Prophet
Muhammad صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (pbuh) final sermon was
delivered during the Hajj of the year 632 C.E., the ninth day of Dhul Hijjah,
the 12th month of the lunar year, at Arafat, the most blessed day of the year.
There were countless Muslims present with the Prophet during his last pilgrimage
when he delivered his last Sermon.
The
Final Sermon:
After
praising, and thanking God, the Prophet, may اللَّهُ send His
praises upon him said:
► “O
People, lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I
shall ever be amongst you again. Therefore, listen to what I am saying to you
very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here
today.
► O
People, just as you regard this month, this day, this city as Sacred, so regard
the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods
entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt
you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed
reckon your deeds. اللَّهُ has forbidden you to take usury
(interest), therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your
capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any
inequity. اللَّهُ has Judged that there shall be no interest, and
that all the interest due to Abbas ibn Abd’al Muttalib shall henceforth be
waived...
►
Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he
will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him
in small things.
► O
People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but
they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives
only under a trust from اللَّهُ and with His permission. If they
abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in
kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your
partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make
friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be
unchaste.
► O
People, listen to me in earnest, worship اللَّهُ , perform your five
daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadan, and offer Zakat. Perform Hajj
if you have the means.
►
All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab,
nor does a non-Arab have any superiority over an Arab; white has no superiority
over black, nor does a black have any superiority over white; [none have
superiority over another] except by piety and good action. Learn that every
Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one
brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow
Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do
injustice to yourselves.
►
Remember, one day you will appear before اللَّهُ and answer for
your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am
gone.
► O
People, no prophet or apostle will come after me, and no new faith will be
born. Reason well, therefore, O people, and understand words which I convey to
you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my .example, the Sunnah, and
if you follow these you will never go astray.
►
All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others
again; and it may be that the last ones understand my words better than those
who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O اللَّهُ , that I have
conveyed your message to your people.”
Thus
thee beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ completed his
Final Sermon, and upon it, near the summit of Arafat, the revelation came down:
Allah
says: ► “…This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My Grace
upon you, and have chosen Islam for you as your religion…” ₯ sura AL MAEDA
chapter 5 verse 3
