her words were: “Allah is Peace, and from Him is all Peace, and may peace be on Gabriel.”

Holy prophet (p) remembered Lady Khadija (s.a.) with love, affection, and gratitude forever. Her death filled his heart with deep pain and sorrow. Lady Khadija (s.a.) expired on the 10 Ramadan of the 10th year ater Hijra in 619, and was laid to rest in Hajun, Holy Mecca. The Messenger of Allah himself descended into her grave to lay in it for a few moments. He smoothed the earth on her grave after the burial.

Hazrat Muhammad (p) had to sustain another great shock in the death of his uncle and guardian, and the bulwark of Islam, Hazrat Abu Talib (a.s.)’s passing away, one month after Lady Khadija (s.a.)’s. He was overwhelmed with sorrow and grief with the expiry of two supporters and called the year of their death “Aamul Huzn - the Year of Sorrow.”
