Abstract
In the 11th year after the migration, during the month of Safar in 632 AH, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) suffered from a headache and fever that became severe along time. During this illness that was ended up on his death, he gave short advises to his followers. He expressed himself before people during his illness that he (the servant of Allah (SWT)) was permitted to choose either Allah (SWT) or the existing world, and he had chosen his Allah (SWT). He afterwards asked them that if anyone among them had any kind of right over him (Muhammad (PBUH)), he/she should have come and asked him regarding his/her right. He strictly advised to grant the rights of others and returned back the debts, and he further explained the importance of these matters in detail. Moreover, he prohibited converting graves into temples, and declared it an immense evil action. The last will of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was for his aunt Hadrat Safiya (may Allah be pleased with her) and his dearest daughter, Hadrat Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) to keep performing good deeds. Lastly, he forced the Muslim Ummah to strictly follow the acts that can lead them towards a successful life here and hereafter. He advised to kindly and sincerely treat family members, neighbors and all those who have rights over them and to fulfilling the responsibilities that come upon for them. He encouraged treating guests kindly. The aim of this draft is to highlight and analyze the significant points of the last sermons of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) passed on deathbed.
