The work of invitation and preaching has been completed. A new society has been formed on the basis of the Prophethood of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) by abolishing the Lordship of Allaah and all other ideologies. Then the invisible announcer seemed to have ingrained in the thoughts and consciousness of the Prophet (peace be upon him) the idea that his position in the world had expired.
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent Hazrat Maya (ra) as the governor of Yemen, he said after other necessary words, “O Maya, you will probably not meet me again after this year. Maybe then you will pass by my mosque and grave. Upon hearing this, Hazrat Maya (ra) began to weep, thinking of the Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) farewell.
In fact, Allah Ta'ala wanted His Messenger to witness the benefits of twenty long years of suffering and persecution. During the Hajj, people and delegations from different parts of Makkah will gather in Makkah to learn about the rules and regulations of the Shari'ah from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) will take testimony from them to the effect that I have fulfilled my trust, conveyed the message of Allaah to the people and fulfilled the rights of the Ummah.
In accordance with this will of Allah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) announced the date of the historic Hajj, then the Muslims started arriving in Makkah in groups on the appointed day. All of them wanted to follow the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and obey him. [1]
Then on Saturday the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prepared to leave for Mecca. There were still four days left in the month of Zilkad. [2]
He put oil on his head and combed his hair. He put on his cloak, wrapped himself in a sheet, decorated the sacrificial animal, and left after noon. Before Asr, he reached a place called Jal Hulaifa. There he prayed two rak'ats of Asr. He pitched a tent for the night. Spent the night there. In the morning he said to the Companions, "A stranger came to me from my Lord at night and said, 'O Prophet, pray in this holy desert and say that there is Umrah in Hajj.' [3]
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) took a bath for Ihram before the Zuhr prayer. Hazrat Ayesha (RA) applied Jarira and Meshak perfume on the holy body of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with her own hands. The fragrance of the perfume was seen on the sithi and holy beard of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not wash away this fragrance. He left it as it was.
He then put on the tahaband chadar. He performed two rak'ats of Zuhr prayer. Later, while sitting in the mosque, he tied the ihram of Hajj and Umrah together and came out with a loud voice. Later he climbed on the camel and said twice. He rode a camel to the open field and gave a labyrinthine sound there as well.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) then continued his journey. A week later, he reached Makkah one afternoon and stayed at a place called Ji-Tuba and took a bath after performing the Fajr prayer. Then he entered Makkah. That day was Sunday, the fourth day of the month of Jilhaj in the tenth Hijri. After leaving Madinah, eight nights were spent on the way.
This is the time required to walk at normal speed. Arriving at the Sacred Mosque, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) first circumambulated the Kaaba. Safa then marched in the middle of Marwar. But Ehram did not open. Because he tied the Ihram of Hajj and Umrah together.
He also brought the sacrificial animal with him. At the end of Tawaf and Sai, he stayed at a place called Hajj in Makkah. But he did not perform any Tawaf except the Tawaf of the second Hajj.
On the eighth day of the month of Zilhaj, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went to Mina. He stayed there till the 9th of Jilhaj. He performed the five daily prayers of Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Esha and Fajr and waited there till sunrise. He then left for Arafat's Maidan. Upon reaching there, tents are ready in the Nemrah desert. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sat there. When the sun set, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ordered the camel to be seated on its back.
He went to the middle of the desert. At that time the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was surrounded by a sea of one hundred and forty-four thousand people in one hundred and twenty-four thousand sects. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave a historic speech to the masses.
He said, ‘Hey guys, listen to me, listen to me, I don’t know if I can meet you in this place again after this time.’ [4]
Your blood and wealth are forbidden to each other like today, the present month and the present city. Listen, everything in the time of ignorance has been trampled under my feet. Ignorance has been killed and exterminated. The first blood between us that I am finishing is the blood of the son of Rabi 'ibn Harith.
The baby was drinking milk from the Bani Sa'd tribe when he was killed by the Hawail tribesmen. The interest of the age of ignorance has been abolished. The first interest we are eliminating is the interest of Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib. From now on all types of interest have been eliminated.
Fear Allah with regard to girls, for you have accepted them with the trust of Allah and made them lawful by the word of Allah. You have a right over them that they will not let anyone come to your bed whom you do not like. If they do, you can beat them. But don't beat too hard. Their right over you is to feed and clothe them.
I leave to you such things that if you hold fast to them, you will never go astray. That thing is the Book of God. [5]
O people, remember that there is no prophet after me. There is no nation after you. So worship your Lord. Pray five times. Will fast in the month of Ramadan. He will gladly pay zakat on his wealth. He will perform Hajj in the house of his Lord. Will obey his own vegetables. If you do, you will enter the Paradise of your Lord. [6]
You will be asked about my relationship with you. What will you say? The companions said, "We bear witness that you have preached and delivered the message." He has performed his duty of welfare.
Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) raised his index finger towards the sky and then leaned towards the people and said three times, 'O Lord of the Worlds, bear witness.' [7]
The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) were being delivered to the people by Rabia ibn Umayyah ibn Khalaf. [8]
After the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) finished his speech, Allaah revealed this verse from the Holy Qur'aan.
‘Today I have perfected your religion for you, and completed My favor upon you, and have made Islam your religion.’ (Surat al-Ma'ida, verse 3)
Hazrat Omar (RA) heard this verse and started crying. He was asked, why are you crying? "I am crying because after imperfection, only imperfection remains," he said. [9]
Hazrat Belal (RA) gave the Azan and Iqamat of the speech of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) offered the Zuhr prayer. Then Hazrat Belal offered Iqamat and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) offered the Asr prayer. There he waited on the camel's back, and after a while the sun set.
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) put Usaamah behind him and left for Muzdalifah. There he performed Maghrib and Isha prayers in two Iqamahs of one Azan. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went to bed.
He lay down till the time of Fajr prayer. After the time of Fajr, he performed the Fajr prayer with Azan and Iqamat. Then he rode on a camel, went to ‘Mashaare Haram’ and returned to Kabbalah and prayed to Allah. He uttered takbeer in the name of Allah and recited the word of Tawheed. There he waited until the morning was well lit. Then he left for Minar before sunrise. This time he placed Hazrat Fazl Ibn Abbas behind him.
Reaching ‘Batne Mohchhar’ (the place where wrath comes on Abrahah’s soldiers) he forced the rider. Jamraye left for Cobra and reached there. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) threw seven stones there. He was chanting takbeer every time he threw a stone. They were small pieces of stone. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood at the foot of the mountain and threw these stones.
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) went to the slaughterhouse and slaughtered 73 camels with his holy hand. Then the remaining 36 camels were allowed to be slaughtered by Hazrat Ali (ra). Thus one hundred camels were sacrificed. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) included Hazrat Ali in his sacrifice.
At his command, a piece of meat from each camel was taken and cooked in a pot. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and Hazrat Ali ate some of that meat. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also drank some surua.
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) rode to Makkah. Baitullah Sharif performed Tawaf. This tawaf is called tawaf efaza. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) performed the Zuhr prayer in Makkah. Yamayak went to Banu Abdul Muttalib near the well. They were making the pilgrims drink Zamzam water.
The Prophet (S) said, "O Banu Abdul Muttalib, draw water." If I did not fear that other people would defeat you in the work of drawing water, I would also draw water with you. That is, when the Companions saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) fetching water, they would all try to fetch water.
As a result, Banu Abdul Muttalib alone will no longer have the glory of giving water to the pilgrims. Then the people of Abdul Muttalib gave a bucket of water to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the Prophet (peace be upon him) drank that water as needed. [10]
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stayed in Mina on the 11th, 12th and 13th of Jilhaj. At this time he was also performing the rituals of Hajj. At the same time, he was teaching the people the rules and regulations of the Shariah. God was doing whatever. Millate was also establishing the circumcisions of Ibrahim. Was destroying the patterns of Sherek.

The ruling class of the vast Roman Empire was not ready to accept Islam and the right to life of those who embraced Islam. For this reason, it was dangerous for anyone in the Roman Empire to convert to Islam. In view of the arrogance and arrogant behavior of the rulers of the Roman Empire, the Prophet (peace be upon him) started building a large army in the month of Safar of the Eleventh Hijri.
Appointing Usama bin Zayd as the sepoy of that force, he ordered that the Balkah area and the Palestinian territory of Dar es Salaam be razed by cavalry. The move was intended to intimidate the Romans and inspire the Arab tribes living in their area of control. As a result, no one would think that there is no one to speak against the excesses and arbitrariness of the church. Moreover, no one can think that accepting Islam means inviting one's own death.
Some criticized the appointment of Hazrat Usama (ra) as a general and hesitated to participate in the preparations for the campaign. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If you are critical of Usama's leadership, then you have been criticized for appointing his father as commander-in-chief."
But by God, Zayd was qualified to be a commander. Besides, he was one of my favorite bhajans. Osama is one of my favorite bhajans after Zayed. [11]
Then the Companions gathered around Hazrat Usama (ra) and joined his army. The army set out and landed at Makkah, three miles from Medina. They did not move forward as they continued to receive disturbing news about the illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). They waited there for God's judgment. Allah's decision was that it would be called the first military campaign of the Caliphate of Hazrat Abu Barak Siddiq (RA). [12]
