The Prophet’s Last Sermon (Khutbah al-Hajjat al-Wida) was to instil in his Companions the spirit to undertake planning for dawah work. Human beings need guidance to make their lives successful in this world and the Hereafter. Therefore, God sent prophets and messengers to guide people on the path of spirituality and wisdom. The Prophet’s Last Sermon marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new one; The culture of fighting and bloodshed, prevalent in the tribal age, was to be wholly abandoned. Now, a new era was to begin in which believers were to strive to impart the message of God to people. During his final Hajj, the Prophet, while addressing his Companions, said: “O People! All those who are listening to me should pass on my words to those who are not present. No prophet or messenger will come after me, and no new faith (nation) will be born after you.” (Musnad al-Bazzar, Hadith No. 6135) Therefore, those who return from the performance of Hajj must be imbued with the spirit to act on this prophetic advice and should henceforth make it their goal to devote their lives to God’s cause so that they can fulfil the prophetic mission of having the word of God reach every home on the planet.
