The Greatest speech ever
In the Sunni tradition, the Farewell Sermon of the Prophet Muhammad, known as Khutbatul Wada, holds immense significance as one of his final addresses to the Muslim community. Given during his farewell pilgrimage to Mecca in 632 AD, this sermon encapsulates essential teachings and guidance that are foundational to the Islamic faith.
During this address, the Prophet emphasized principles crucial to the Muslim community. He stressed the importance of unity and brotherhood among believers, regardless of their backgrounds, declaring that all Muslims are equal in the eyes of Allah. This emphasis on unity has remained a cornerstone of Islamic teachings, guiding interactions within the community.
In the Farewell Sermon, the Prophet also highlighted the rights of women, urging respect, kindness, and fair treatment towards them. This emphasis on gender equity and the protection of women’s rights was a groundbreaking aspect of the Prophet’s teachings.
Furthermore, the sermon addressed the prohibition of oppression in all its forms, emphasizing justice, fairness, and the sanctity of life, property, and honor. The Prophet also reiterated the prohibition of usury (riba) and stressed the importance of engaging in ethical financial transactions.
The significance of the Farewell Sermon lies in its comprehensive nature, covering a wide range of essential topics that continue to shape Islamic teachings and practices. From guidance on worship and fulfilling religious obligations to emphasizing honesty, integrity, and the preservation of trusts, the sermon provides a moral and ethical framework for believers to follow.
Moreover, in the Farewell Sermon, the Prophet declared the finality of his prophethood, affirming that his message was complete and that there would be no more prophets after him. This declaration solidified the teachings of Islam and emphasized the importance of adhering to the Quran and the Prophet’s Sunnah as the ultimate sources of guidance for Muslims.
Overall, the Farewell Sermon of the Prophet Muhammad is a profound and enduring testament to his wisdom, compassion, and commitment to establishing a just and moral society. It continues to serve as a source of inspiration and guidance for Muslims worldwide, reinforcing the core principles of Islam and guiding believers in their spiritual and ethical journeys.
“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 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 obligations 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 the interest due to Abbas ibn Abdul 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 with 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 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 to be unchaste.
“O People, listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, perform your five daily prayers (salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford it.
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 black nor does a black have 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, therefore, 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.
O 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 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”.
