In this episode of Re-Sight Islam, Qasim and Salaam examine the life and the influence of the Prophet Mohammed's first wife, Khadijah.  As the first person to accept Islam and the first to recognize Mohammed as a prophet of God, she remains as one of the most dynamic female characters in all of history.
This episode looks at how Khadijah, when faced with tragedy and societal oppression, rose up to become one of the most influential women of her day.  Qasim and Salaam tell how Khadijah took control of her own destiny and stood bravely beside the Prophet through even the darkest of days.
Qasim and Salaam answer the age old questions of why She-Camels are so important to goat farmers, what Khadijah and Jeff Bezos have in common, and where Ancestry.com really got its start.  This episode will explain why the third time is a charm, will get you counting the number of societal taboos that are violated in one story and why you are never too poor to get married.
Have a listen, and let's break bread together!
