The attitude of the Orientalists towards Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her)
Abstract
Orientalists had long lines in writings about the Mother of Believers, Khadija, because of the long period she lived with the Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace). In addition to her high status, she was a tender woman, a good wife and a great mother to the children of the prophet Mohammed (Allah bless him and grant him peace). Some orientalists were fair with her in their writings as they took their information from the biography of the prophet Mohammed (Allah bless him and grant him peace) ,historical sources and other books. Others slandered lies on her in order to defame the prophet Mohammed (Allah bless him and grant him peace). In addition they had purely an economic view that the marriage from Khadija was for interest and the high status prophet Mohammed (Allah bless him and grant him peace) got in Quraish and this is simply is a lie and slander by some orientalists.
