The last Hajj performed by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), famously known as Hajjat-ul-Wida or “The Farewell Pilgrimage,” took place in 10 Hijri. This pilgrimage holds profound significance in Islamic history because it was the only Hajj the Prophet (PBUH) performed after the migration to Madinah. It also served as a final comprehensive guidance for the Muslim Ummah, delivered through his famous Farewell Sermon (Khutbah Hajjat-ul-Wida).
During 10 Hijri, Islam had spread across the Arabian Peninsula, and thousands of companions gathered to accompany the Prophet (PBUH) on this sacred journey. The pilgrimage symbolized the completion of the Prophet's mission, as the Qur’anic verse “This day I have perfected your religion for you…” was revealed during this event, marking a monumental moment in Islamic history.
The Farewell Hajj also established the proper method of performing the pilgrimage, clarifying rituals that Muslims follow to this day. In his sermon, the Prophet (PBUH) emphasized the sanctity of life, equality of all humans, rights of women, justice, and the importance of holding firmly to the Qur’an and Sunnah. His words became a timeless charter of human dignity and moral conduct.
