Khadijah was a 40 years old woman who lived as a successful businesswoman independent of others. Many people from Quraish asked her for marriage but she refused them all.
Khadijah learnt more about Muhammad then she proposed to him to marry her. Muhammad was 25 years old then. Muhammad accepted the proposal despite the age, difference because Khadijah was a noble woman who possessed excellent and honorable qualities.
