Who’s Behind the Anti-Islam Ads on MTA and Muni?

The Prophet’s Wisdom in Dealing with His Wives
D uring a time in Arabia when widows were seen as a curse and “obsolete” for marriage, Prophet Muhammad accepted her marriage proposal, marking one of the most loving and romantic relationships in Islamic History.While he could have chosen any young virgin wife, Prophet Muhammad, a young man of twenty five, married Khadijah, who had been twice widowed and was also fifteen years older than him.
