The Last Sermon of the Holy Prophet
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) delivered his last sermon (khutbah) on Friday, Nine of Dhul-Hijrah at the place of Arfa. It was the time of migration from Makkah to Madina. He was addressing humanity and his words were quite clear and concise. It was considered the universal declaration of Human Rights.
Prophet Muhammad starts his sermon by saying,
"0 people, maybe it's my last appearance in front of you whatever I m saying you have to convey that message to others".
Following are some significant articles from the Last Sermon.
1. Equality of Human
All humans are equal there is no difference between black and white people, Rich and poor, you all are equal Allah created you from one male and one female and divide you into different classes and nations. No Arab is superior to one who is non-Arab. The thing which separates you from the entire creature is your humanity. Being a human you have to spears humanity and create equality.2. Observance of Right
The Holy Prophet was clear at the very first that whatever you do in your life the good and bad deeds you have to pay for it in
front of Allah on the day of judgment. I m not give you any support if you do the wrong deeds you are not supposed to come in my Ummah.
3. Rights to life
Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) said whatever we, humans, make for ourselves in this world property, honor, respect, and so on is only with us in this world after death your deeds will help you. No one takes all these things with them. He (PBUH) added that all this would not matter when we return to Allah.
4. Right of Protection of Property
