 MUHAMMAD WAS GIVEN PROPHETHOOD BY HIS WIFE KHADIJA

When he was in the cave, he was influenced by Satan: In the book titled “The Great Wives and Sons of the Prophet” written by Sheikh Abdullah Saleh Al-Farsy, page 12, we read the following words:

"Then the Prophet became frightened and returned to his wife and told her what had happened; and immediately, he was struck by a severe fever, asking to be covered with clothes. He began trembling and panicking, saying, 'I fear for myself, being played by Satan and losing my mind.' Lady Khadija immediately reassured him, saying, 'Stop that; it won’t be that way. Satan cannot influence a person with qualities like yours. You are kind to your relatives, help even those who are not your own, and display good character that no one else has. You do this and that. Take heart, my dear. Rest your mind, Wallahi! I see you have become a prophet.'"

In this incident that happened to Muhammad in the cave, Muslims around the world interpret this as the moment when Muhammad received revelation and was given prophecy and prophethood. However, when you reflect on the message, you see that even he himself did not know what had happened to him in the cave.

That’s why, when he arrived home, his wife, Khadija, covered him with a cloth, thinking he had a fever. Muhammad told his wife what had happened, fearing it was "Satan," not mentioning any angel, as Muslims want us to believe today. Because if it were an angel, as we read in the Bible, the angel would have identified himself to Muhammad. This is the first point.

In the end, Lady Khadija established her husband Muhammad’s prophethood.

Today, you have learned that Muhammad was given prophethood by his wife.
