The women in Muhammad's Heart!... The women Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was married to were given the respected title of "Mothers of the Believers" (may Allah be pleased with them) · Khadija The prophet’s first wife, whom he loved more than any of his later wives. 15 years his senior, she was his only wife for more than 20 years and no other woman compares to her in the Prophet’s life.
