This lecture reflects on the crucial lessons embedded in the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjatul Wada') of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Delivered in his final months, these parting sermons highlight core Islamic duties, economic integrity, and the sacred rights of fellow human beings.
Key Lessons
Establishing Deen: Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam emphasized maintaining the five daily Salah (in congregation for men), fasting in Ramadan, paying Zakat, and following authentic guidance from scholars and leaders.Sanctity of a Muslim: The life, wealth, and honor of every Muslim are declared sacred, comparable to the sanctity of the day of Nahr, the month of Dhul Hijjah, and the sacred land of Makkah. Slandering, backbiting, or degrading others violates this sanctity.Rights of Women: Husbands are commanded to treat their wives with kindness, honor, and fairness, fulfilling the divine intercession established in the Quran.Absolute Prohibition of Riba: All forms of interest, including hidden or renamed financial arrangements with guaranteed returns on capital, are strictly forbidden.The True Bankrupt Person (Muflis): A person who arrives on the Day of Judgment with vast voluntary worship but has infringed upon the rights of others will have their good deeds distributed to victims, eventually carrying others' sins into Jahannam.

0:17 Alhamdulillah. 0:20 Alhamdulillah wa kafaa. 0:21 Wa as-salatu wa as-salamu ala ibadihi allatheena astafa. 0:26 Amma ba'du fa'udhu billahi min ash-shaytaanin rajim. 0:30 Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. 0:35 Al-Hajj ash-shurum ma'lumat. 0:38 Faman farada fihinna al-Hajj. 0:41 Fala rafasa wala fusuqa. 0:43 Wala jidala fil-Hajj. 0:45 Qala al-Nabiyyu sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 0:49 Al-Hajjul Mabroor. 0:50 Laysa lahu jaza'un illa al-Jannah. 0:53 Awa kama qala al-Nabiyyu sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 0:59 Most respected ulama-i kiram, brothers and elders. 1:05 The hujjah jallatallah's fazal have completed their hajj. 1:09 So it might sound a bit strange that we're talking about hajj now after the hajj is over. 1:14 But nevertheless, the lessons of Hajj are for all times. 1:18 And in the short time that we have, inshaAllah, we will discuss some of the lessons of Hajj. 1:24 And those particular lessons, some of those lessons, which Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam left the ummah with in the khutbaat and the various sermons that were delivered during the days of Hajj. 1:41 So these khutbahs, generally the one khutbah is very well known. 1:46 That khutbah which was delivered at Arafat. 1:50 But there were many many khutbahs and many sermons that Rasulullah ﷺ delivered during those days of Hajj. 1:56 In Mina, in Arafat, etc. 2:00 And he left the ummah with great and deep lessons. 2:05 The context should be borne in mind. 2:10 That this was the Hajjatul Wada. 2:12 It was the farewell pilgrimage. 2:15 And Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam had already given the signs very almost clearly that his time in dunya now is very limited and he will be moving on to meet Allah Ta'ala. 2:29 And therefore this is now the parting advice being given to the Ummah. 2:34 It was barely 2:36 Two and a half months later that Rasulullah s.a.w. 2:39 left this dunya. 2:43 After having returned back to Madinah Munawwarah after Hajj. 2:47 So it was a very very momentous occasion. 2:52 The time was very limited. 2:54 This gathering was never to be seen again in this manner where Rasulullah s.a.w. 2:59 is going to be addressing this more than hundred thousand sahaba. 3:05 So only the most important things there was time to highlight. 3:11 There wasn't time to go into every detail. 3:15 So this is the context in which these lessons are to be understood. 3:19 That these were the great highlights that were being emphasized upon. 3:25 That in this time that is available, this little confined time. 3:30 And in front of this gathering of Sahaba, Rasulullah s.a.w. 3:33 is leaving the Ummah with these advices. 3:36 Among those advices, on one occasion, among the khutbaat that were delivered, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam addressed the sahaba, and he said to them, This is basically the fundamentals of deen, that your five salah, make sure that that five times salah is performed properly, regularly. 4:05 And throughout the Quran Sharif, the command is Iqamat-e-Salah. 4:08 Establishing Salah. 4:09 Not mere performance. 4:10 Establishing Salah is five times a day. 4:13 Not four times. 