Khadijah surely ranks at the top. She is the first of the Mother of Believers, the title of veneration and respect given to all the wives of the Prophet SAW, and has the unique position of not only being the first woman, but also the first person, to embrace Islam.[1][3]

Significance

Given the pure love that a mother alone can give, just as a mother may be hungry but if her children are hungry, she will feed them first.  In fact, if need be in an urgency she will feed her children with her share of food and will happily go hungry.  It has been observed on countless occasions in history, especially during wars and famines. The fact that her babies are well fed and satisfied is enough to make a mother happy and satisfied, and enough to make her forget her hunger and thirst.  A mother's love is unconditional;  It is all-protective, omnipresent.[4]
