends to share the Abjad Numerological significances of the name 'Khadeejah' and the important event and Names that its numerical value synchronises with.


All of which stresses the fact that Khadeejah was a blessed and outstanding personage.


KHADEEJAH AS THE LADY OF LIGHT UPON LIGHT

Khadeejah can be called the blessed Light upon Light lady because she is and/or was a blessed woman as proven above.


Moreover, the Abjad numerical value of her name also synchronises with that of Light upon Light (Nuurun alaa Nuurin, as it appears in Chapter 24, Verse 35 of the Holy Qur’aan):-


KHADEEJAH  = 622


NUURUN~ALAA~NUURIN (LIGHT~UPON~LIGHT) = 622


This shows that she’s an embodiment of Light. Indeed, she gave birth to the Leader of women in paradise and the first amongst the four best women that ever-lived .


They {four best women that ever-lived} are: {(1) Fatima (Prophet’s daughter), (2) Khadeejah (Fatima’s mother & the first wife of the Prophet), (3) Asiyah (Pharaoh’s wife), (4) Maryam (Jesus’ mother)} 

“Quote from the article entitled ‘Numerical Expression of The Light Upon Light Prayer”---http://ismaheel-bakare.blogspot.com’.




THE ILLUSTRIOUS EVENT AND NAMES WITH THE BLESSED VALUE OF 622

1. ALLAH, RAHMAAN, RAHEEM (GOD, MOST-COMPASSIONATE, MOST-MERCIFUL) = 66 + 298 + 258 = 622

Allah, Rahmaan, Raheem are Ahead of other names of God, i.e. they’re Ismu~llah al A'azam(s), i.e. The Greatest name of Allah;


Imam Ahmad (rahimullah) said: It was narrated that Asma’ bint Yazid ibn As-Sakan (radiAllahu anha) said, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say about these two verses— “Allah! There is no god but He, the Ever-Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists…” [Al-Baraqah, 2: 255] and “Alif. Laam. Meem. Allah! None has the right to be worshiped but He, the Ever-Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists” [’Al ‘Imran, 3: 1-2]— that they contain the greatest name of Allah. [Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, Tafsir of Imam Ibn Kathir]


2. ALLAH, MUHAMMAD, TIJAANEE = 66 + 92 + 464 = 622


Muhammad is the Prophet Ahead of others in all ramifications, and so is Sheikh Ahmad Tijani was the epithet of Awliyyaa/Saints;



3. KHADEEJAH = 622

Khadeejah is one of the four best women that ever-lived: {(1) Fatima (Prophet’s daughter), (2) Khadeejah (Fatima’s mother & the first wife of the Prophet), (3) Asiyah (Pharaoh’s wife), (4) Maryam (Jesus’ mother)}.


4. NUURUN ALAA NUURIN = 622  

Nuurun alaa Nuurin is Ahead of other divine parables and similitudes. 

THE VERSE OF THE PARABLE OF ALLAH’S LIGHT (Chapter of Light {Q24:35})

“-God is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth, The PARABLE of His light is like a wall niche, in which there is a lamp: The lamp is in a glass (or globe). The glass is like a shining sphere/globe radiating from a blessed tree, a date-palm with neither of the (rising point) east nor (setting) west. Its oil oft give radiance, such that even if GOD does not touch fire to it, LIGHT-UPON-LIGHT! GOD guides to His light whomsoever He wills. And God narrates parables for men, for GOD knows all things.”



5. The Epoch~Making Year of migration of Prophet Muhmmad to Medina was 622 A.D.

One can describe 622A.D as the year of Khadeejah (THE YEAR AHEAD OF OTHERS IN THE HISTORY OF ISLAM).



CONCLUSION


I humbly conclude this succinct write~up that as that year (622 A.D) was a year Ahead of other years;

so is Allah, Rahmaan, Raheem Ahead of other names of God, i.e. They're Ismul ahzam(s) as evident in BISMI LLAHI RAHMAAN RAHEEM and in the hadith above;


so is the fact that Muhammad is the Prophet Ahead of others in all ramifications, and so is Sheikh Ahmad Tijani the Saint Ahead of others;


so is Nuurun alaa Nuurin Ahead of other divine parables and similitudes;


Lastly, so is Khadeejah, as the meaning of her name implies, is the Wife and Mother Ahead of
other Wives and Mothers of the Universe.


And finally one of the four Ladies Ahead of other Ladies of the Universe.


Indeed, she was the Light upon Light lady!!!


This article is dedicated to all Pious Ladies of the Worlds, especially those answering the blessed name of Khadeejah; KHADEEJAH HADIZA AHMAD of Dutse, KHADEEJAH AJIBADE of Iyeku~Kaduna, KHADEEJAH ROBINSON (my very good fb pal), and others.


May Allah grant us all LIGHT UPON LIGHT, ameen!
