my religion: "The Opening....."

Farewell address of the prophet(sal)

"O people,listen to my words carefully,for I know not whether I would meet you again on such an occasion.
O people,just as you regard this month,this day,this city as sacred,so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust .Remember that you will indeed appear before Allah and answer for your actions.
Return the things kept with you as a trust(amanah) to thier rightful owners.All dues of interest shall stand cancelled and you will have your capital back.Allah has forbidden interest,and I cancel the dues of interest payable to my uncle al-Abbas bin'Abdul Muttalib.
O people,your wives have certain rights over you,you have certain rights over them.Treat them well and be kind to them,for they are your partners and commited helpers.
Beware of Satan,he is desperate to divert you from the worship of Allah so beware of him in matters of your religion.
O people,listen carefully!All believers are brothers.You are not allowed to take things belonging to another Muslim unless he gives it to you willingly.
O people,none is higher than the other unless he is higher in obedience to Allah.No Arab is any superior to non_Arab except in piety.
O people, reflect on my words.I leave behind me two things,the Qur'an and my example(sunnah), and if you follow these,you will not fail.
Listen to me carefully!worship Allah and offer Salah,observe Sawm in the month of Ramadan and pay Zakah.
O people,no prophet or messenger will come after me,and no new faith will emerge.All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again."
