Welcome to the first episode of our new season on Whispers with ZI: Mothers of the Believers. In this deeply reflective episode, we take you on a journey into the full life story of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (RA) – the first wife of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the first believer in Islam, and a woman whose faith, loyalty, and love changed history.

Through vivid storytelling, authentic Hadith and Qur’anic references, and gentle reflections, we explore:

• Her early life as a noble, independent, and respected merchant in Makkah.

• How she met and married the young Muhammad ﷺ and the beauty of their marriage.

• The moment of revelation and how she became the very first Muslim.

• The sacrifices she made during the years of boycott and hardship.

• The enduring love and honour the Prophet ﷺ held for her long after her passing.

This episode is more than a biography — it’s a heart-to-heart on what Khadijah’s (RA) legacy means for us today as women and men of faith. It’s about believing in others, standing firm in hardship, and discovering how true softness is a form of strength.

Join me as we open the season with the life of a woman whose whisper still reaches our hearts more than 1,400 years later.
