He ties the purity of a believer's heart to three qualities, sincere devotion to Allah, goodwill toward the Muslims, and commitment to the community, before calling on Allah repeatedly to bear witness that he had delivered his charge."],"chapters":null,"series_name":"Originals","url":"https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/originals/the-final-sermon-of-prophet-muhammad-originals?utm_source=webmcp&utm_medium=ai-agent&utm_campaign=content-discovery"}
