Khadija was by then convinced that she had finally found a man who was worthy of her, so much so that she initiated the marriage proposal herself.
Prophet Muhammad (May Allah raise his rank) sat to detail all the business transactions in which he became involved on her behalf, but the wealthy and beautiful lady of Quraysh was thinking more about her distant cousin than about those transactions. She simply fell in love with Prophet Muhammad (May Allah raise his rank)


Prophet Muhammad (May Allah raise his rank) was of medium stature, inclined to slimness, with a large head, broad shoulders and the rest of his body perfectly proportioned. His hair and beard were thick and black, not altogether straight but slightly curled. His hair reached midway between the lobes of his ears and shoulders, and his beard was of a length to match. He had a noble breadth of forehead and the ovals of his large eyes were wide, with exceptionally long lashes and extensive brows, slightly arched but not joined. His eyes were said to have been black, but other accounts say they were brown, or light brown. His nose was aquiline and his mouth was finely shaped. Although he let his beard grow, he never allowed the hair of his moustache to protrude over his upper lip. His skin was white but tanned by the sun. And there was a light on his face, a glow, but it was more, much more powerful, and it was especially apparent on his broad forehead and in his eyes which were remarkably luminous.