4:14 Establishing Salah requires that males should perform that Salah with Jama'ah in the Masjid unless there is a valid shari' reason for not being able to attend the Salah with Jama'ah. 4:25 And Iqamat-e-Salah, establishing Salah requires that that Salah be performed with all its etiquette in the proper manner with khushu and khudu etc. 4:34 The whole subject on its own. 4:36 And then fulfilling all the other fundamentals of deen. 4:39 Fasting in the month of Ramadan. 4:41 And paying zakat if it's due. 4:43 And then Nabi Salah also says with that. 4:45 Wa ati'u za amrikum. 4:47 That those who have authority over you. 4:50 And those who are your leaders. 4:51 Follow them. 4:52 This refers to the leaders. 4:55 In terms of a. 4:56 Those who are the true leaders. 4:58 In terms of a political situation. 5:00 Who are proper shari' leaders. 5:02 But. 5:03 Together with that. 5:04 Those who are your true leaders in deen. 5:06 There is a certain obedience that is required for a person to be correctly guided. 5:13 So this foundation of it Rasulullah s.a.w. 5:16 himself laid. 5:18 So nevertheless this was one lesson that was delivered which highlights the importance of the fundamentals of deen and the pillars of Islam. 5:27 So this is something that there should never be any compromise on. 5:31 Nevertheless going on 5:34 If we look into the khutbaat of the Hajjatul Wada, there were these fundamentals of deen, the ibadat that was also emphasized, that was also highlighted. 5:44 But a great part of the khutbaat that were delivered on Hajjatul Wada dealt with hukukul ibad. 5:55 The rights of the servants of Allah Ta'ala. 5:58 The rights of Allah Ta'ala were highlighted as well. 6:00 But a very big portion of it dealt with the rights of the people. 6:06 Among the many khutbaat on one occasion Nabi Salah said these kind of details as well to keep in mind that we are talking about a very confined time. 6:15 Very limited time. 6:16 To give these messages to the ummah. 6:19 And it was just this occasion. 6:22 These few days that we are there together. 6:25 Among those khutbaat Nabi Salah is giving these kind of details. 6:29 Al-Ariyat Mu'addaat. 6:31 Remember if something you have borrowed something you must return it to the person you have borrowed it from. 6:37 Don't take it for granted that well I borrowed somebody's item and well we'll see. 6:41 Now that kind of detail again bearing in mind this confined time. 6:46 Limited time. 6:48 To give a lot of things that can be given in this limited time. 6:52 So only the most important things are going to be highlighted. 6:54 This is being highlighted. 6:56 Al-Ariyat Mu'addaat. 6:58 Al-Dainu Maqdiyun. 7:00 If you have taken a loan, make sure it's paid. 7:03 That that due date has come, whatever the arrangement is, then accordingly that loan is paid. 7:08 It's not well, we'll see. 7:09 Matalul ghaniyya dhulmun. 7:12 That a person has the means to pay that debt and he is still procrastinating, delaying, without any valid reason. 7:20 One is now, all the arrangements are in place, something just happened beyond his control. 7:24 So well, if it's beyond his control, then he is entitled to be given some respite. 7:30 But now without any valid reason he is procrastinating delaying. 7:34 Matalul ghani dhulmun. 7:36 Nabi Islams says this is dhulm. 7:37 This is oppression. 7:40 These kind of details also were highlighted. 7:42 And then in one of the khutbaat Nabi Islams asked the sahaba. 7:45 He asked them a question. 7:47 Ayyu yawmin hadha. 7:49 What day is this? 7:50 It was a very sacred day. 7:52 And then together with that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam asked. 7:54 So they replied. 7:55 Yawmun Haram. 7:56 It's a sacred day. 7:57 It was Yawmun Nahar. 7:59 The 10th of Dhul Hijjah. 8:00 The day of Eid. 8:03 Then he said. 8:05 What month is this? 8:07 So they were. 8:09 In one riwayat it is stated that they were surprised. 8:11 Or they were wondering perhaps there is going to be some other name. 8:14 That Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is going to give to it. 8:15 But they said. 8:16 Shahrun Haram. 8:18 It's a sacred month also with Dhul Hijjah. 8:21 Among the very great months. 8:24 And then Ayubaladin Hada. 8:25 Which place is this? 8:28 The place was very sacred also. 8:30 Baladun Haram. 8:32 And V.S. 8:33 having asked these questions is bringing forth a very very deep point. 8:39 Bringing to the minds the sanctity of these three things combined. 8:44 The sanctity of the day in that sacred month and then in the sacred place 8:52 For example, it is the day of Jumu'ah. 8:57 And now it's after Maghrib. 8:59 So Jumu'ah has commenced. 9:01 And it's coinciding with the 27th of Ramadan. 9:05 So now 27th of Ramadan already. 9:08 MashaAllah. 9:09 And now this is the day of Jumu'ah as well. 9:11 And then a person is in front of the Multazam. 