LAST SERMON OF HAZRAT MOHAMMAD (S.A.W.W)
O people! Your blood and your property have been sanctified to one another till you
are presented to your Lord.
O God! Be our witness!
Deliberate murder shall be avenged. For the death caused unintentionally by club or stone
the compensation fixed is a hundred camels.
O people! The change of months (i.e. sanctified months) is an addition to the ways of
apostasy and through it the idolaters fall into further wrong path that a month made
permissible one year and prohibited next year so that by manipulation they substitute the
number of the months prohibited by God.
O people! Your women have been given some rights in respect of you and you have
been given some rights in respect of them.
Beware that I have conveyed the word O God! Be Thou the Witness.
So do not, after me, go back to the ways of idolatry and slay not each other.
I am leaving with you a thing that as long as you follow it, you will never go astray,
and that is the Book of God.
O people! God has assigned a specific share of inheritance to each heir. To will more than
one-third of ones property is not permitted.
Human thinking cannot improve on these speeches and no social system has in practice been
able to create such an order as indicated in these edicts. Wherever and whenever Islamic
movement commences and the system of truth is established it must be founded on these
very firm ideologies and concepts.

. SPEECH BY STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE
Worthy Director,
Assalam-o- Alaikum
It gives me immense pleasure in standing before you this morning on behalf of the
Graduating Students of CIIT Abbottabad on the auspicious occasion of our convocation -
the much awaited moment in the life of every student. I am here accompanied by my
fellow Graduating Students, who are anxiously waiting to be conferred the degrees by our
worthy Rector whose virtual presence through video link has added an aura of
respectability to todays ceremony.
Thank you Sir, for being with us at this momentous event of our lives.
I would like to extend my gratitude to our parents and teachers who are here with us
today, and who have always stood by us through thick and thin in the expeditious
attainment of our goal. I must acknowledge that it is due to our parents that we were able
to get into this highly prestigious educational institute of the country.
It is because of our parents and teachers that we have achieved our goal and our long
cherished sweet dreams have come to fruition. We are fully conscious of the fact that our
parents have spent their hard-earned money and have rendered every possible sacrifice to
enable us reach this stage. I would request my fellow Graduating Students to rise from
their seats and give them a standing ovation as a mark of respect and acknowledgement
for the great job done.
Let me also acknowledge the untiring efforts rendered by our alma mater and our
respectable teachers towards our intellectual, spiritual and moral grooming thereby
bringing about a metamorphosis in our personality traits. I thank them all on behalf of my
fellow students. We fully admit the unremitting endeavors of the CIIT Abbottabad in
providing us the state- of- the- art learning facilities and an environment conducive for
learning. I can confidently say that CIIT Abbottabad will continue nurturing the coming
generations the way it nurtured us.
I am glad that along with a degree, we are taking a treasure of pleasant memories with us
that would always remind us of the wonderful time that we spent here. On taking trip
down the memory lane, I remember 0800 hrs classes in the chilling winters of
Abbottabad and nobody could afford missing them due to the fear of 80% attendance
rule. I feel a chill in spine while recalling the hectic routine of unending assignments,
quizzes, presentations, exams and a
19
plethora of other events. I have the reminiscences of the Techno moot, sports week and
the convocations.
My ears still resonate with the musical performances of Funkada and the inspiring
debates and declamation competitions of Campus Literary Society and functions
organized by HERTZ society of Engineering Department. The colourful festivals
arranged by Aardish still flash in front of my eyes. All these past memories that were
once part of our lives will continue exciting us wherever we are.
I feel pride and honor in saying that CIIT Abbottabad enhanced us not only on the
academic front but also refined our character and personality, and for this we owe a lot to
CIIT Abbottabad. I admit that mere words are not sufficient to pay our gratitude to CIIT
Abbottabad unless we prove it by our action and character. Let us promise today that we
will do our utmost to bring a good name to our great alma mater and keep its flag high
under every circumstance. While leaving the portal of this great institution, we salute our
teachers and the CIIT Administration who played a pivotal role in shaping our
personality.
Lets make the best use of the precious moments of our lives, contribute towards nation
building and change the world into a much better place for the progeny.
May Allah bless you all and bless CIIT Abbottabad. Aameen.
