THE LAST SERMON OF PROPHET MOHAMMAD PBUH. This sermon was delivered on the nineth day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H.in the uranah valley of Mount Arafat. After praising,and thanking Allah s.w.t the Messenger of Allah 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 convey 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 this 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 forbidded you to take usury (interest), therefore,all interest obligations shall henceforth be waived.Your capital however belongs to you.You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity.Allah swt has judged that there shall be no interest. * Beware of satan,for the safety of your religion.He has lost all hopes 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 Allah"s trust and with his permission.If they abide by your rights 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 your earnest,worship Allah ,say your five daily prayers (salah), fast during the month of Ramadhan, and give your wealth in zakat and perform Hajj,if you can afford to. * All mankind is from Adam and Eve pbut,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 black, nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good deeds.Know that every muslim is brother to every muslim and the muslims constitute single 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 Allah 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 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.