9:14 Can we imagine a person now on the day of Jumu'ah, that too 27th of Ramadan, and right in front of the Kaaba Sharif, in front of the Multazam, he's going to commit any haram there, he's going to cause any mischief there, he's going to do something. 9:26 It's beyond imagination. 9:28 The person who was steeped in sin elsewhere also, he'll come here and this time and this place, it's impossible. 9:34 Not here and now. 9:36 Why? 9:36 Because this is sanctity upon sanctity combined. 9:40 Now that is the kind of example Rasulullah s.a.w. 9:43 is giving. 9:44 That look this is a very sacred day. 9:46 Sacred month. 9:47 Sacred place. 9:48 And every person now understands all these three things combined. 9:51 Then Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam having brought this to the heart and mind of every person present. 9:56 And threw them to the whole ummah. 9:59 That. 9:59 Inna dima'akum wa amwalakum wa a'aradakum. 10:03 Alaykum haramun. 10:04 Ka hurmati yawmikum hadha. 10:07 Fi shahrikum hadha. 10:09 Fi baladikum hadha. 10:10 That now that you've understood that this is a very very sacred combination. 10:14 So now listen very carefully. 10:16 That every innat dima'akum. 10:18 Your lives. 10:18 Meaning each person's life. 10:21 And each person's wealth and property. 10:23 And each person's honour and dignity. 10:26 Alaykum haramun. 10:27 Is sacred upon every other person. 10:30 Each person's life, wealth and honour and dignity. 10:34 Is sacred upon every other person. 10:37 How sacred? 10:38 Like the sanctity of this day, in this month, in this place. 10:44 Like a person won't be in a haram and standing in Arafat for example or Muzdalifah and it's a Mubarak time and so on. 10:54 And now he'll be standing there and watching some haram. 10:56 Nauzubillah. 10:58 It's beyond imagination. 10:59 Somebody might have been steeped in these kind of things too. 11:02 He's not going to go do it there. 11:04 This is the limit. 11:05 You can't think of anything like this. 11:08 That is the kind of sanctity Nabi is describing of the life, the wealth and the honour of every Muslim. 11:16 Don't ever violate this. 11:18 Violate somebody's life, Alhamdulillah we generally understand that. 11:23 Violate somebody's wealth, take it wrongfully etc. 11:26 Many MashaAllah understand it. 11:28 Unfortunately some don't realize it. 11:30 When it comes to for example inheritance, then it's taken for granted. 11:35 Whoever has it will take it. 11:36 Or there are certain other occasions somebody is entrusted to something who has it in his control. 11:41 It just becomes some personal property. 11:44 So that too unfortunately is a problem. 11:46 But when it comes to the honor of somebody and this is how sacred it is. 11:51 And Nabi Salah is saying look the honor of every person is as sacred as the sanctity of this day in this month in this place. 11:59 So now to backbite about a Muslim. 12:03 Is that not violating the sanctity? 12:06 To slander a Muslim. 12:08 Is that not violating the sanctity? 12:10 To humiliate and degrade a Muslim. 12:14 To look down upon a Muslim. 12:16 He might be any person. 12:17 But he is a Muslim. 12:18 He is a Muslim brother. 12:20 He might be any nationality. 12:22 He might be speaking any language. 12:24 He might be any color. 12:25 He might be from any part of the world. 12:28 He might be having any social standing. 12:30 Or whether no social standing. 12:33 Regardless of all this. 12:34 But Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam says his honor is as sacred as these three sacred aspects combined. 12:44 This was the lesson that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam left the Ummah. 12:48 And this is an extremely important lesson. 12:51 Again time is very limited but just to move on. 12:53 We are just touching on some of the lessons that were delivered in these khutbahs. 12:57 Again on one of those occasions during the khutbah that Rasulullah s.a.w. 13:02 delivered, he said, وَاسْتَوْسُوا بِالنِّسَاءِ خَيْرًا Now there is this large and huge gathering of sahaba and again the most important things can be highlighted only. 13:14 There isn't time for everything. 13:16 There isn't time for too many details. 13:18 But among those details that were highlighted, Nabi s.a.w. 13:22 meant, this is one line that was quoted, but it goes into several lines. 13:28 Where Rasulullah s.a.w. 13:29 highlighted the rights of women. 13:32 The West can only talk about it and make noises. 13:35 But what they have done actually is they have taken away the dignity of women. 13:40 They have made them cheap apparel in the streets. 13:44 Islam has given that honor and dignity to women. 13:48 And Rasulullah s.a.w. 13:50 on this occasion of Hajjatul Wadah is saying, وَاسْتَوْسُوا بِالنِّسَاءِ خَيْرًا That take to heart my wasiyyat. 