A Glimpse into the Last Sermon of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to show case that he was a true revolutionary, a challenger of Status quo, Mercy to the Mankind.
The Last Sermon of Muhammad , Mercy to the mankind (p b u h)
1. The Last Sermon Of Muhammad, Mercy to The
Mankind ( Peace Be Upon Him)
2. The whole world is celebrating the Birthday of The
Holy Prophet (Peace Be upon Him),
I just tried to go through the last sermon of the Holy
Prophet (Peace Be upon Him) which he gave at the
gathering of Hajj.
4. He broke the shackles of slavery, mankind
was delivered from thousands of gods and
their tyranny.
He Proclaimed:
“I bear witness that there is no God but
Allah, the One, having no partner with
Him. His is the sovereignty and to Him is
due all
praise.”
5. He broke the chains of race and colour and set the
humans free from these prejudices.
He Said: “Allah created you from one male and
one female and made you into tribes and
nations, so as to be known to one another.”
6. He changed the merit of greatness from wealth and
belongings to piety
He said: “In the sight of Allah, the most
honoured amongst you is the one who is most
God-fearing.”
7. He made the lives and property of everyone honourable
and precious for everyone else.
He said: “Your blood, your property and your
honour are sacred and inviolable until you appear
before your Lord.
Verily you will soon meet your Lord and you will be
held answerable for your actions.”
8. When people were burying their girls alive he talked
about Women Rights
He declared:
• “You have got certain rights over your women
and your women have certain rights over you.
• It is not permissible for a woman to give
anything from the wealth of her husband to
anyone but with his consent.
• Fear Allah concerning women”
9. He Gave The Concept Of Fair Inheritance
“O’ people! Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, has
ordained to everyone his due share (of inheritance).
Hence there is no need (of special) testament for an
heir.”
10. Debts , Borrowing And Gifts
He decreed;
“All debts must be repaid, all borrowed property
must be returned, gifts should be reciprocated
and a surety must make good the loss to the
assured.”
11. Ones Responsibility For Own Deeds
“Beware! No one committing a crime is responsible
for it but himself.
Neither the child is responsible for the crime of his
father, nor the father is responsible for the crime of
his child.”
12. Universal Brotherhood
“O’ People! Every Muslim is the brother of every
other Muslim, and all the Muslims form one
brotherhood. And your slaves; see that you feed
them with such food as you eat yourselves, and
clothe them with the clothes that you
yourselves wear.”
13. The Last Prophet
“O’ people! No Prophet would be raised after me
and no new Ummah (would be formed) after you.”
14. Rules Will Remain The Same And Nobody Will Be Able To
Exploit The Religion
He affirmed: “Verily I have left amongst you that
which will never lead you astray, the Book of Allah,
which if you hold fast you shall never go astray.”
15. Behold! Worship your Lord; offer prayers five
times a day; observe fast in the month of
Ramadhaan; pay readily the Zakat (poor due) on
your property;
and perform pilgrimage to the House of God and
obey your rulers and you will be admitted to the
Paradise of
your Lord.
16. Transport your self to that age when ignorance was at
its peak
A society which was full of violence, greed, vengeance
and hatred
And then see the Greatness of Muhammad (Peace Be
Upon Him)
17. A True Revolutionary
He raised the slogan of humanity,
He raised his voice for the rights of the oppressed
groups of the society including women, children and
elderly.
When the life of human beings carried no value he
taught mankind to consider the rights of the animals.
18. A True Revolutionary
Just consider the courage and conviction that would be
required to raise these issues at a time when the
society was divided on the lines of tribes and families,
Where the matter of pride was the wealth and
belongings which one had and
Where the people of one race considered it
appropriate to kill others without any remorse and
hesitation.
19. A True Revolutionary
He told the mankind that the lives of others, property
and blood are sacred.
Even today when media is so independent and
knowledge is so wide spread and it is so easy to reach
out to the information; still raising your voice against
the prejudices based on race, colour and creed is so
difficult.
He raised his voice against the Status quo…
20. Mercy to the Mankind
Surely the Holy Prophet (Peace Be upon Him) was the
mercy to the mankind and will be so forever.
He was the one who raised his voice for the truth in the
darkest hour of history and he stood by his words and
beliefs with the courage that is unparalleled in the
history of mankind.
21. Today in the name of openness of mind, people find it
befitting to try to smear his personality by raising
objections and creating misconception about his
message and his life.
So I just took few extracts from the last sermon of the
Holy Prophet (Peace Be upon Him) to show case it to
the world what the Holy Prophet (Peace Be upon Him)
stood for.
To see that he was a revolutionary and a challenger of
Status quo…..
