Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered his last sermon (Khutbah) on the ninth of Dhul Hijjah (12th and last month of the Islamic year), 10 years after Hijrah (migration from Makkah to Madinah) in the Uranah Valley of mount Arafat. His words were quite clear and concise and were directed to the entire humanity. 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 to you very carefully and TAKE THESE WORDS TO THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE PRESENT HERE TODAY." Prophet Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon him) emphasized following in his last sermon: -Sacredness of a Muslim’s life and property -The importance of propagating this message to all others (A Muslim’s responsibility thus does not end by following the religion) -A reminder that everyone is fully accountable for their deeds and Allah (God) will take every person into account. If everyone heeded to this fact alone, the world would be a much better place today. -“Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.” These words of the prophet are self explanatory. -The prohibition of dealing with interest (Numerous accounts in Quran and Hadith prohibit taking, giving or being a part of any transaction dealing with interest). -“You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity.” These words of the prophet are self explanatory. -The awareness of satan and how satan can work to deviate us from the right path and doing evil things. -Rights of women over men and rights of men over women. -Treatment of women with kindness. -Modesty and chastity in women. -The importance of worshiping Allah (saying your five daily prayers (Salah), fasting during the month of Ramadan, giving charity (Zakat) and performing pilgrimage (Hajj). -Equality amongst all (blacks, white, Arabs, non-Arabs, etc.) -The need to establish justice. -Islam is the final divine religion (Last prophet and Last Book). " 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”." src: (Al-Bukhari, Al-Muslim, al-Tirmidhi, Ahmed bin Hanbal) Let’s do our part in following the prophet’s message and propagating the message to everyone we know.
