The
Last Prophet
Muhammad, son of
Abdullah, Peace & Blessings be upon him
|
|
| |
The purpose of a Prophet
is described in the
Holly Qur'an, chapter 6:
[48] We send
the Messengers only to
give good news and to
warn: so
those who believe and
mend (their lives), upon
them shall be no fear,
nor shall they grieve.
[50] Say: "I
tell you not that with
me are the Treasures of
Allah, nor do I know
what is hidden, nor do I
tell you I am an angel.
I but follow what is
revealed to me."
The messages that
Prophets bring are for
the sole purpose of
human reformation and
benefit, not as an
abstract goal but as a
process of continual
refinement based on
inner human capacity and
thoughtful interactions
with the environment. It
is intended to motivate
people to achieve
excellence in this world
and thereby be rewarded
with excellence in the
Hereafter. |

Last Sermon of Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH)* |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
delivered, this sermon, on the Ninth Day of the Islamic
month of Dhul-Hijjah Year 632 AC (10 A.H.), during his last
pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj), only months before he passed
away in 632 AC.
After praising and thanking Allah the Prophet (saws) 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 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. Allah has forbidden you to
take usury (interest), therefore all interest obligations
shall henceforth be waived. Your capital is yours to keep.
You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity. Allah has
judged that there shall be no interest and that all the
interest due to Abbas ibn 'Abd'al Muttalib [the Prophet's
uncle] be waived.
Every right arising out of homicide in pre-islamic days is
henceforth waived and the first such right that i waive is
that arising from the murder of Rabiah ibn al Harithibn.
O People, the unbelievers indulge in tampering with the
calender in order to make permissible that which Allah
forbade, and to forbid that which Allah has made
permissible. With Allah the months are twelve in number.
Four of them are holy, three of these are successive and one
occurs singly between the months of Jumada and Shaban.
Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has
lost all hope of that he will 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
Allah's trust 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 anyone of whom
you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste. O
People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, say your
five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadhan, and
give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford
to.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority
over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an
Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a
black has any superiority over a white - 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 meet Allah and answer 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 my words which I convey to you. I leave
behind me two things, the Qur'an and my 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 may the last ones understand
my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my
witness, O Allah, that I have conveyed Your message to Your
people."
*PBUH = Peace Be Upon Him. |
