Muhammad's marriage to khadija

When Muhammad's grandfather, Abdul Mutthalib passed away, he was raised by his son Abu Talib. Abu Talib nurtured Muhammad as lovingly as his son, and some even said that Muhammad himself loved him more than his own children.
Abu Talib is not classified as a rich man, he works only as an ordinary merchant who often brings his merchandise to the land of Sham. When the age of 12-year-old Abu Talib felt Muhammad was old enough to be invited to trade to the city of Sham, but Abu Talib hesitated to bring Muhammad to trade because travel is very far and full of deserts. Until finally Muhammad himself who declared want to go to trade with Sham with his pam. It was only then that Abu Talib was convinced that Muhammad had been able to walk away.
So they went with the caravan to the sham. When they reached the border of Sham around Bushara, they were singing at the home of a Christian priest, Bahira. This pastor is known pious because he diligently pursue his kayap and learn to other worship experts.
As soon as he saw Muhammad with Abu Talib, Bahira immediately recognized the prophetic characteristics of Muhammad because they were written in Turat and Injil. Bahira immediately informed Abu Talib, "O my brother, your son is the choice of Allah, the future leader of mankind on earth, so keep him safe, bring him back to Mecca I am afraid he is disturbed by the Jews in even if the Jews knew that he was a candidate for Allah's Apostle, then they would certainly have killed him. "
Because of this Abu Talib canceled to go to Sham and invited Muhammad back to Mecca, Abu Talib did it because he believed Bahira kana in very soleh.
At almost 25 years of age, Abu Talib felt Muhammad was mature enough. Whether to walk away or to protect himself. At that time Abu Talib heard that Siti Khadijah, a very wealthy merchant, was planning a major trade-off to go to Sham.
So Muhammad was blessed by Abu Talib: "O my son, we are not really a well-off family, we are even more depressed lately, I hear that Khadijah hired two camels, but I do not agree that it is only that big. I talked about this with him? ". Mohammed approved his proposal.
Take his uncle to Khadija. It was proposed to Khadijah that Muhammad be paid 4 camels. Khadija herself had long listened to Muhammad's personality differently from others, so that he approved of the proposal.
Finally, Muhammad departed with Maisarah, the slave of Siti Khadija. Muhammad himself had a tremendous talent in trade because he earned a huge profit that no other trader had ever achieved before. This made Maisarah amazed by Muhammad's ability. And back from the trip Muhammad bought Khadijah the things he liked.
when he came back to Mecca and met Khadija, Muhammad told his story and how to make a profit. Khadijah so admires Muhammad plus Maisarah who tells Muhammad who is so polite, honest, treating customers well and smart. Quickly admiration turned into love.
But what to do? Khadijah himself was forty years old also a widow. Meanwhile, Muhammad is a young man who is 25 years old. Is Muhammad willing?
Siti Khadijah's interest in Muhammad once he conveyed to a person he strongly believes (some sources say that Nufaisa bin Mun-ya), until finally the man menwaa to mehammad in a subtle way.
"Why do not you get married?" he asked."I have nothing to marry," Muhammad replied."If it is provided and who proposes you is beautiful, honorable, respectable and qualified will you accept?""Who is that?" Muhammad asked."Siti Khadija," the man replied."But how?" Mohammed asked that Muhammad himself felt the same for Khadija, but never said because recalling how many rich, famous and honorable noble Quraysh propose to Khadija, but always rejected. What did Muhammad mean then compared to the nobles?
The man submitted his decision to him and Muhammad agreed.In short, everything is then set to smooth marriage. So, you could say that Khadija had applied for Muhammad and prepared everything their marriage needs.
Everything went smoothly to their wedding day with a simple show. for his own guardian, Khadijah was represented by his elder Umar bin Asad because Khadijah's father (Khuailid) had died before the Fijar war.
This is where Muhammad's new life with Khadija came to an end.

The marriage between Muhammad and Khadijah gave birth to four daughters and two sons, each of Zinab, Ruqayyah, Ummu Kaltsum, Fatimah, Qasim and Abdullah. But on the will of Allah, his two sons died as a child
