Attention please: Avoid extremes in religious as well worldly matters, for peace and salvation lie only in following the middle path. Thanks!
And We Allah has not sent you (Muhammad) except as a blessing to the whole universe (to all times [Al-Quraan-XXI: 107]
Preachers sent abroad:
The Holy Prophet (Sallallaho Alyhe Wassallam) deputed the companion of great calibre like-named Ma aaz-Bin-Jabal,(Radhi Allah Unho) and those who were trained by Him (S.A.W ) at his Suffa, the open university (first Islamic university) which graduated as many as 13000, companions for a mission, to the world over from Rome to China.
Hadhrut Abu Bakr( R.A.):First Muslim Hajj.
When Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaho Alyhe Wassallam) was to leave for Tabuuk he (Sallallaho Alyhe Wassallam) appointed Hadhrat Abu Bakr (Allah is blessed with his) to lead the first Muslim Hajj congregation for pilgrimage in and or out Makkah. Hadhrat Ali (Allah is blessed with his) was deputed later on to announce 40 verses of Sura Tauba during this first Hajj of Muslims concealing the treaties with border tribes who were hypocrites as in Sura (IX: 1 to 8 Al-Quraan)
Hajj-tul-widaa and a farewell sermon:
The holy prophet was in the 63rd year of his age, His entire mission was in process of fulfillment. The divine modality of her life partner has been established as the best source of justice, piety, well-being and human prosperity with peace and coexistence. People in complete ignorance and completely paralyzed by sin, vices and the satanic system have been fully trained to adopt the Divine System of peace and tranquility with justice and equity.
He announced that he would direct his (S.A.W) first and last hajj in the 10th year Hijrah. People in great numbers as this was assisted by 1,20,000 to 1,40,000 faithful. Allah declared The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) to be the noblest and the most pious (SURA XLIX9.13) O! Humanity, We (Allah) create you from a male and distributed you to the communities that you can recognize one another. Surely the noblest among you in the sight of Allah is he who is most pious. Surely Allaah knows Aware.
On arrival at Zul-Halifa, He( blessings and salutation of Allah on him,) put on pilgrimages, garb entered Makkah with great serenity and dignity and made seven circles around the Ka'aba. He (blessings and salutations of Allah on him) reached the valley of Namrah at sunrise on the 9th of Zullhajjah (holy month of the Islamic year) in the 10th Hijrah. On one side of this valley lies Arafat and on the other is Muzullifa. After the sunset, the Holy Prophet (blessings and salutations of Allah on him) began from here and reached Arafat. All the plain was crowded with people to its full capacity: and everyone was busy in glorification and sanctification of Allah and there is no one else worth worship except Allah(Sobhanaho)
The Holy Prophet ( blessings and salutation of Allah on him) road his she-camel Qaswa and delivered the famous Fare Well Sermon as his address of the Hajj-ul-Widaa., This is the fundamental human rights more than 1400 years old but always up to date Human Rights Charter better than the U.N.O.
On the slaughtering day, the Holy Prophet (blessings and salutations of Allah on him) sacrificed sixty-three camels with his own sacred hands symbolizing perhaps life 63 years of his physical life herein. 37 animals were sacrificed for Him by Hazrat Ali, "The Lion of Allah", (Allah is pleased with him ).
This sacrifice was enacted in Minaa (area near Makkah,) then the Holy Prophet(blessings and salutations of Allah on him) came to Ka'abah and made seven circumstances (Twaff-e-Afada of Ka'abah) then he went to Medina Tayyaba. Since he( blessings and salutation of Allah on him ) had led this Hajj for the first and the last time, and preached with the highest calibre for the last time, the highest assembly, of the sincerely Muslims, therefore, it is called Hajja-Tu-Widaa, ( the last Hajja-Tu-Balagh( pilgrimage of preaching).
Then you (blessings and salutations of Allah on him) perform all the rites prescribed Hajj which become His Sunnah. He (blessings and salutations from Allah upon him) had performed only one Omra. Preach He delivered on the back of His ( blessings and salutations of Allah on him ) She-Camel, named The Qaswa, as his farewell Sermon the height of his eloquence, Oratory and religious fervour so seriously taken by everyone present there. The text of the sermon continues...
THE SPEECH OF THE SERMON.
Last sermon of the last and the Holy Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaho Alaihi Wassallam). The sermon was delivered on the ninth day of Dhull Hajja 10-AH in the Urana Valley of Arafat Mountain.
"O people, lend me (Sallallaho Alyhe Wassallam) an attentive ear, for I know not whether, after this year, I shall be among you again. Therefore, listen to what I am saying and address these words to those who are not here today".
O people, just as you respect this month, this day, this city as sacred, you regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Don't hurt anyone so that no one hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Rubbs (sustain-er) and that He will indeed rely upon your actions. Allah Subhana Vata'la banned you from taking usury (interest). Therefore, all interest (usury) obligations, including the interests of my own Uncle Abbas R.A, will henceforth be waived."
It's true that you have certain rights over your women, but they also have rights over you. If they uphold your rights, they have the right to be fed and clothed in goodness. And you have the right that they do not meet those you do not approve of and that they never commit adultery." And it is your right that they do not make acquaintance with anyone of whom you do not approve and that they never will commit adultery."
O men, listen to me (Sallallaho Alyhe Wassallam) seriously. Worship only Allah, offer yours five times daily prayers (salaat), keep fasts during the holy month of Ramadhan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj, if you can afford it. You know that every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. You are all equal. Nobody has superiority over others except by piety and good action.
Remember, one day you will appear before Allah and answer for your actions and deeds herein. So be aware. Do not stray from the path of righteousness after I (Sallallaho Alyhe Wassallam) am gone.
''O people, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well, therefore, O people, understand my words which I convey to you. I (Sallallaho Alyhe Wassallam) leave behind me two things, the Quraan and my example, the Sunnah. If you follow these you will never go astray.
"All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those others to next ones and so on.
The last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me nearby directly.
''Be my witness O Allah,(Subhanahu) that I have conveyed your message to your devotees".
This is what the Holy Quraan says about his great Messenger-ship as well as his being the best well-wisher of mankind for all time to come:
Laquddjaa'akom Rasoolom Minunfosaikom Azizonalaihai Manitoulin Harrison Alaikom Bilmomainina Rauforraheem.( Al-Quraan IX-128)
"Surely a Messenger has com amongst you from amongst yourselves. (if any of)you fall in a trouble it hurts him grievously as he is all the time desirous of your welfare. To the believers he is so compassionate and so merciful." ( Al-Quraan IX-128)
