15. PROPHET's LAST SERMON 

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful This sermon was delivered on the ninth day of Dhul Hijah, 10 A.H. (632 A.D.) in the valley of Mount Arafat . The contents of the message were collected from different narrations, and there are other parts to it that are not mentioned here. This sermon still needs the authenticity of all of its parts to be checked. 

"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 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 interest, therefore, all interest obligations shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity. Allah has judged that there shall be no interest and that all interest due to Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib (the prophet's uncle) shall henceforth be waived. 

Every right arising out of homicide in pre-Islamic days is henceforth waived and the first such right I waive is that arising from the murder of Rabiyah bin Al-Harith (relative of the prophet). O Men, the unbelievers indulge in tampering with the calendar in order to make permissible that which Allah forbade, and to forbid that which Allah had made permissible. With Allah the months are twelve; four of them are holy; three of these are successive and one occurs singly between the months of Jumadah and Shaaban.. 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 right with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. If they abide by your right 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 any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never commit adultery. 

O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadhan, 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 white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim, and that 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 your selves. 

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 my 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 on my words to others, and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better that those who listen to me directly. Be my witness O Allah, that I have conveyed Your message to Your people." 

Alahumma infa`ni bima `allamtani wa `allamni ma yanfa`uni!

(OH ALLAH! Make useful for me what You taught me

and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me! (Aameen))

Guiding one soul to knowledge and faith is a momentous achievement.

It is what will earn us great blessings... (Insha Allah)

Please keep forwarding this "Hadith" to all ... Because

the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

"Pass on knowledge from me even if it is only one Verse" 

What is the Qur'an

The Most Widely Read Book in the World
All Muslims memorize some parts of the Qur'an to recite in their daily ritual prayers. The Qur'an is the Book of Allah (God) that was revealed in Arabic to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) over a period of twenty-three years. He dictated it to his followers as he received it from the Angel Jibril (Gabriel), and they wrote it down on whatever materials were available. The Prophet and many of his followers memorized it as it was revealed.

The Qur'an consists of 114 surahs (sometimes called chapters) of various lengths, from 3 to 286 verses. The verses were revealed a few at a time and not in their present order but were placed in their position by the Prophet in accordance to instructions from the Angel Jibril.

Shortly after the death of the Prophet, the first caliph, Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, ordered the scribe Zayd ibn Thabit to collect the manuscripts and make one copy of the Qur'an. He did so with the assistance of the hundreds of Companions of the Prophet who had memorized the Qur'an, thus assuring that nothing was added or omitted, and that the order of the verses was according to the Prophet's instructions. Later, the third caliph, 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, again asked Zayd to oversee the copying of the Qur'an. Several standard copies were made and sent to all the provinces of the Muslims, with orders that all other manuscripts be burned. This was to ensure that there would not be various readings of the Qur'an.

Thus, the Qur'an remains today exactly as it was revealed more than 14 centuries ago and contains the exact Words of Allah. Many thousands of Muslims have memorized it in each generation so that it was never forgotten. Further, the Arabic language in which the Qur'an was revealed remains a living language. There are copies of the Qur'an from the first century after the revelation in libraries in the Muslim world and comparing them to modern printed copies shows that the Qur'an has not changed over the centuries.

Only the Arabic text is the authentic Word of Allah. Translations of the meaning of the Qur'an have been made in many languages, but no translation can capture the full meaning of the Qur'an. Therefore, to properly understand the teachings of Islam, one must refer to and understand the Arabic text of the Qur'an.

What Is the Qur'an About?
Someone who is familiar with the Bible might expect the Qur'an to be similar, but they will be surprised to find that it is not. It is not a narrative or a collection of rules or a hymnal or a science book, yet it contains elements of all these things and more.

The Qur'an speaks of the nature of Allah, man's relationship with Allah, and man's relationship with others. The Qur'an has a unique style that moves from one topic to another, interweaving various themes, moving from the specific to the general and back again. For this reason, calling the surahs "chapters" is really a misnomer, for a chapter deals with one theme. The word "surah" is unique to the Qur'an.

The Qur'an also contains glimpses of the stories of previous prophets but, with the exception of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), does not tell each story in one unbroken narrative. Rather, in various places it relates certain details and asks us to reflect on their significance.

The verses revealed in Makkah during the first 13 years of the Prophet's mission generally deal with the articles of faith � the Oneness and Uniqueness of Allah, the Day of Judgment, the Angels, Prophets, previous Books, and Divine Decree. The verses revealed in Madinah, where the Muslims had established a nascent Islamic society, generally deal with social relationships between individuals and groups. Often just a few verses came down at a time to deal with a question or situation that had arisen in the Muslim community. Therefore, the study of the "reasons for revelation" - the background of when, where and why a particular verse was revealed - is integral to a scholars' understanding of the Qur'an.

The Qur'an remains the most widely read book in the world. All Muslims memorize some parts of it to recite in their ritual prayers daily. Many others devote a part of each day to reading the Qur'an, and even more so during the month of Ramadan. Further, there are still hundreds of thousands - both Arab and non-Arab - who have memorized the entire Qur'an.

What is Islam?

Islam is an Arabic word which means 'surrender'. This means to accept the power of Allah, and follow His Commands. Happiness in this life and success in the life after death can only be obtained by obeying Allah.
Islam is not just a religion, but a complete way of life. This means that it shows us how to live all aspects of our lives in the best possible way.
There are five pillars on which Islam stands, they are:
To firmly believe in the heart and declare' Laa ilaaha illallaah, Muhammadur-Rasulullah' "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.". This is what is meant by Iman (Belief)
To pray five times a day (perform Salah).
To pay Zakat.
To fast during the month of Ramadhan.
To go on Hajj (pilgrimage) to Makkah once in a lifetime if one can afford it.
A person who accepts Islam is called a Muslim. It means 'one who surrenders.' A Muslim is required to do all that Allah and His Messenger (pbuh) have asked of them, and to keep away from doing things which Allah and His Messenger (pbuh) have told not to do.
Allah and His Messenger (pbuh) have told us to do good deeds, like being dutiful to our parents, helping others who are less fortunate and to be kind to animals.(Truly, the religion with Allah, is Islam - Al-Imran, 3:19)
