Dear Brothers and Sisters Assalam-o-Alaikum:
I received the following from some source a long time back. I am
posting it for the benefit of brothers and sisters.
Wassalaam,
Irfan Hasan.
=============================================================================
THE LAST SERMON OF THE PROPHET (PBUH)
-------------------------------------
The Prophet Muhammad's (SallahoAlaihWaaleWassallam-SWW) Last Sermon
This sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul-Hijjah 10 A.H. in the
'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat' in Makkah.
After praising, and thanking Allah he 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 usuary (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 (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'Men, the Unbelievers indulge in tampering with the calender in order to
make permissible that which Allah forbade, and to permit 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 right 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 ernest, worship ALLAH, say your five daily prayers
fast during month of Ramadan, 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
superiorityover black nor a black has any superiority over 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 belogs 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 astray 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 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."
