- The Farewell Sermon of our beloved Prophet Muhammad Mustafa ﷺ, delivered in the Plain of Arafat, serves as a universal charter for all humanity and provides the best guiding principles for living in this world.
- The Last Sermon of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was delivered at the Plain of Arafat during the farewell pilgrimage. Here are the key points of that sermon:
- After praising Allah, he said: "O people! Listen to my words carefully, for I do not know whether I will be among you next year at this place. O people! Your blood, your wealth, and your honor are sacred to one another until the Day of Resurrection, just as this day, this month, and this city are sacred. You will soon meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me and start killing one another."
- If anyone has a trust, let him return it to its owner. Interest (usury) is abolished. You will keep your capital; do not commit injustice, nor be subjected to it. Allah has decided that interest is abolished, and the first interest I abolish is that of Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib."
- O people! The devil has despaired of being worshiped in this land, but he is pleased with lesser sins being committed, so keep your religion safe from him."
- The number of months in Allah’s Book is twelve, as it was the day Allah created the heavens and the earth. Four of these months are sacred: three (Dhu al-Qi'dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and Muharram) are consecutive, and Rajab is a solitary month."
- O people! Listen carefully! I particularly urge you to fear Allah concerning women. You have taken them as your wives in the name of Allah, and you have made their bodies lawful for you through Allah’s word. Your right over women is that they do not allow anyone into your bed. If they do, you may discipline them in a manner that does not cause injury. Their right over you is that you provide for them well in terms of food and clothing. Treat your slaves kindly; feed them what you eat and clothe them with what you wear."
- Allah has given each rightful heir their due in inheritance. No bequest is permissible for an heir. A child is the heir of the one whose bed he was born in. Adulterers should be punished with stones, and their accountability is with Allah."
- A woman is not allowed to take anything from her husband’s wealth without his permission. Debts should be repaid, borrowed items returned, and gifts should be returned. A guarantor is responsible for what is guaranteed. A person is only accountable for their own crime; a son is not responsible for his father's crime, nor is a father responsible for his son's crime."
- If a black man with a cut-off nose is appointed as your leader and he leads you according to the Book of Allah, then obey him."
- Do not fall into prejudice based on language, color, or race. No one is superior to another; an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor does a non-Arab over an Arab, nor does a white person over a black person, or a black person over a white person. Every Muslim is a brother to another Muslim. You are all equal in the sight of Allah, and the only superiority is through piety."
- O people! There is no prophet after me, and there will be no new community formed. Listen well! Worship your Lord, perform the five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadan, and perform Hajj to the House of Allah."
- Those present here must convey this message to those who are absent, and it is possible that those who come later may understand my words better than those who are here."
- He then raised his face toward the sky and said, "O Allah! Be a witness; I have conveyed Your message to Your people."
- I leave behind two things among you. If you hold onto them tightly, you will never go astray. What are these two things? The Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah."
- O Allah, grant us the ability to act upon the commands of the Last Prophet, the Mercy to the Worlds, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). Ameen."
