Time to celebrate the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). Happy Maulud Nabiyy!

Last sermon of the prophet

"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.
God 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.
God has Judged that there shall be no
interest, and that all the interest due to
Al-Abbas ibn Abd’el Muttalib 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 a trust
from God 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 God, perform your five daily
prayers, fast during the month of
Ramadan, and offer Zakat. Perform Hajj
if you have the means.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve.
An Arab has no superiority over a non-
Arab, nor does a non-Arab have any
superiority over an Arab; a white has no
superiority over a black, nor does a
black have any superiority over a white;
[none have superiority over another]
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 God 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 it may be that the last
ones understand my words better than
those who listen to me directly. Be my
witness, O God, that I have conveyed
your message to your people."
