The House of Khadijah Bint Khuwaylid (May Allah be Pleased with Her) in Makkah al-Mukarramah: A Historical Study of its Location, Building, and Architecture

by Yamani Ahmad Zaki

This book documents one of the holiest Islamic sites in Makkah, the House of Khadeejah (may Allah be pleased with her), which housed the best creation of God, the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), his sons and his daughters (may Allah be pleased with them). This study sheds the light on the history of this great house, its roles across different historical periods as well as the renovations, additions and modifications that it has undergone throughout time. It also looks at the various social and cultural aspects related to it. In addition to the relevant aspects related to this house, such as: the Mother of Believers, Khadeejah bint Khuwaylid (may Allah be pleased with her) and her position and role in the Prophet's life, and the most important events that occurred in the House of Khadeejah (may Allah be pleased with her); it also includes the location of the House of Khadeejah (may Allah be pleased with her) and the houses surrounding it; the architecture of the House of Khadeejah (may Allah be pleased with her) throughout history, according to the narratives of the historians; the House of Khadeejah (may Allah be pleased with her) in the books of journeys to Makkah; and the House of Khadeejah (may Allah be pleased with her) based on the excavations done in 1989.

I have mixed feelings about this book. While it is beautifully bound with thick pages and fine printing, it lacks a lot of depth. The study is increasingly technical and repetitive, with some pages repeating information already stated multiple times. Illustrated interpretations of the house of Khadijah as it evolved through the ages would have been an excellent addition to the text. Lastly, while the topic of this study is an important historical space, it quite literally gets buried at the end. It’s such a shame because Muslims should have access and knowledge of their heritage and preserve it. I could see other faith groups unearthing a place like this and trying their best to restore it and turn it into a museum. Overall, while the book presents a very moving subject that tugs at the heart of Muslim history, it left me disappointed. I am glad that the book exists but the information could have been better presented and the legacy better preserved for future generations to walk through.
