Waqia (Event):
The Death of Prophet Muhammad occurred on June 8, 632 CE, in Medina. It marked the passing of the final messenger of Islam, Prophet Muhammad, who had been instrumental in spreading the message of Islam and establishing the Muslim community.
Quranic Reference:
In Surah Al-Qalam, Chapter 68, Verse 4, Allah says:
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
Translation: "And indeed, you (O Muhammad) are of a great moral character."
Hadith:
It's narrated that Prophet Muhammad said, "The example of my guidance and teachings is like that of a rain which falls on a land. Some of it is good and fertile soil which absorbs the water and brings forth vegetation and grass in abundance. While there is also a portion of the land that is hard and holds the water so that Allah benefits the people with it; they drink, give drink to their animals, and use it for irrigation." (Bukhari)
The death of Prophet Muhammad marked the end of his prophethood but left behind a legacy of wisdom, compassion, and guidance for Muslims to follow. His passing initiated a period of succession in Islamic leadership and became a profound moment of reflection and unity among the Muslim community.
