The Charter for Humanity: The Last Message of the Last Messenger SallAllahu alayhi wa sallam

This booklet presents a carefully compiled and annotated version of the Farewell Sermon of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Khuṭbat Ḥajjat al-Wadāʿ).

While reports in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, and the Sīrah of Ibn Hishām confirm that the sermon was extensive and wide-ranging in content, its full scope cannot be recovered from the commonly quoted excerpts alone.

This edition brings together a broader collection of authenticated statements attributed to the Prophet ﷺ during his Ḥajj sermons, drawn from sources including works of ḥadīth, sīrah, history, biography, tafsīr, and classical literature. It offers what may be the most comprehensive and carefully reconstructed presentation of the Farewell Sermon available today.

Accompanied by detailed commentary, this work invites readers to engage deeply with the Prophet’s ﷺ final public message—a timeless charter for humanity, offering the moral clarity and compassion our world needs now more than ever.

The booklet also includes reflective comparisons with major post-Islamic Western declarations of human rights, including the Magna Carta (England, 1215), the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (France, 1789), the U.S. Bill of Rights (1791), and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (U.N., 1948).
