                             The first of the wives of the Prophet (saas) was Khadija (ra). She was also
                       one of the very first Muslims. When the Prophet (saas) received his first reve-
                       lation he immediately told her of it. Khadija (ra) is known for her intelligence,
                       perceptiveness, foresight and wisdom, and she immediately believed, offering
                       the Prophet (saas) enormous support in the days that followed and expending
                       great physical and spiritual effort to help spread the morality of the Qur'an.