13:54 Take to heart my advice. 13:57 What advice? 13:58 That treat your wives kindly. 14:00 And then Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam goes in some details as well. 14:03 What are their rights upon you? 14:04 What are your rights upon them in any case? 14:07 But treat them kindly. 14:08 After all Allah Ta'ala has made sifarish for them in the Quran Sharif. 14:11 Allah Ta'ala interceded on their behalf. 14:15 وَآشِرُهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ That treat them kindly. 14:17 So this is Allah Ta'ala's intercession on behalf of his servants. 14:23 So Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is highlighting that same intercession in these words. 14:27 That was Tawsu bin Nisa'i Khairah. 14:28 My wasiyat also. 14:30 Wasiyat is parting advice. 14:31 Somebody remembers his father's wasiyat, mother's wasiyat, passed away long time ago, but they left some parting advice that he takes to heart. 14:40 Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam is saying, take this, my wasiyat. 14:42 Was Tawsu bin Nisa'i Khairah. 14:45 That treat your wives kindly. 14:47 Then another lesson and a very important lesson that Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa sallam taught, and he highlighted on this occasion of Hajjatul Wada'. 14:56 Was the prohibition of interest. 14:59 And he very clearly declared that all the interest of Jahiliyyah. 15:03 In the times of Jahiliyyah, people were taking and giving interest. 15:07 And many people had loaned monies. 15:10 And now the interest was still owed. 15:12 Prior to the prohibition of interest. 15:15 Nabi Islams said, look all that riba of Jahiliyyat also is all abolished and cancelled. 15:19 The first person whose riba that I am cancelling, whatever is owed to him in terms of riba, is totally cancelled, is the riba of my own uncle, Hadith Abbas. 15:29 Nothing of the riba will be paid. 15:31 The capital, that is fine, that will come back. 15:33 But not one iota of that interest will come back. 15:36 Because this is something extremely detested in the sight of Allah. 15:41 That in the Quran, Allah has declared war on the one who refuses to take his 15:49 And in the Hadith Sharif, Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has cursed all the parties associated with it. 15:54 La'anallahu aakil al-riba. 15:55 Wa mukilahu. 15:56 Wa shahiday. 15:57 Wa katibay. 15:57 Wa qalahum sawa. 15:59 Allah Ta'ala has la'anat and cursed upon the one who takes the interest. 16:03 The one who gives it. 16:05 The one who witnesses the transaction. 16:08 The one who records it. 16:09 Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says that curse is equally upon all. 16:13 What a severe thing. 16:14 Unfortunately, 16:16 One is while the one part of it may be blatant interest. 16:20 Many a person MashaAllah is conscious. 16:22 But there are so many forms of transactions that take place which is nothing but interest. 16:27 Every now and again somebody comes. 16:29 He is discussing something. 16:30 When there is a problem. 16:31 How was the deal structured? 16:32 Well the deal was that I invested 100,000 rands. 16:35 And then what? 16:36 Well I will get 10%. 16:38 10% of what? 16:39 10% of the capital. 16:40 10% profit of the capital. 16:43 Is that 10% profit or is it interest? 16:46 Profity is what has been generated out of that lawful business. 16:50 Now that might be out of that lawful business, whatever got generated, it might have been 1 million. 16:54 If it was 1 million, he'll get, if the arrangement was 10% of the profits he's going to share, he'll get 1 million, 10% of 1 billion. 17:01 And if he generated 10 rands, then he'll get 10% of 10 rands. 17:06 And if there was a loss, then he also suffers a loss. 17:09 So whatever that lawful business generated, that was the investment. 17:13 That investment might bring a ten times amount. 17:16 It might bring a fraction of it. 17:18 It might bring nothing. 17:20 But this is such a common practice and it is nothing but interest. 17:23 We can call it by any name. 17:26 We can call it by any name but that won't change the reality. 17:29 And this is among the things that Nabi s.a.w. 17:31 foretold. 17:31 That the time will come among the signs of Qiyamah that the names of things will be changed and Haram will be made Halal. 17:39 So interest will be called by another name. 17:40 And 10% on investment. 17:43 And that now will become fine. 17:45 But that won't change the reality. 17:46 So in any case, these are some of the lessons. 17:49 The time has already run out. 17:51 This is something that we need to take to heart. 17:53 These are the words of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam on the occasion of Hajjatul Wada. 17:56 The khutbaat that Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam delivered. 