The Farewell Sermon

The Prophet’s ﷺ Counsel at ‘Arafah and Mina: Human Dignity, Women’s Rights, Equality and His Final Charge to the Ummah, According to the Qur’an and Authentic Hadith

At ‘Arafah and Mina, before more than a hundred thousand pilgrims, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: “What day is this?” Then he declared the blood, property and honour of every person sacred, abolished pagan usury and vendettas, counselled kindness to women, and closed with: “Let the one present convey to the one absent.” The twenty-ninth book of The Prophet’s Sirah explains the Farewell Sermon.

What You Will Learn

The sermons of the Farewell Pilgrimage — at ‘Arafah, Mina and the days of Tashriq, and how we know their wording (Sahih Muslim 1218; Sahih al-Bukhari 1739, 4406).
The sanctity of life, property and honour — “like the sanctity of this day, this month, this land”, and “time has come round”.
Paganism under his feet — blood-feuds and usury abolished, beginning with his own family (Al-Baqarah 2:278).
Women and the family — “fear Allah concerning women” (Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 1163), lineage, wills and debts (2120).
The Book of Allah, obedience and equality — five keys to Paradise (616), obeying just leaders (Sahih Muslim 1838), no superiority of Arab over non-Arab.
The final charge — “do not revert to disbelief after me” (Sahih al-Bukhari 121), “let the one present convey”, and a check of popular wordings.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرࣲ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ شُعُوبࣰا وَقَبَآئِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓاْۚ إِنَّ أَكۡرَمَكُمۡ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتۡقَىٰكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرࣱ

“O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.”

Surah Al-Hujurat (49): 13 — Sahih International

🌿 Reflection When the Prophet ﷺ said “let the one present convey to the one absent”, we were the ones absent. Now it is our turn to be “the ones present” for the generations to come.
