The Last Sermon of Rasoolullah( ﷺ )
Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ said, ” O People! Listen to what I say. I do not know Whether Iwill ever meet you at this place after this year.”
Life and property of the Muslims
Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ said, “Your Blood, your property, and y your honour are as sacred as this day, this month, and this city (Makkah and the surrounding areas) you will go back to be resurrected (after death ) to your Lord. There you will account for your deeds. So, do not turn into people who go astray and kill one another.”(Sahih al Bukhari 1/234)
Blood Revenge and Usury
Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ said, Behold! All practices of paganism and ignorance are now under my feet. The blood revengeof the days of ignorance (pre-Islamic time) is remitted. The first claim on blood I abolish is that of Ibn Rabi” ah bin Harith, who was being nursed in the tribe of Sa”d amd whom Hudhail killed . Usury is forbidden, and I make a beginning by remitting the amount of interest which Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib has to receive. Verily, it is remitted entirely. “(Sahih Muslim 1/397)”
Rights of women
Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ said,O people! Fear Allah )سبحانه وتعالى( concerning wome Verily, you have taken them on the security of Allah( )سبحانه وتعالى( and have made their persons lawful unto you by the Word of Allah )سبحانه وتعالى! It is incumbent upon them to honour their conjugal rights and not to commit acts of impropriety, which, if they do, you have the authority to chastise them, yet not severely. If your wives refrain from impropriety and are faithful to you, clothe and feed them suitably.” (Sahih Muslim 1/397)
Worship of Allah سبحانه وتعالى
Hazrat Muhammad said, “O’ people, I am not succeeded by a Nabi, and you are not succeeded by any nation. So, I recommend you to worship your Lord, to offer the five prayers, to fast in Ramadan, and to pay the Zakat (dues to the poor) of your provision willingly. I recommend you to perform the pilgrimage to the Sacred House of your Lord and obey those who are in charge of you, then and to obey t you will be awarded to enter the Paradise of your Lord.” (Sahih Muslim 1/397)
Hazrat Muhammad اليات التعليسة rersic
Not non-Arab nor an Arab has any superiority over an Arab. A white has
for
no superiority over “All mankind is from Adam and Eve. An Arab has no superiority over a black nor a black any superiority over a white except by piety and good actions. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and 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.” (Sahih Muslim 1/397)
The Quran and The sunnah
Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ said, Remember, one day you will appear before Allah(سبحانه وتعالى)and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone. Verily, I have left among you the Book of Allah (سبحانه وتعالى), if you hold fast to it, you shall never go astray.”(sahih muslim 1/397)The life of Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ)is the best example to follow for all humankind.
Bearing Witness
Hazrat Muhammad (ﷺ) said, Have I not delivered the message (of my Lord)?” yes, you have,” they responded. He (ﷺ)said, “And you will be asked about me, what are you going to say ?”They replied, “We bear witness that you have conveyed the message and fulfilled your mission.”He (ﷺ) raised his forefinger skywards and then moved it down towards people while saying, “O Allah(سبحانه وتعالى)! bear witness”.He (ﷺ) said that phrase thrice. “Let him that is present convey it to him who is absent. Those to whom the message is conveyed may have more understanding of it than the audience (Sahih Bhukhari 1/234, Sahih Muslim 1/339)
The last sermon of Hazrat Muhammad (رسول الله قالة البيت) has great importance in the life of Muslims. It gives a complete message to all Muslims to lead their lives in light of the teachings of Islam.
