1. Khadijah binti Khuwailid

He was the first wife of the prophet Muhammad. Before marrying the Prophet, he had been the wife of Atiq ibn Abiddan Abu Halah bin Malik and had given birth to four children, two with her husband named Atiq, namely Abdullah and Jariyah, and two with her husband Abu Halah namely Hindun and Zainab. Various histories explain that when Muhammad s.a.w. married to Khadijah, Khadijah's age was 40 years old while the Prophet was only 25 years old.

Her husband was martyred in the Battle of Uhud and his cousin was also martyred during the war and the prophet Muhammad proposed to him.

Thabit was about to be doomed with 9 threes of gold, and Barrah complained to the prophet. The Messenger of Allah was willing to pay for the miracle, then marry him.

The motive of the Prophet Muhammad married Juwariyah because of political motives and forms of help with Juwariyah because of being held captive by Thabit bin Qais bin al-Shammas al-Ansariy. So as to raise the dignity of women.

8. Zainab bint Jahsy

Zainab was the wife of Zaid bin Harithah who had become a cult and later became the adopted son of the prophet Muhammad, after he was freed.

12. Maria al-Qibthiya

Maria al-Qibthiya was the only wife of the Prophet from Egypt and the only one with whom the Prophet obtained a child other than Khadijah, Ibrahim, but unfortunately died at the age of 4

The motive of the Prophet Muhammad married Mary because of political motives. The culture of the King of the world that gives gifts in the form of slaves or women is common as part of building allies or relations between countries. So the Prophet Muhammad married Mary for da'wah and received a gift from the King of Egypt so that relations between countries could be good and Islam could develop.

It was concluded that the Prophet Muhammad married an Arab woman had rational considerations and could be accounted for. The position of the Arab woman is patriarchal or marginalized or underestimated even sold. So that by marrying is an attempt to elevate the status of women in the current conditions. Even the King of the King at that time had a wife of more than 50. Khalid bin Walid had more than 50 wives. Or other Arab societies. Because culture has a wife showing a lot of status and position. There is no motive for lust or hypersex disorder such as the Orientalist accusation against Islam. The marriage of the Prophet Muhammad to Khadijah lasted for 25 years. After Khadijah passed away the Prophet Muhammad because the conditions of struggle and promote Islam became logical because the motive was to protect widows, to elevate women's status and political motives or to change the wrong Arabic culture so that they could be accounted for.
