thank you sister Asja.
Allah SWT does deliver miracles, but not very often. That is the reality. I really believe that what is destined will happen, and there are few surprises in life.
The story regarding Khadijah is not remarkable because of her age, it is remarkable because she married the holy Prophet who was 15 years younger than her. Khadijah had many proposals at her age, but turned them down, as she was destined to be married to the Prophet. In that era, it was not unusual for older women to be married. The age discrimination we are currently facing is a product of culture. Also, this was not her first marriage and she already had children from her previous marriage.
