The first sermon of the Messenger of God in Medina

This is the text of the sermon

Which the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, delivered a sermon on the first Friday prayer he performed in Medina in Bani Salem bin Awf:

“Praise be to God, I praise Him, I seek His help, I seek His forgiveness, I seek His guidance, I believe in Him and do not disbelieve in Him, and I am hostile to whoever disbelieves in Him, I bear witness that there is no god but God alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger whom He sent with guidance, light, and admonition, over a period of messengers, a lack of knowledge, misguidance of the people, and a cessation of time, the Hour is near and the term is near. Whoever obeys God and His Messenger has guided them, and whoever disobeys them has gone seduce and too far astray, I advise you to pious God, for it is the best thing a Muslim can advise a Muslim to do, then to encourage him to the Hereafter and command him to piety to God, beware of God from Himself. There is no better advice than that and no better remembrance than that, and that fear of God for whoever acts upon it with reverence and fear of his Lord is a true help in what you seek in the matter of the Hereafter, whoever reconciles his affairs with God in secret and in public, not intending to do so except for the sake of God, it will be remembered for him in his immediate affairs and a reserve after death, when a person lacks what he has given, and there is nothing else, he wishes that there was a long time between him and it, God Himself warns you, and God is Compassionate toward His servants, and He who is true to His word and fulfills His promise, there is no going back from that, for He Almighty says:

{مَا يُبَدَّلُ الْقَوْلُ لَدَىَّ وَمَآ أَنَاْ بِظَلَّمٍ لّلْعَبِيدِ} (قلله: 29)

{What I said, it cannot be changed and I am not unjust to my slaves.} (Qullah: 29)

So pious God in your present and future affairs, in secret and in public, for whoever pious God will have his sins expiated and his reward will be increased, and whoever fears God has achieved a great victory, and if he fears God, it protects his hatred and anger, If you fear God, your faces will be brightened, your Lord will be pleased, and your rank will be raised, take your luck and do not neglect God. God has taught you His Book and shown you His way so that you may know those who are truthful and He knows the liars, so do good as God has done good to you and be hostile to His enemies and strive for the sake of God as He deserves to strive. He has chosen you and named you Muslims so that whoever is destroyed will be destroyed with clear evidence, And whoever lives lives with clear proof, and there is no power except with God, so remember God often and work for what comes after today, for whoever reconciles what is between him and God, God will protect him from what is between him and people, this is because God destroys people but they do not eliminate Him, and He rules over people but they do not rule over Him. God is Greatest and there is no power except in God Almighty.

We note that  

1 - The Messenger of God did not mention the people of Mecca in it, nor did they mention their stubbornness, their insistence on disbelief, their harm to Muslims, and their conspiracy to kill him.

2 - He limited his sermon to urging Muslims to be pious, and reminding them of God Almighty. This is, in truth, the ultimate goal of politeness and the ultimate goal of a prudent person, If he had been other than the Messenger of God, he would have been angry and enumerated their faults, because they were the ones who failed him, persecuted him, and expelled him from the country he loved and it was an obstacle in the way of conveying the message of his Lord, and God Almighty spoke the truth when He said: {And indeed, you are on a great morals} (Al-Qalam: 4).

3- We see the men of the parties using in their speeches the ugliest words and the most heinous insults for trivial reasons, yet they claim to be leaders and gentlemen who spread knowledge and civilization and seek reform and freedom.

The importance of remembering the consequences

The great thing about triggers – a trigger reminder is anything you put “in your way” to remind you to do something. The best motivators are related in some way to the behavior you want to produce, for example, if you want to remember to take something to work that you wouldn't normally do, you can place it in front of the door so you have to. Pick it up to get out of your house. For a lot of tasks, the best reminders are ones that are completely automated—you set them up and then forget about them, trusting the trigger to show up when you need them.
