Farewell speech of Prophet Muhammed (saw)

[*flowers*]

This speech is spoken by the prophet in the day of ARAFAT in the FAREWELL HAJJ the one and only hajj the prophet has. i hope you open eyes and read from your heart as its the prophet muhammad is speaking to you as the sahaba's (RA) cried.

O People
Lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefor listen to what I am saying to you 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 usury (interest); therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity.

Allah has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all interest due to Abbas Ibn ‘Abd al Muttalib (the Prophet's uncle) 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 in 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 right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat you 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 earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the 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 superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a 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 belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not therefor, 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. 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 the Sunnah (Hadith), 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 listened to me directly. Be my witness, O Allah, that I have conveyed your message to your people."
then he read :

Çáúíóæúãó ÃóßúãóáúÊõ áóßõãú Ïöíäóßõãú æóÃóÊúãóãúÊõ Úóáóíúßõãú äöÚúãóÊöí æóÑóÖöíÊõ áóßõãõ ÇáÅöÓúáÇóãó ÏöíäðÇ

"This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion;"

Khutbah: The Prophet's First Khutbah in Madinah



MAY PEACE AND ALLAH'S MERCY AND BLESSINGS BE UPON THE MUSLIMS

FIGHTING IS PRESCRIBED FOR YOU THOUGH YOU MAY HATE IT, AND IT MAY BE
THAT YOU HATE A THING WHICH IS GOOD FOR YOU AND THAT YOU LIKE A THING WHICH
IS BAD FOR YOU. ALLAH KNOWS BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW. 2:216

THEY WILL NEVER FIGHT AGAINST YOU TOGETHER EXCEPT IN FORTIFIED TOWNS AND
FROM BEHIND WALLS. 59:14






Khutbah: The Prophet's First Khutbah in Madinah






All praise is due to Allah. I thank Him and seek His aid. I ask His
forgiveness, and seek His guidance. I believe in Him and do not deny Him. I am
the enemy of those who reject belief in Him. I bear witness that there is
no one worthy of worship, other than Allah, Him alone, without partner; and
that Muhammad is His servant and messenger whom He sent with guidance,
true religion, light, and advice after a long gap of time when no messengers
were sent, knowledge was little, people were misguided, and time appeared
to have stopped as the Day of Judgment approached.

Whoever obeys Allah and His messenger is wise and whoever disobeys them is
astray, wasted, and has lost his way far from the true path. I advise you
to fear Alláh and be conscious of Him. Be conscious of what Alláh warned
you of Himself. There is no better advice than that or a better reminder.
It is a shield for those who follow this advice carefully and cautiously
and it is an aid, and the truth that will get you what you aspire for on the
Day of Judgment. Whosoever establishes a good relationship between him and
Allah, secretly and openly, only to seek the pleasure of Allah, will
benefit in this life and be saved in the afterlife when he will be in dire need
of the good deeds he earned before death. Man will then wish that there
were a great distance between him and anything else other than taqwa.

Allah warns you about Himself and He is kind to his servants. Allah, who
has spoken the Truth and fulfilled his promise, has said: "I do not change
My words and I do not oppress My servants" (50:29). Fear Allah in your
present and future affairs, in secret and in the open for (Allah has said:)
"Whosoever fears Allah, his sins will be forgiven and his reward will be
many fold" (65:5) and "Whosoever fears Allah will achieve great success."
Having taqwa (fearful awareness of Allah) protects man from Allah's anger,
protects him from His punishment and protects him from His wrath. Taqwa
illumines the face, pleases the Lord, and elevates the rank.

Take what is determined for you and do not neglect your relationship with
Allah. He has taught you His book, laid down for you His path so that He
will know which of you are the truthful and which of you are the liars.
Therefore, do good, just as Allah has done good to you, and be enemies to His
enemies, (for Allah has said:) "And strive in the way of Allah sincerely
for He has chosen you and named you Muslims" and "That those who have died
(striving in His way) might die after a clear sign (had been given to
them), and those who go on to live might live after a clear sign (had been
given to them)" (8:42). There is no strength other than by Allah, thus
increase the remembrance of Allah, and work for what will come after death, for
whosoever builds a good relationship with Allah, Alláh will protect him
from the harm or need of people. Allah surely decrees what is destined for
mankind, whereas they have no control over Him, and He has in store for
them what they cannot have in store
for Him. Allah is great. There is no power except by Allah, Elevated, the
Great.
