The Farewell Sermon
In his only Hajj, before over 100,000 companions, he ﷺ declared the sanctity of life, wealth and honour, ended the practices of ignorance, and commanded holding fast to the Quran and his Sunnah.
The religion completed
At Arafah the verse came down: "This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favour upon you" (5:3). Shortly after returning to Madinah, he ﷺ passed away.
A legacy for every age
He left no gold — he left the Quran, the Sunnah, and a generation that carried light to the world. Sending salawat upon him is the sign of loving him: Allahumma salli ala Muhammad.
