Date delivered: 632 A.C., 9th day of Dhul al Hijjah,
10 A.H. in the 'Uranah valley of Mount Arafat.
After praising, and thanking God, he said:
"O People, listen well to my words, for I do not
know 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.
Treat others justly so that no one would be unjust
to you. Remember that you will indeed meet your
LORD, and that HE will indeed reckon your deeds.
God has forbidden you to take usury (riba),
therefore all riba obligation shall henceforth
be waived. Your capital , however, is yours to
keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity.
God has judged that there shall be no riba and that
all the riba due to `Abbas ibn `Abd al Muttalib
shall henceforth be waived.
Every right arising out of homicide in pre-Islamic
days is henceforth waived and the first such right
that I waive is that arising from the murder of
Rabi`ah ibn al Harith ibn `Abd al Muttalib.
O Men, the Unbelievers indulge in tampering
with the calendar in order to make permissible that
which God forbade, and to forbid that which God has
made permissible. With God the months are twelve in
number. Four of them are sacred, three of these are
successive and one occurs singly between the months
of Jumada and Sha`ban. Beware of the devil, 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 over your women, but they also have rights
over you. Remember that you have taken them as
your wives only under God'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. Treat your women well and be kind to
them, for they are your partners and committed
helpers. It is your right and they do not make
friends with anyone of whom you do not approve,
as well as never to be unchaste...
O People, listen to me in earnest, worship
God (The One Creator of the Universe), perform
your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the
month of Ramadan, and give your financial obligation
(zakah) of your wealth. 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 a 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 God
(The Creator) and you will answer for your deeds.
So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness
after I am gone.
O People, NO PROPHET OR MESSENGER 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 am leaving you with the Book of
God (the QUR'AN*) and my SUNNAH (the life style and
the behavioral mode of the Prophet), if you follow
them 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 God, that I have
conveyed your message to your people.
The Qur'an: Revealed to Prophet Muhammad during
the period from 610-632 AC. The first five verses
revealed are: (1) Read in the name of your Lord,
Who created. (2) Created man out of a clot that
clings (in the womb). (3) Read and your Lord is
the Most Bountiful. (4) Who taught by the pen.
(5) Taught man that which he knew not.
Saya mencoba untuk fokus kepada Wikifikasi, netralisasi sudut pandang penulisan artikel dan peningkatan kualitas artikel hingga memenuhi standar ensiklopedik.
Beberapa artikel yang telah saya sunting untuk wikifikasi dandalam pantauan saya:
Yang di atas termasuk dalam prioritas saya dalam rangka ProyekWiki:Islam, dan melihat masih banyak artikel bertopik Islam yang bias dan kurang ensiklopedik.
