and repeatedly they violated the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah, attacked smallbands of peaceful Muslims and ultimately revoked it in writing. As Head ofthe State of Madinah, the Prophet had no choice, but to attack Makkah.With 10,000 soldiers, he marched to Makkah in 630 CE. Please note that inthat blessed era, every able-bodied Muslim man and woman used to serveas a soldier in the defense of the Islamic State. There was no standing armyas such. The Makkans were taken aback! The city was captured withoutany bloodshed. The exalted Prophet rode on his camel through the gate ofthe city while his opponents trembled in fear. Instead of showing royalpride, he was very humble and kept his head bowed in humility. Then heimmediately declared amnesty for all, "This day there is no blame on you.All of you are completely free." Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned inamazement! Almost instantly, all of Makkah embraced Islam.Among those Makkans, there were people who had driven Muhammad (S)and his family and companions out of their homes. There were those whohad looted their property and killed many Muslims. They had severelypersecuted the Prophet and Muslim men and women. They had tried theirutmost to destroy Islam and Muslims. Yet the merciful Prophet tells them,"This day there is no blame on you." All of human history will fail to citeone example of clemency like this.MISSION ACCOMPLISHED:In a few days, the Muslims led by Muhammad (S), returned to Madinah. Theunexpected Battle of Hunayn on the way back has been mentioned earlier.However, in the following few months most of the tribes, clans, and peoplein the Arabian Peninsula had embraced Islam. Since "No Compulsion inReligion" is the Law, most of the Jews, Christians and some Idolaters stuckto their old ways. The State of Madinah became a peaceful pluralisticsociety with a beautiful example of unity in diversity. A young beautifulwoman laden in jewelry could travel anywhere in the State and she had nofear but the fear of Allah. The Lord's Kingdom had been established onearth for the first time ever.<strong>THE</strong> FAREWELL CHAPTER ADDRESS 08 (<strong>THE</strong> LAST SERMON)In the year 632 CE (tenth year of Hijrah), the exalted Prophet came back toMakkah for the Final Pilgrimage. People had kept joinining the NobleCaravan on its way to Makkah and there was a congregation of 140,000people whom the Prophet (S) addressed from a mountaintop:"O mankind! I believe we will not meet in this Congregation again.Remember, your blood (life), your property and your honor is sacred untoeach other. Very soon you will have to explain your actions before Allah.72
O People! Your Sustainer Lord is One and your ancestry is common. Noblack is superior to a white, and no white is superior to a black, and noArab is better than a non-Arab and no non-Arab is better than an Arab.Honor is the birthright of every human being. The only criterion ofsuperiority amongst you is nothing but good conduct.Treat those under your care equitably. Be kind to your servants. Feed themwhat you eat and clothe them as you clothe.This day, the ways of the Jahiliyyah (the Age of Ignorance) are trampledunder my feet. All bloodshed of the Jahiliyyah is declared null and void.This day, I revoke all previous warfare, contention, bloodshed, and chainrevenge. I am the first one to forgive the murder committed against myfamily, that of Rabee'ah bin Harith.All usury (interest on money) of Jahiliyyah is null and void from this dayon. First of all, I revoke the interest owed to my family on behalf of myuncle Abbas bin Muttalib.O Men! Be fearful of Allah in all matters concerning women. They haverights upon you as you have rights upon them. Treat them well and be kindto them. Remember, they are your companions, colleagues, and partners inlife.Just as you honor this month, this day and this place, likewise your bloodand property is inviolable unto one another. All believers are brothers andsisters unto another. Nothing from a believer is permissible unto anotherunless it is given with cheerful consent.Remember that everyone is a shepherd. You will be questioned aboutthose under your care. If a non-Muslim were wronged in our State, I wouldpersonally plead on his or her behalf. Avoid extremes in religion. Peace, OMankind! Peace.O People! I am leaving behind one thing among you. If you hold it fast, youwill never go astray. What is that thing? - The Book of Allah.Even if an Ethiopian slave is chosen among you as Ameer (Ruler) and hetakes you along the Book of Allah, obey him and follow him. Serve yourSustainer Lord by serving His creation and you will enter Paradise.O People! Sincerity in action, working for the betterment of fellow humans,and unity among the Ummah are three things that keep the heartsrefreshed and clean.73
