Episode Title: The Farewell Hajj – Part 2
In the 10th year of the Hijra on the 9th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day of ‘Arafāt the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) performed his first and only Hajj.
On this blessed day, in the blessed land of ‘Arafāt the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) gave his famous final sermon where among other things he abolished usury/interest, reminded the people to fear Allah with regards to the responsibilities towards their women, and annihilated racism and bigotry.
In a time when wealth was circulated only amongst the rich through usury and interest, where women were treated worst than animals, and where the colour of your skin & tribal lineage defined your status in society. The Prophet (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said those beautiful words in his final sermon…
“There is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab, nor of a non-Arab over an Arab, nor of a white over a black, nor a black over a white, except by taqwa (piety & God conciseness).”