17:59 And these are lessons for the whole Ummatul Qiyamat. 18:02 May Allah Tabaaraka wa Ta'ala give us a tawfiq that we take. 18:10 So, we have a few more minutes. 18:12 InshaAllah we'll just continue with this. 18:14 So, these were among the lessons that Rasulullah ﷺ highlighted that these are the very important things. 18:21 These aspects affect every aspect of society. 18:24 And as mentioned earlier, that among the many things that were mentioned, the things that were highlighted more were the aspects of حقوق العباد. 18:34 The rights of these servants of Allah Ta'ala. 18:36 The rights of Allah Ta'ala we also highlighted. 18:38 Person can't be muttaqi and can't be close to Allah Ta'ala without fulfilling the rights of Allah Ta'ala. 18:43 But likewise shirking in the rights of these servants of Allah Ta'ala will rob a person, will take away all that what he's earning in terms of sawab and reward through his ibadah. 18:54 In the hadith sharif it is reported that Rasulullah last month asked the sahaba that do you know who's a bankrupt person? 19:01 Now nobody likes that word bankrupt. 19:02 It's a very very jarring word. 19:05 It hurts the heart immediately. 19:07 A person hears the word bankrupt. 19:08 Allah Ta'ala save us. 19:09 That thought goes through our minds. 19:11 Allah Ta'ala protect every person. 19:13 But the Sahaba also thought initially in that same line. 19:16 That a bankrupt person. 19:18 The person who has no possessions. 19:21 No wealth. 19:22 I'm not talking about that. 19:24 That bankrupt person yesterday is bankrupt person. 19:26 Tomorrow becomes a millionaire also. 19:28 Something just works out for him. 19:29 Overnight things turn. 19:31 That bankrupt person is not a major problem. 19:34 Allah Ta'ala save us from that. 19:36 But it's not such a disaster like the disaster that a person becomes bankrupt on the day of Qiyamah. 19:42 And this is what Rasulullah ﷺ then highlighted. 19:48 The bankrupt person of my Ummah who really is a bankrupt person. 19:51 He's the person who will come on the day of Qiyamah. 19:53 And how he will come? 19:55 With mountains of good deeds. 19:57 He had performed so many good deeds. 19:59 His nafil salah also. 20:00 Besides the farz obviously. 20:01 His nawafil and his umrah. 20:03 Nafil hajj and charity and so much. 20:06 But at the same time. 20:08 He had sworn at somebody. 20:12 He had slandered someone. 20:14 He had usurped somebody's wealth. 20:17 Didn't fulfill the rights of people. 20:19 Didn't pay the debts. 20:21 Didn't distribute the inheritance correctly. 20:24 And so many other monetary rights of people. 20:27 Wa akala maala hadha. 20:29 Wa safaka dama hadha. 20:31 And kill somebody wrongfully. 20:33 All these violations of the rights of people also he came along with. 20:38 Now what happens on the day of Qiyamah? 20:40 They will be paying back there on that day as well. 20:42 But there is no currency of rands and cents and pounds and dollars on that day. 20:46 The currency of the day of Qiyamah is deeds. 20:48 Aamal. 20:49 So now that he has to pay back, he'll pay back with his aamal. 20:52 One person will come and claim, I was sworn at. 20:55 This person used some flowery languages against me. 20:57 Okay, you take so much away. 20:59 This person, well he owed me some money. 21:01 For one dirham, the equivalent of one dirham, say approximately 500 accepted salah. 21:09 Now you take it away. 21:10 How many salah that we can claim that was done in a manner that will be, inshaAllah, we can have every hope that will be accepted. 21:16 Allah absolves us of the obligation that too will be His grace. 21:22 And now all the people who had claims will come and take away everything, all the rewards, and still the line is not finished. 21:28 So now, the people who are still claiming, okay, you take your sins and pass it on to Him. 21:34 And, fa yuqzafa finnaar. 21:35 Nabi Salah As-Sulam says, he will then go with the sins of others to Jahannam. 21:39 Allah Ta'ala protect us and save us. 21:40 This is the highlight that Nabi Islam gave in these khutbah. 21:43 The rights of people. 21:44 That together we're fulfilling the rights of Allah Ta'ala. 21:48 We also honor and fulfill the rights of people as well. 21:51 Allah Ta'ala give us the tawfiq.
Promptly discharge all financial obligations, loans, and inheritance distributions without procrastination.
Ensure all commercial investments comply with Shariah by avoiding guaranteed fixed returns on initial capital.
Guard the tongue against backbiting, slandering, and belittling any Muslim, regardless of their nationality or social status.
Treat spouses with respect, affection, and kindness within the household. 26 Rabi ul Awwal 1448

Hazrat Moulana Dawood Seedat Saheb
