2 Abdul Hasan All Nadvi, Islam and World Religions, P 28
Muhammad’s (SBUH) Last Message month, in this present place. (The Holy Prophet exclaimed): Have I communicated? O God, be Witness.” ”Whosoever has received a deposit, he must pay it back to the one who had deposited it with him.” ”Verily, the interest (on the debts) of the time of the preIslamic Ignorance (Jahiliyyah) is discharged, but you have right or your capitals. Neither you shall oppress nor shall you be oppressed. God hath decreed that there shall be no interest. And verily the interest 1 begin with (to discharge) if the interest due to my uncle Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib.” ”The traces of the functions of the time of Ignorance are discharged, except the Custodianship of the Ka’bah and the function of providing drinking water (to pilgrims).” The intentional murder shall be retaliated Semi-intentional is the one in which one is killed by a baton or a stone In this there shall be one hundred camels as blood-money. Whoever claims more he shall be of the people of the days of Ignorance (The Holy Prophet exclaimed then): Have I communicated? O God be Witness.
”Where after, O people! verily, Satan has despaired to be worshipped in this land, but he would be satisfied if he coulu be obeyed instfiings other than this from among deeds which you despise. So take care of him in matters of your religion.” ”O People! The intercalation is only an excess in disbelief; those who disbelieve are led thereby astray: they declare one month a^1 non-sacred and declare another as so that they may make up the number of (months) that God has declared as sacred. Verily, the (computation of) time had declared as sacred. Verily, the (computation of) time had turned round to the situation it was on the day He had created the heavens and the earth. Verily, the number of the months, to God, is twelve months, in the prescription of God, on the Day He had created the heavens and the earth; of these four are
sacred, three being consecutive and one isolated, viz.
Zual-Q’adah. Zual Hijjah and Muharram, and the month of Rajab of the tribes of Mudhar which occurs between Jumada al-Akhirah and Sh’aban. (The Holy Prophet asked loudly): Have I communicated? O God be Witness.” ”Where after, O People! Verily, your wives have a right over you, and you have a right over them. Your right over them is that they should not let your beds be trampled by any other
Political and Cultural History of Islam than you, and should not let your houses to those whom you do not like, if not with your permission. Let they not commit ugly things, and if they do. then God has authorised you to reprimand them, and to separate them in beds, and beat them yet a beating not very hard. If they stop and obey you. then it is incumbent on you to feed them and dress them according to good custom. Be enjoined of good with regard to women, for verily they are like captives with you, possessing nothing for themselves, and you have taken them as deposit of God and permitting yourselves to enjoy their persons by means oi a word of God. So fear God with regard to women, and be enjoined of good on their behalf. (Asked the Apostle loudly)- Have I communicated? O! God, be Witness.” ”O people! Believers are but brethren. And it is not lawful for a man to take the property of his brother if not with full agreement on his part. (Asked the Holy Prophet loudly). Have 1 communicated? O! God, be Witness.” ”(Likewise) never turn after me into disbelievers, some of you smiting the necks of some others. For verity, I eave among you something which if you abide by, you shall not go astr?y thereafter: the Book of God and the conduct (Sunnah) of His Prophet. (The Apostle asked then): Have 1 communicated? O! God, be Witness.” ”O People! Verily, your Lord is One, and your ancestor is also one. all of you are uie descendents of Adam, and Adam was made of clay. The most rentable of you in the sight of God is the one who is most fearful of God. No Arab has any excellence over a non-Arab if not b> the fear of God. (The Holy Prophet exclaimed): Have 1 communicated. U God. be witness. (The ’assembly of pilgrims replied: Yes. Thereupon he resumed): let the present communicate to the absent.”
-O people! God has apportioned for every heir his part of the heritage. It is not lawful to make a testament for an heir. Testament (to other than heirs) is not lawful for more than third of the property left. The child belongs to the (owner) oi the bed (husband), and the adulterer will only receive stones. Whoever pretends filiation to other than his father, or clientage to other than his patron, shall incur the malediction
