The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muḥammad Mustafa sa wa yadhkurusmallahi fi ayyamimma'lumatin 'ala ma razaqa hummim bahīmatil an‘ami fa kulu minha wa ațʻimul bā'isal faqir thummal yaqḍu tafathahum wal yūfū nudhūrahum wal yaṭṭawwafu bil baitil 'afiq. And proclaim unto mankind the Pilgrimage. They will come to you on foot, and on every lean camel, coming by every distant track. That they may witness its benefits for them and may mention the name of Allāh, during the appointed days, over the quadrupeds of the class of cattle that He has provided for them. Then eat you thereof and feed the distressed, the needy. Then let them accomplish the task of cleansing themselves, and fulfill their vows and go around the Ancient House. (22:28-30) sa. On the day of the pilgrimage, the Holy Prophet" received the revelation containing the famed verse of the Holy Qur'ān: الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِيْنَكُمْ وَ أَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيْتُ لَكُمُ الإسلام ديناء al yauma akmaltu lakum dinakum wa atmamtu 'alaikum ni'mati wa radītu lakumul islama dinā. This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favor upon you and have chosen for you Islām as religion. (5:4). This verse said in effect that the message which the Holy Prophet had brought from God and which by word and deed he had been expounding all these years, had been completed. Every part of this message was a blessing. The Message now completed, embodied the highest blessings which man could receive from God. The Message is epitomized in the name 'Al-Islam', which means submission. Submission was to be the religion of Muslims, the religion of mankind. sa 418
