During the Farewell Hajj on the plains of Arafat, the Prophet Hadrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) ﷺ delivered his final major address to over 100,000 Companions. He declared the sanctity of life, property, and honour; abolished all practices of the pre-Islamic era; affirmed the equality of all people regardless of race; established the rights of women; and commanded the Muslims to hold fast to the Quran and Sunnah. He asked: 'Have I conveyed the message?' and the people testified that he had.
