CRITERIA FOR GOOD CHOICE
Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) symbolized the reasonable, wise woman who weighed matters with a sound scale. She chose the proper man to be her husband. She did not choose a wealthy man nor a man of power lest his wealth and authority could lead him to tyranny and oppression. She got her self well-acquainted with the morals of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). She knew his trustworthiness, truthfulness, and honesty. In trade, Muhammad (peace be upon him) proved to be honest and trustworthy. In addition to this, she knew, from what her slave-boy told her, that Muhammad was supported and protected by Allah, Most High.
By doing so, Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) set an ideal example for Muslim women and laid down the bases on which a Muslim woman should choose her husband. Khadijah, who was called at-Tahirah (the chaste woman), deserved to marry Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was called as-Sadiq al-Amin (the truthful and trustworthy). Allah, Most High, says,
… And women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity. (An-Nur: 26)
