Re: A friend asked this question about the Prophet...

Also, could you post reference to Khadija marrying the Prophet because her cousin told her to? I don't see that as being true.** The cousin you speak of met the Prophet after he recieved his first revelation, and that's when the cousin knew that this was the Prophet that he had been expecting.**

Hmm so you know very little about him. He was very old when Sayyedah Khadija married Sayyedna Mohammad and as I already said he could not live long to see what happened to prophet. May be he was alive when he announced to be a Prophet. But he was very old at that time.
Here is more detail about the story................
When he sent proposal to Sayyedna Abdullah, but he was late and Sayyedna Abdullah married Sayyedah Aminah. So Sayyedna Abdullah offered him to marry his sister too. But Sayyedna Warqa denied, why? Here is the answer.............
He saw that the apportunity was transfered to Sayyedah Aminah, to give birth the Prophet. Thats why he denied the offer. He was a Sufi of that time and also a great scholar.
Do you know that Madina was made for the wait of coming Prophet. They waited for about 500 years. They had signs about him. So as you read history, you know when Prophet migrated to Madina they welcomed him. Girls sang songs. Men offered him to live in their houses. Not like Mushrikenn-e-Makkah who tortured him and his companions.
So what to say now?
