In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
Prophet Muhammad's (s.a.w) Last Sermon
[This sermon was delivered on the Ninth Day of Dhul-Hijjah 10 A.H. in the 'Uranah valley of
Mount Arafat' in Mecca.]
After praising and thanking Allah the Prophet (saws) said:
"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 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 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 'Abd'al Muttalib [the Prophet's uncle] be
waived.
Every right arising out of homicide in pre-islamic days is henceforth waived and the first such
right that i waive is that arising from the murder of Rabiah ibn al Harithibn.
O People, the unbelievers indulge in tampering with the calender in order to make permissible
that which Allah forbade, and to forbid that which Allah has made permissible. With Allah the
months are twelve in number. Four of them are holy, three of these are successive and one
occurs singly between the months of Jumada and Shaban.
Beware of Satan, for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope of that he will 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 anyone
of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste. O People, listen to me in
earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers, fast during the month of Ramadhan, and
give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to.
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 a black nor a
black has 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 belogs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and
willingly. Do not therefore do injustice to yourselves. Remember one day you will meet Allah
and answer 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 my words which I convey to you. I leave behind me
two things, the Qur'an and my 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."
