Mohammed Hijab – Prophet Muhammad’s Farewell Speech in Arafah

			So, we're on the site here.
		

			And
		

			so what I wanted to kind of maybe put a reminder forward about is the Hutchinson WA, which is the
last speech of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam. And in many ways, one of the most important
speeches is ever done. Okay? And it was done on the day, a lot of fun fact. And in that speech,
power law, you'll find that he covers so there's so much coverage of different subjects. In that
particular speech where the Prophet Mohammed Salah Isilon made this kind of final grand speech. And
he made that speech in front of 124,000 people. And I remember, we talked about how the Prophet, and
the companions were being tortured to Mecca, and how they were forced into secrecy to the terms of
		

			like, professing their faith and so on and so forth. So from those humble beginnings, the Prophet
Muhammad Rasul, Allah went all the way to be able to preach Islam, to 124,000 people, which if you
think about the population of the world at the time was a massive crowd, 124,000 people in this
side, when a prophet was talking about things, and what did he mention? What did he want us to know?
What the things were the themes that he wanted us to kind of ponder on, in his speech, where the
Sahaba themselves, they realized that this might be the very last speech of the Bahamas Alliance,
Allah. So he talks about things which are very pertinent to both on both a macro level on a macro
		

			level, he talks about river, he talks about interests, he talks about, so hate monotheism, he talks
about family rights and women's rights, he talks about racism, he talks about all the things that
the West took, you know, 1400 years to kind of catch up on let's be honest about it. So panola Yes,
hello, luck. So, number one, Bahama, for example, we focused on tohei, and the prayers and so on and
so forth. Well, he also talks about the removal of je Leah the ways in which the people of the pre
Islamic ages to upgrade. And in particular, he talks about Riba which is interest based systems. And
he says that all of the river is no more all of the river, all of the interest is to be kind of
		

			stricken off. Now we don't we don't deal with those ways. And this strikes at the heart of the
capitalistic system as Muslims, we're not capitalists, were not profit maximizers who don't believe
in redistribution, you know, the Prophet told us there are ways in which you can make a halal
earning, there are ways in which you can deal with people and, and benefit them and be benefited by
them. Well, the Quran even says what
		

			Allah has allowed trade, but he has not allowed is not allowed interest. Why did the Prophet
mentioned and emphasize this, because he knew, as he mentioned, that there will come a time when he
will cover everything. And he actually mentioned this in the Hadith. And he said that no one time or
interest will cover absolutely everything to the extent whereby you won't be able to shake yourself
from the dustbin. And you have to try your best to keep away from it as much as possible. And which
is a lesson to us in the West as Muslims, because that's one of the fifth and for us, we think about
mortgages, we think about loans with interest, and so on and so forth. The prophet in his very final
		

			sermon in front of 134,000 people made it a point of concentration of emphasis, when he also talks
about what women's rights was supposed to be saying, hey, Ron, he said, Be good to your wives. He
said, Go to your wives and wives, because he said,
		

			Yes.
		

			Because he said that you have taken them with a covenant of Allah subhanaw taala. Now you imagine
this, where the Prophet has limited time, and he has limited subject matters to talk about, why is
he choosing, he's choosing the things which if they go wrong, society will crumble. For example, if
society chooses as the West, then you're gonna have incredible grooming and kind of a bust as you do
in the western economic system. If society chooses to have domestic problems, especially when women
are mistreated, then you're gonna have problems in that society. And it took the West so much time
to come to a conclusion that some kind of women's rights are required by the prophet talked about
		

			that for a long time ago. You know,
		

			he talks what else he talked about, as we said, racism, racism, right. We said that there's no
difference between a white man and a black man. And he said this also when you go to Mecca, when you
opened up my car and you stood in front of the Kaaba, and Bilaal down the front of the Kaaba, he was
a black man, who, in fact, was being whipped and hurt by those individuals and he was screaming and
shouting.
		

			But then he came to the time he came when he was doing the event. So I love the same voice, which
was in humiliation became the voice of
		

			franchise, the voice of authority? Yes, he did the event proclaiming the trophies that he was
proclaimed proclaiming in a situation of desperation, both in America as a black man in front of all
of those tribal individuals. And in fact, some Arabs of the non Muslims were saying, why is this
black man to Allah? How could you be the one over us like this? And this shows you the extent to
which Islam came to abolish slavery and abolish racism and those things? Yes. So you have to
understand something.
		

			In that last speech, he gave us so much hope. He gave us so much points of concentration. And as a
homework, what we should do is go back to that speech, where he did an alpha, where he spoke in
front of 134,000 people and revise those points of consideration.
