A-Introductory

Introduction- Praise to Allah

PART-A

All praise be to Allah, in whose deference do we pay homage and from Whom we ask help and forgiveness. It is to Him that we turn and ask for refuge from our carnal mischief and wrong doings.

Whomever Allah guides can never turn astray and one who is mislead by Him can never be solicited or guided And I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him, in either image or symbols. And I Muhammad am His Bondsman and His Messenger.

Ye People_huminity

 A. Ye people: Listen to my words carefully and mark them, for who knows after this year we may never meet at this place again.

 B.

Ye People of God: I don’t know whether another year will be vouchsafed to me after this year to find myself amongst you.

 C.

Ye People: Observe silence, you might not be able to see me next year.

Cont…

Ye People: Behold! I want to explain with elaboration everything, as perhaps after this year I might not be able to meet you ever.

People: Learn every aspect pertaining to the rite of Hajj from me, for I may not be vouchsafed another pilgrimage.

 F.

May Allah nurture him with His Blessing, who listened to what I said, and disseminated it to others, as at times one who listens may not be wise, and the one to whom it is disseminated may be wiser.

B- equality

Equality-First Message

 Observe! Every one is equal.

Equality

All practices of the days of ignorance like blood (revenges) illegally possessed property ignorance (familial and inheritable pride) lie quashed under my heels till the Day of Judgment and other signs of days of

Qasas and Diyat as Right

Nasai ’

Thus this is how they temper with Allah’s proclaimed Halal months and turn them into Haram and violate the sacred months

Halal and Haram by Allah

b)  Now the time has completed its cycle and has come a square round from the day the universe started from its creation.

To Allah there are twelve months, four are sacred and inviolable, three of which follow consecutively:     (Zil Qad, Zil Hajj and Muharram)) and one occurs singularly and separately (i.e. Rajab) which is also known as Shahr Mazr; and which occurs between Jamadiul Sani and Shaban.
