It has shown Pharoah's wife, the Queen of Egypt, the Lady of crown, palace, power, policy, and the great state at that time. However, she challenged the authorities. The Qur'an has also shown Mary, daughter of Imran, who challenged the haughtiness and plot of the children of Israel. As the woman played an important role during the lives of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them), she played the same role during the life of (s.a.w.) and his mission.

This unique ideological role was played by Khadija bint Khwaylid (a.s.). It is worth mentioning, Khadija (a.s.) belonged to tribe of Quraish. She was the Lady of the society and had a remarkable position at Holy Mecca. She had wealth, trade, and position. She was the first woman to believe in 's (s.a.w.) message. Accordingly she believed in his prophethood and spent her money to support him. For him, she suffered all persecutions throughout the ten years of her holy life, be his side.

She endured all the sufferings of the siege that lasted for three years. Thus, she has become among the greatest women in the history of Islam. For this reason, Allah's Apostle (s.a.w.) called the year when she died the Year of Sadness. Muslims magnify this Lady very much. They follow her behavior and noble attitudes. In a conversation with his wife `A'isha concerning Khadija's character, the Prophet said: "Allah has not recompensed me with better than her.

She was the mother of the family and a house-wife. She believed me when the people accused me of lying. She supported me with her money when the people deprived me (of that). She bore me a son when I was deprived (of that) from other than her."17 Again he talked bout her, saying: "Indeed, I love those who love her."18 Then the Prophet (s.a.w.) talked about his daughter Fatima, the chaste: "Fatima is part of me.

Whoever hurts her hurts me."19 One day he was asked: "Which of your family is the most lovable to you?" "Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad," he said.20 From these texts we understand the position and character of the woman during the lifetime of the Prophet (s.a.w.). This attitude of the Prophet represents the best evaluation and respect to the position of the woman in Islam.

Through this brief Qur'anic and historical explanation, we understand that the woman looked after the great prophets and supported them.
