Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)'s Last Sermon to Mankind

This sermon was delivered by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on the Ninth Day of Dhul Hijjah 10 A.H. in the 'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat' (in Mecca).

After praising, and thanking Allah he 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 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 obligation 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 'Abd'al Muttalib (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, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, 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 black nor a black has any superiority over 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 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".

The Big Bang in Quran

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe"? -- Surat Al-'Anbyā' 21:30

The signs of Allah for those who understand.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those who understand". Surat 'Āli `Imrān (3:190)

"Those who remember Allah standing and sitting and lying on their sides and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: Our Lord! Thou hast not created this in vain! Glory be to Thee; save us then from the doom of Fire". Surat 'Āli `Imrān (3:191)

"Be", and it is!

"Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "Be", and it is! (Holy Quran
36:82)

Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies.

Those who collect wealth wrongfully through bribes, kickbacks and cheating and eat Harram, they do but swallow #‎FIRE into their bellies.

"Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning flame". Al-Quran (4:10).

And eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them

And when the trumpet is blown with one blast.
And the earth with the mountains shall be lifted up and crushed with one crash.
On that Day shall the (Great) Event come to pass.
And the sky will be rent asunder, for it will that Day be flimsy.
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.

Sūrat l-ḥāqah (69:13-17)

Greed and selfishness leads to hell fire.

Greed and selfishness have blinded us so much that we are blindly following our Lust and Desires and SATAN to outnumber each other in sin, corruption and transgression without thinking that we are here on earth for a short period of time , temporarily, like a traveler and that one day we will die and will return to our Lord and He will take us to task for what we did.

Time to reflect, repent, and amend. May Allah (swt) guide us to the right path.

"And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed, when the whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)". Al-Quran sūrat l-zumar Verse (39:67)

https://youtu.be/oYYb24OXeHI

رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةًۚ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Our Lord!" Let not our hearts deviate (from the right path) after Thou hast guided us, and bestow upon us mercy from Thy Presence. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Bestower. Surah Al-Imran -3:8

He Is The Almighty Allah.

Who is Allah (swt)?

Allah (God) is the creator and sustainer of all the worlds. He is the First and the Last, The Eternal, The Absolute, The Living and The Self-Existing One. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtile, the Aware. The Holy Qur'an is the Biggest living proof of His existence. He says in the Qur'an;

"Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!" Al-Qur’an (sūrat l-aʿrāf) 7:54.

هُوَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْءَاخِرُ وَٱلظَّٰهِرُ وَٱلْبَاطِنُ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things. Al-Quran (57:3)

قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ {1}

اللهُ الصَّمَدُ {2}

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ {3}

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ {4}

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.
SURAH AL-IKHLAS (112)

فَاطِرُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَمِنَ الْأَنْعَامِ أَزْوَاجًا يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيهِ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ

He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. He has made you and the cattle in pairs and has multiplied you by His creation. There is certainly nothing like Him. He is All-hearing and All-aware. Al-Quran (42:11)

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالأَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

"Lo! your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!" Al-Qur’an (sūrat l-aʿrāf) (7:54)

وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّماوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

"And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed, when the whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)". Al-Quran (39:67)

لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَا آلِهَةٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَا ۚ فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

If there were other gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, from all that they ascribe (unto Him). Al-Qur’an (21:22)

لاَّ تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ

Vision comprehendeth Him not, but He comprehendeth (all) vision. He is the Subtile, the Aware. Al-Quran (6:103)

قَالَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا أَنزَلَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ إِلَّا رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ بَصَائِرَ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّكَ يَا فِرْعَوْنُ مَثْبُورًا

“Moses said: In truth thou knowest that none sent down these (portents) save the Lord of the heavens and the earth as proofs, and lo! (for my part) I deem thee lost, O Pharaoh”. Al-Quran (17:102)

Those who do not believe in God, can they please tell us how this complex Universe and most importantly their own human body, a complex biological machine, in which billions of atoms and molecules interact with each so perfectly in harmony, came to existence without a creator, designer, fashioner and a sustainer???

The answer lies in the following beautiful verses of the Holy Qur'an, which are to me sufficient proofs of that creator whom we call Allah (swt) or God, who created all of this.

Who is Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) ?

Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is NOT a part of His creation or like anything in the Universe that we can see or comprehend with our 5 limited senses. He is beyond the Comprehension and understanding of our knowledge and understanding. He says it in the Qur'an;

لاَّ تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ
No Vision can grasp Him but His grasp is over (all) visions. He is the Subtile, the Aware. Al-Quran (6:103)

هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

He is the First and the Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is Knower of all things. Al-Quran (57:3)

لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ
There is nothing like Him (in the entire Universe). He is All-hearing and All-aware. Al-Quran (42:11)

قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ {1}

اللهُ الصَّمَدُ {2}

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ {3}

وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ {4}
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
And there is none like unto Him.
SURAH AL-IKHLAS (112)

Many atheists are curious about God’s existence and ask questions like why can’t they see God plainly or who is the creator of God etc..

There is nothing wrong being curious about God and his Creation. Prophet Ibrahim and Moses were also Curious too and prophet Moses even asked Allah (swt) to show Himself plainly, when God spoke with him directly in the valley of Tuwa, an honor no any other Prophet has received. But Allah said to Moses, you can not see me O Moses, but gaze upon this mountain and if it stand still in its place then you will see Me and when Allah (swt) revealed Himself to the mountain He sent it down crashing and Moses fell down unconscious. And when he woke he said: Glory be unto Thee! I turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first one to believe, that You exists (without any doubt).

For those who want to know why we as human can not see Allah (God) plainly, I ask them to Please watch this Video on Youtube in which Dr. Yasir Qadhi explains in the end why we can not see Allah (swt) Plainly, because, the powerful radiant rays that comes out from His Magnificent Majestic face are so strong and powerful that they will destroy everything that comes in its path and that’s why, the creation can not bear to see Allah (swt) plainly in this world. Our eyes is not strong and capable to see the brightness of the sun, a star of our solar system, for even a minute, leave alone to see Allah (swt) plainly.

The atheist’s question regarding the logical proof of God’s existence, I would say to them, Please check out the Qur’an. The Qur’an is full of all kind of logical, mathematical and scientific proofs and signs of God’s existence and if someone can not be convinced, after carefully reading and examining the 114 Surahs of the Qur’an, then to me, nothing can ever will convince him or make him to believe in God.

“Then in what fact after the Qur’an will they believe? Sarah Al-Mursalat (77:50)

https://archive.org/details/001AlFaatiha_20140310

Do they think, the Holy Qur’an, which describes many scientific and mathematical fact so precisely, including the big bang theory, human embryology, the reflection of moon light and their floating in an orbit etc., which were not known at that time of Prophet (PBUH) and were only discovered recently in our time after extensive scientific and medical research, was produced by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a person who never went to any school, college or university???

Qur’an is the only book in the world that is memorized word by word precisely by millions Muslims without making any mistake. No any other book in the history of mankind has been memorized so extensively and so precisely, and that is a great miracle of Qur’an.

The biggest problems with the atheists is that they reject Allah (God) without thoroughly studying and examining His book, the Quran, which is a huge challenge to all those who don’t believe in God. Here are some example of such challenges, logical points and proofs of the Quran to ponder upon.

The Holy Qur’an - A master piece of knowledge and wisdom.

“Say: If the mankind and the jinns were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another." Al-Qur’an (17:88)

(This is) a Scripture that We have revealed unto thee, full of blessing, that they may ponder its revelations, and that men of understanding may reflect”. Al-Qur’an (38:29)

“These are the portents of Allah which We recite unto thee (Muhammad) with truth. Then in what fact, after Allah and His portents, will they believe?”. Al-Qur’an, sūrat l-jāthiyah, Verse (45:6)

“Those unto whom We gave the Scripture recognize (this Qur’an) as they recognize their sons. But lo! a party of them knowingly conceal the truth”. Al-Qur’an, sūrat l-baqarah Verse (2:146)

When Prophet Moses said, 'My Lord, show Thyself to me that I may look at Thee.' ALLAH replied, 'Thou shalt not see ME.

"And when Moses came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, 'My Lord, show Thyself to me that I may look at Thee.' ALLAH replied, 'Thou shalt not see ME. But look at the mountain; and if it remains in its place, then thou shalt see ME.' And when his Lord manifested Himself on the mountain, HE broke it into pieces and Moses fell down unconscious. And when he recovered, he said: Glory unto Thee! I turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first to believe". (7:143)
