Prophet Muhammad's first wife in the ancient era was Khadijah bint Khuwaylid. She was a successful merchant and a widow when she married Muhammad, who was also a merchant at the time. Khadijah was notably supportive of Muhammad's early religious experiences and played a significant role in the early years of Islam. She is revered in Islamic tradition for her wisdom, generosity, and unwavering support for Muhammad, particularly during the initial years of his prophethood.
