What is the Farewell Sermon of the Prophet ﷺ?
The Prophet's ﷺ Farewell Sermon at ʿArafah is the testament of Islam to the world. Ibn Kathīr's <em>Sīrah</em> gathers the narrations into a single coherent address — the equality of humankind under taqwā, the sanctity of life and property, the obligations left behind.

The single cited passage draws on the Farewell Pilgrimage for its counsel concerning women, which al-Ghazali notes is well known and was narrated by Muslim. On this point the tradition records the Prophet's ﷺ charge to treat women well and to be mindful of one's duties toward them. The page offers only this one fragment, so it captures just one strand of the sermon's teaching; the full address — with its themes of human equality under God-consciousness and the sanctity of life and property — is best heard in the complete book in the library.
