The Farewell Pilgrimage of the Prophet Muhammed was a significant historical
event in the Muslims life. Although thousands of Muslims witnessed the Farewell
(last) Sermon given by the Prophet Muhammed, the Hadiths books reported at
least three versions of the same Sermon. This only reflects how confusing,
misleading, distorted and inaccurate
are the Hadiths Books. For an event witnessed by over 10,000 people
an accurate narration should have been available, but it
has not.
As God promised in the Quran, His Hadith (Quran) will be
always , the BEST HADITH (39:23), the MOST ACCURATE HADITH (4:87), and the
" NOT FABRICATED HADITH" (12:111).
This copy of the last (Farewell) Sermon of the Prophet Muhammed
was distributed by Hamdard National Foundation (Pakistan). In this sermon,
we can witness the truth despite the corruption that involved the hadith
books.
People who believe God in His repeated assertions in the Quran that the
Quran is complete, perfect and fully detailed are in no need to this Hadith
or any other Hadith other than the Quran. God, however, insisted on putting
the truth in the way of those who get lost and seek other sources for Islam
other than the Quran.
Therefore for the sincere Muslim who is seeking the truth, and who will
read this reported Sermon, the truth will be clarified for him/her.
We will add Subtitles and comments between { ...}
to get your attention to some very
important issues. The actual sermon will be in green.
The (Last) Farewell Sermon
{(1) The Opening Statement of the Sermon :
It has the CORRECT SHAHADA, i.e. La Elaha Ella Allah.}
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.
I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH (La Elaha Ella
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 ( La Elaha Ella Allah),
the One; He fulfilled His promise and granted victory to His bondsman, and
He ALONE routed the confederates (of the enemies of Islam).
{Compare this Shahada with the Shahada of God, the
angels and those who posses knowledge as stated in the Quran in 3:18). ALSO
REMEMBER THAT THE SHAHADA of the Hypocrites in mentioned in 63:1, where the
hypocrites insist on changing God's First Commandment (Shahada) and add
Muhammed's name to La Elaha Ella Allah. Muhammed will complain to God from
them on the day of Judgment for deserting the Quran where the true
correct Shahada is mentioned in 3:18, See also our files
The Shahada of
the believers (Testimony
of Faith) and The False Shahada}
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 ,
therefore all usury obligations shall henceforth be waived. Your capital
is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity.
{(2) QURAN ALONE: }
Verily I have left amongst you that which will never lead you astray,
the BOOK OF ALLAH, which if you hold fast you shall never go astray.
And beware of transgressing the limits set in the matters of religion, for
it is transgression of religion, that brought destruction to (many people)
before you.
{See the call for the QURAN ALONE here. This is
the portion of the sermon that was corrupted by every group or sect
who want to hide the truth. They forgot that the truth of the Quran
cannot be corrupted.
Shiites changed this version of the Sermon to read,
the book of Allah and my family, while the Sunnites changed it to read, the
Book of Allah and my Sunnah. Only the version that talks about QURAN ALONE
is the only one that does not contradict the QURAN and does not have any
political motive behind it. It is the version ignored by the sects of the
Sunnites and Shiites because it does not support their political
agenda.}
{Here are the references to the three versions of
the Sermon
1) I leave with you Quran and Sunnah,
Muwatta, 46/3
2) I leave with you Quran and Ahl
al-bayt , Muslim 44/4, Nu2408; ibn hanbal 4/366; darimi 23/1, nu 3319.
3) I leave for you the Quran alone
you shall uphold it.
Muslim 15/19, nu 1218; ibn Majah 25/84, Abu dawud 11/56.
See Sahih Muslim, Book of Hajj, Book 7 , Number

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.
{(3) FIVE PRAYERS & ONE MONTH FOR FASTING.:
In another section of the sermon:}
Behold, Worship your Lord; offer prayers FIVE TIMES a day; observe
FAST IN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN; pay READILY the Zakat on your property; and
perform the pilgrimage to the House of God if you can afford to.
and obey your rulers and you will be admitted to the Paradise of your Lord.
{See here the call for following the rituals of
Islam as given to Abraham and repeated in the QURAN ALONE. Not like what
is mentioned in Bukhary, Moslem and others' books that add more prayers and
more fasting to what God has already decreed.}
{ The house of God is Only in Mecca (Kaaba)
and not the one in Medina, where the Muslims added an extra ritual to Hajj,
pilgrimage to the Prophet's tomb. The prophet never asked them to do that.
}
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 belongs 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.
{(4) QURAN ALONE AGAIN: In another part of
the sermon, the Prophet Muhammed was reported as saying :}
O People. Listen and obey , though a mangled Abyssinian slave is appointed
your Amir (ruler), PROVIDED he executes (the ordinance of ) THE BOOK OF
ALLAH among you.
{Here again the call is for QURAN ALONE}.
Editor's comment:
Those who are seeking to obey the Prophet Muhammed and follow his steps
have it easy because they got the book that God promised to preserve, the
BEST HADITH (Quran). Obeying the prophet Muhammed is to follow his
message, the Quran and Quran alone. When the prophet Muhammed died he left
behind ONLY one book completely written and preserved, i.e.
the Quran. He never left any Hadith books. These books are the innovations
added to Islam about 150-200 years after the death of the prophet.
