Seventy days before his demise,
Seventy days before his demise, when Prophet Muhammad (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY)[1] was returning to Medina after his last pilgrimage to Mecca, he reached the pond of Khumm (Ghadir Khumm) near Juhfa. It was the 18th of the month of Dhul-Hijja of the year 10 AH (March 15, 632 AD).
By this time, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) had conveyed all of the divine commandments to his nation except for the formal and explicit public announcement of his divinely appointed successors as the leaders, guardians, and guides for the believers for all days to come.
By the order of Allah, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) stopped at the pond of Khum, gathered the crowd of pilgrims, and delivered his last universal speech. In this sermon, he presented his last religious instruction which finalized the last divine religion and made Islam the perfect religion in the sight of Allah. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (PEACE BE UPON HIM ), the fifth Imam and successor of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) said:
آخِرُ فَرِيضَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى الْوَلَايَةُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُنْزِلْ بَعْدَهَا فَرِيضَةً ثُمَّ نَزَّلَ الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْفَأَقَامَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِالْجُحْفَةِ.
The last obligatory duty that Allah sent down was al-Walaya (adherence to the guardian assigned by Allah). Then, He sent down the verse: Today, I completed your religion[2] once the Messenger of Allah established it in Juhfa area.[3]
This message was the most unique in the entire mission of the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) due to the revelation of Verse 67, Chapter 5 of the Holy Quran before his speech. In this revelation, Allah warned His Messenger that failing to deliver this last message would nullify his entire mission. This unprecedented warning proves that this last message contained the most important religious commandment of Allah for the Muslim nation.
