9th of Zul Hajj, 10 AH- The Last Sermon of Holy Prophet (PBUH):
If you are looking for some inspirational lines to get all pumped up before leaving for Hajj, this extract from the last sermon of holy prophet (PBUH) will provide you all the motivation you require.
On the 9th of Zul Hajj, 10 AH (9 March 632), Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) delivered his last holy sermon. The sermon was delivered at Mount Arafat (in the Uranah valley), during the Islamic pilgrimage of Hajj.
The holy books of Sunnah, namely, Sahi Bukhari, Sahi Muslim and Sunan Abu Dawood covered and quoted some of the lines from the last sermon of holy prophet (PBUH).
The sermon has a number of common exhortations for Muslims to practice Islam, follow Quran and the teachings that Muhammad (PBUH) had established through Sunnah.
Shared below is the last Sermon of the holy prophet (PBUH) (9th of Zul Hajj, 10 AH):
"All praise is due to Allah, so we praise Him, and seek His pardon and we turn to Him. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of ourselves and from the evil consequences of our deeds. Whom Allah guides aright there is none to lead him astray; and there is none to guide him aright whom Allah leads astray. 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. He grants life and causes death and is Powerful over everything. There is no God but Allah, the One; He fulfilled His promise and granted victory to His bondsman, and He alone routed the confederates (of the enemies of Islam).
O’ People! Listen to my words, for I do not know whether we shall ever meet again and perform Hajj after this year. O’ Ye people! Allah says, O’ people We created you from one male and one female and made you into tribes and nations, so as to be known to one another. Verily in the sight of Allah, the most honoured amongst you is the one who is most God-fearing. There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab and for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for the white over the black nor for the black over the white except in God-consciousness.
All mankind is the progeny of Adam and Adam was fashioned out of clay. Behold; every claim of privilage whether that of blood or property, is under my heels except that of the custody of the Ka’bah and supplying of water to the pilgrims, O’ people of Quraish, don’t appear (on the Day of Judgement) with the burden of this world around your necks, whereas other people may appear (before the Lord) with the rewards of the hereafter. In that case I shall avail you naught against Allah.
Behold! All practice of the days of ignorance is now under my feet. The blood revenges of the days of ignorance are remitted. The first claim on blood I abolish is that of Ibn Rabiah bin Harith who was nursed in the tribe of Sa’ad and whom the Hudhayls killed. All interest and usurious dues accruing from the times of ignorance stand wiped out. And the first amount of interest that I remit is that which Abbas ibn Abd-al Muttalib had to receive. Verily it is remitted entirely.
