About the Book:

This 2025 edition, released in a dedicated Large Print format, offers an intimate and reverent exploration of the life of Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, the woman whose unwavering faith and support became the bedrock of early Islam. The book focuses on the “First Light” she provided during the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) most vulnerable moments, framing her not just as a historical figure, but as a living example of spiritual courage. By emphasizing her role as the first to recognize the Divine message, Altoblani’s narrative highlights Khadijah’s unique blend of worldly wisdom as a merchant and her deep internal stillness. This version is specifically designed for accessibility, ensuring that her legacy of sacrifice, love, and leadership is available to a wide audience seeking to reconnect with the foundational history of the faith through a readable and emotionally resonant lens.

Fatma Redha Altoblani is a contemporary author known for her focus on spiritual resilience and the deep, often personal connections between the believer and the Divine. Her writing style is characterized by a “heart-cantered” approach, frequently exploring themes of faith, perseverance, and the mercy of Allah. In addition to her work on the foundational figures of Islam, she is the author of titles such as Angel of Love: Still I Breathe, which reflects her broader interest in narrative-driven spiritual healing. Through her work on Khadijah, Altoblani seeks to bridge the gap between historical scholarship and modern devotional practice, making the lives of the Sahabah (companions) feel immediate and relevant to the challenges of the present day.
