🕌 Final Sermon and Passing Away of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
In the 10th year after Hijrah, during the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajj), Prophet Muhammad ﷺ delivered his **Final Sermon** at the plain of **Arafat**. This sermon is a summary of his entire mission – a message of human rights, equality, faith, and guidance.
📜 The Final Sermon – A Message for All Humanity
On the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, the Prophet ﷺ addressed over **120,000 people**. Some of the key messages from the sermon included:
- All humans are equal regardless of race or tribe.
- The lives, properties, and honor of others are sacred.
- Women should be treated with kindness and justice.
- Usury (interest) is forbidden.
- The Qur’an and Sunnah are the sources of guidance.
He ended by asking: “Have I conveyed the message?” The people replied, “Yes!” He raised his finger to the sky and said, “O Allah, bear witness.”
🕊️ The Prophet’s Passing
A few months later, in **Rabi’ al-Awwal, 11 AH (632 CE)**, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ became ill. He stayed in the house of **Aisha (RA)** and after a short illness, he passed away peacefully in her lap on a Monday.
His death caused great grief. Even Umar (RA) initially denied the news until Abu Bakr (RA) addressed the people:
"Whoever worshipped Muhammad, know that he is dead. But whoever worships Allah, know that Allah is Ever-Living and never dies."
🌟 Legacy
- Left behind the Qur’an and his Sunnah as guidance.
- He is remembered as the greatest mercy to all creation.
- Millions continue to follow his message of peace, justice, and faith.
