{"_id":"668da04b0b76658b4c233363","title":"How can Khadija be the first to accept Islam when all Prophets were Muslims?","question":"When people say the first person to accept Islam was Khadija, I’m confused. Are we talking about Islam as in the final message aka through prophet Muhammad specifically or for all human history? If it’s for the second option then I do not understand since anyone guided to believe in Allah from other prophets would also be Muslim, and someone who accepted Islam before the time of Khadijah (so then she wouldn’t truly be the first to accept). Is there an explanation for why people say she is the first?","answer":"While it's true that Islam encompasses the message of every prophet since Adam, and anyone who believes in this message throughout history is considered a Muslim, when people use the term \"Islam,\" they are typically referring specifically to the final iteration of Islam brought by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Khadija holds the distinction of being the first to embrace the final call to Islam delivered by the last of the messengers, our beloved Muhammad ﷺ.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe90b76658b4c2328ce","tag":"Aqeedah: The Prophets","count":28},{"_id":"668d9fe10b76658b4c2327e5","tag":"Seerah: Wives of the Prophet","count":9},{"_id":"668da04b0b76658b4c233361","tag":"Khadija","count":2}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:43.645Z"}
