First Sermon of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

First Sermon of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

The following is the first Sermon of the Prophet given in Makkah when he called his people to Islam. The Prophet started the speech by praising Allah and thanking Him and then said:

“Verily, Ar-Raid (one whom his people send to search for water and grass) does not lie to his people. By Allah Even if I lied to all people, I would never lie to you, and if I deceived all people, I would never deceive you. By Allah, other than Whom there is no deity worthy of worship, I am Allahs Messenger to you in particular and to all people in general. By Allah! You will die just as easy as you sleep, and you will be resurrected just as easy you wake up from sleep. You will be recompensed on account of what you do, earning good for good and evil for evil. Verily, it is either Paradise for eternity or the Fire for eternity.

Quran Islam Allah Dua



(Kamil, vol. 2, p. 27 and As-Sirah Al-Halabiyyah, vol. 1, p. 272 – Source: Selected Friday Sermons)

This speech from the Prophet included announcing his Prophet hood and calling his people to Islam, after Allah the Exalted and Most Honored revealed verses some of which are the following:

warner

Speech on Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) (and message of Islam)

And say: “I am indeed a plain warner.” (Al-Hijr, 15:89)

warn-family

And warn your tribe (O Muhammad SAW) of near kindred. And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you. (Ash-Shuara, 214-215)

Narrated Ibn Abbas: When the Verse:– ‘And warn your tribe of near kindred.’ (26.214) was revealed. Allah’s Apostle went out, and when he had ascended As-Safa mountain, he shouted, “O Sabahah!” The people said, “Who is that?” “Then they gathered around him, whereupon he said, “Do you see? If I inform you that cavalrymen are proceeding up the side of this mountain, will you believe me?” They said, “We have never heard you telling a lie.” Then he said, “I am a plain warner to you of a coming severe punishment.” Abu Lahab said, “May you perish! You gathered us only for this reason? ” Then Abu Lahab went away. So the “Surat:–ul–LAHAB” ‘Perish the hands of Abu Lahab!’ (111.1) was revealed.  (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, Hadith No. 495)

    “Either Paradise for eternity or the Fire for eternity.” -the choice is ours! Let us keep reminding ourselves of these words spoken by our beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and keep track of the straight path with the hope that Allah will admit us into Paradise InshaAllah.
    Salam and JazakAllah Khair for bringing this important sermon to us.

    We should be thankful to Allah [ God ] The Almighty for the favors he has blessed us with. How fortunate we are in this day and age to be receiving such valuable teachings and information free of charge . One only has to examine the situation we find ourselves in today . Here I refer to how difficult it has become for the man in the street the world over to obtain a decent education, without having to pay thousands of rands , to be a so called achiever. In the last sermon of ” Prophet Mohammad ” may peace and blessings be upon him , we learn so much, yet it is simple, but powerful message . The importance of education and y we should pursue it was taught to us by the prophet Mohammed [ S.W.S. ].

  • Thanks for sharing the first sermon f Mohammad (PBUH) . Truly the day of judgment is real as is Jannah and hell fire. Many in this world will die being tortured and oppressed and humiliated. On the day of judgment the tables will be turned. The books will be opened and the murderers oppressors and rapist will be brought to justice. May Allah protect us all from His Wrath and from the hellfire (ameen)

    I’am delighted and honoured for having Iqra Sence Website that brings all the unknowing Islamic knowledge to us particularly the first Sermon by Sayyadina Rasulilla.
    The Sermon teaches us to be rightious in all that we do and notifys us of resurrection after death and the judgement.

  • MUHAMMAD ABAJI Link Reply

    Alhamdulillah for this reminder of the first ever sermon of the noble prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). May we be guided on the right path which the prophet (s.a.w.) guided us up to the time we breath our last. And I pray for those brothers and sisters on the other side to also join this right path before breathing their last too.

    SAYYIDINA MUHAMMAD SALLALLAAHU ALEHI WA AALEHI WA SALLAM (peace and blessings be upon him), was kind and considerate to everyone he met. He tired his best to present the message of worship of the Creator instead of the creations to all he met in the kindest fashion and most considerate manner.
