THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD'S LAST SERMON
(This Sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of DZulHijjah
10 A.H. in the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat )
"O People, lend me an attentive ear, for I don't know whether or not,
after this year, I shall ever be among you again.
Therefore listen carefully to what I am saying
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 usury (Interest),
therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived...
Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion.
He has lost all hope 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.
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 comitted helpers.
And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one
of whom you do not approve, as well as never to commit adultery.
O People, listen to me in earnest,
whorship ALLAH, say your five daily prayers (Solah),
fast during the month of Ramadhan,
and give your wealth in Zakat.
Perform Hajj if you can afford to.
You know that every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim.
YOU ARE ALL EQUAL.
NOBODY HAS SUPERIORITY OVER THE OTHER
EXCEPT BY PIETY AND GOOD DEEDS.
Remember, one day you will appear before ALLAH
and answer for 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 my words
which I convey to you.
I leave behind me two things,
the QUR'AN and my example,the 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."
