Quiz 93 – What was the name of Khadija (RA)’s cousin who was a priest?

Correct Answer is :

A) Waraqah ibn Nawfal

Description:

Waraqah ibn Nawfal was a Christian scholar and cousin of Khadijah (RA).

He was well-versed in the scriptures of the earlier Abrahamic faiths, including Christianity and Judaism.

When Khadijah (RA) took the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to Waraqah after the first revelation, Waraqah confirmed that the angel Jibreel (Gabriel) had appeared to the Prophet ﷺ, just as he had appeared to earlier prophets.

Waraqah recognized the signs of prophethood in Muhammad ﷺ and encouraged him to continue his mission.
