Dawah: The Mission of Muslim Ummah
human life shall be regarded as having saved all
mankind.
Likewise, Muslims need to be reminded that
for a Muslimto kill a fellow Muslim is an act that
would lead him to Hell. As the Quran (4:93) says:
If anyone kills a believer deliberately, his reward
shall be eternal Hell. God will condemn him
and reject him, and prepare for him a terrible
punishment.
The Prophet’s Last Will
Today, there is an urgent need to remind all
Muslims throughout the world of a warning by
the Prophet that he issued on the occasion of
the Hajjatul Wida (‘The Farewell Pilgrimage’). In
the words of a narrative recorded in the Sahih al-
Bukhari:
Abdullah ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet
delivered a sermon before people on the day of
sacrifice. The Prophet asked, “o people, what day
is this?” They replied, “A sacred day.” Then he said,
“What city is this?” They replied, “A sacred city.”
